Debt: The Economy of Your Anatomy in My New Life

I’ve always found it amazing how conscious folks can be of their financial debt and never caring about their physical debt. Just like paying bills monthly, you owe your body payments. Imagine your space at home is like a trampoline, and the greater debt your body is owed the further down the tramploline sinks in the centre. Thus climbing out of the centre becomes more and more difficult the further it sinks. And that’s not to mention the feeling of floating and bouncing, which is a natural good feeling, becomes more and more difficult; takes more energy. Why do we like money apart from paying for food, shelter, and water? Well, money gives us good feelings. We get good feelings when we spend it on treats, or buy something we like. We enjoy being able to go out when we want to feel better. Money in a lot of ways=good feelings. Thus, going to the gym, the park, a nature hike, or yoga mat=good feelings=money. We also need money to save for retirement, healthcare, and rainy days. But, working out increases your potential energy to survive with. It’s money in the bank. It decreases a need for healthcare and insurance, and will make retirement more rewarding.

There is an equilibrium of muscle (or physical capability) and the weight you must carry around. Once the body goes into debt to that equilibrium, one is no longer standing on the hard solid surface of the earth. They are living in theory, or as legal statistics.

*There are always exceptions. We don’t have the time and space to mull through every exception out there. Welcome to college.
