Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money, it's a crime…

CORONAVIRUS OFFERS "A BLANK PAGE FOR A NEW BEGINNING"
SAYS LI EDELKOORT, March 9, 2020
"A QUARANTINE OF CONSUMPTION"
"It seems we are massively entering a quarantine of consumption where we will learn how to be happy just with a simple dress, rediscovering old favorites we own, reading a forgotten book and cooking up a storm to make life beautiful," she said. However, the virus was also showing how economic disruption could have environmental benefits, she argued. "The recent pictures of the air above China showed how two months without production cleared the skies and allowed people to breathe again," she said, referring to the fact that carbon emissions and pollution from Chinese industry have declined since the virus first hit the country.
"This means that the virus will show how slowing and shutting down can produce a better environment which will surely be visible on a large scale."
"I AM HOPEFUL FOR A BETTER SYSTEM"
"And this is where I am hopeful for: another and better system to be put in place with more respect for human labor and conditions." Edelkoort, who runs New York City forecasting agency Edelkoort Inc, wrote to Dezeen via email from South Africa, where she is in "self-imposed auto-quarantine" following her lecture at the Design Indaba conference in Cape Town last month.

Coronavirus offers "a blank page for a new beginning" says Li Edelkoort
The coronavirus epidemic will lead to "a global recession" but will eventually allow humanity to reset its values, according to Li Edelkoort.
55% OF AMERICANS LIVE PAYCHECK-TO-PAYCHECK
G.E. Miller, Jan. 21, 2019
Actually, that’s inaccurate. 36% are living paycheck-to-paycheck, 19% are actually worse off than that – accruing debt. That means that about 6-in-10 people you pass walking down the street (as they enter clothing stores and bars) are saving absolutely nothing or worse.
And only 35% are “certain they could come up with the full $2,000” if an unexpected need for $2,000 came up within the next month (similarly, 40% claimed to have set aside 3 months or more in an emergency savings fund).
Sadly, it’s one of the pre-dominant financial memes out there because “spend less than you earn” is often taken as “spend almost everything you earn”. It’s easy to prescribe, easy to follow, and universally understood.
IT’S ALSO A RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
What happens when you consistently live paycheck-to-paycheck?
• You go into serious debt if income stops coming in, and then you pay high interest on that debt
• You are always stressed out about financial risk and hardship
• You aren’t able to build sufficient emergency savings
• You will never save anything for retirement and will be working until death
• You will never achieve financial independence
• You will not be able to save up for an occasional vacation, home improvement, education, etc.
• You really can’t work towards ANY future goals that are reliant on saved assets
Earning more does not cure all.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Granted, those in the very lowest income brackets are not going to be able to save much, if anything (no matter what McDonald’s PR firm tries to sell us).
But the median US household income is $61,372. Outside of West and East coast metros, anything nearing this level of income should be adequate enough to provide a level of savings for most individuals and small families.
EVERYTHING IS NOT OK. STOP THE MADNESS!

"A canary in a coal mine" is an advanced warning of some danger. It originates from the times when miners used to carry caged canaries while at work; if there was any methane or carbon monoxide in the mine, the canary would die before the levels of the gas reached those hazardous to humans.
