Introduction

Everyone looks at money a little bit differently. Reactions to seeing physical money vary based on a person's thoughts of money. In reality, money is really no more than a collective thought. The expression about a weak currency goes "that money isn't worth the paper it's printed on" is a great example of this, as a clerk won't accept a more "valuable" item, paper, unless it is printed on with the official markings, but reducing it's value. Also, currently a US penny costs more than one cent to manufacture, when material and production costs are both factored in. But the attitude of money seems to strongly correlates to, if not causes, the real manifestation of gains or losses in finances.
Even the stock market, which seems incredibly fickle, is driven by both the individual collective attitude of money. From bubbles in certain market sectors to their eventual burst, the timing involves little more than simply thoughts.
Throughout this blog, I intend to pursue and report both agreements and disagreements to my theories about the mystery that is money. I invite all readers to comment, either positively or negatively, about my ideas and ideals.

Cheers,
