    Of course, but the effect is the same. $5 turns into $50, $5,000 turns into $50,000. Or vice versa.

    Frugal without intelligent investment risk is not worth it, though - in my opinion.

    The mint is the only institution that creates money. All the others simple redistribute it.

    No. Everyone knows that money comes from greedy, lazy rich people that lay around on their yachts, don't create anything or contribute to society in any way.



    Then we tax them.

    "Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around the roots and made very good fertilizer."
