Think of interest money as the snow capped tip of a mountain or the frosting on the cake.
Without the tip or the topping, your money is just a dead thing.
With the tip your money becomes whole, it becomes engaged and it is, for all intents and purposes...
working for you! which is the real purpose of money.
Every day you wake up at the sound of the alarm clock and drowsily get out of bed to face another day of work to get money.
This money pays your bills and puts food on the table.
You work for this money.
It never works for you.
YOU work for it.
In this light, we could say money is your master.
If you work and work and work for it, then naturally it is money that is a dead object, lazy money that requires you to carry it every single day, day in and day out.
Interest money on the other hand, is money that works for you.
One could get quite disenchanted with the "amount" of money your money can make for you.
A simple term deposit in a bank even at 10% per year would only offer a few hundred dollars over a whole year if you had a few thousand sitting there.
What many people realize after several years of this, is that the goal of our financial lives (money isn't everything but in the financial sphere of our lives) the goal is to make our money work for us.
After this realization the very next realization is that a bank term deposit is not very useful in creating wealth and therefore we have to find ways of making our money work for us that delivers a much higher return.
Well...
that is the goal, that is the direction and I hope you think further about this.
