Lonely but don't like people

I dunno, I think I relate at least somewhat to that. I don't need friends, but I still want them, friends are still nice to have even if they aren't essential to me.

With "Social Credit Scoring" looming on all our horizons as soon as they can get that CBDC thing off the ground, then the number and quality of friends you have may well be part of the calculus applied to determine your income...

Friends have been essential to me, in the past. Lacking meaningfull family ties, it was make new "Family" or be a hermit.

NVM I just looked it up, and just wanted to put your mind at ease because I know in some ways you are an old head like me, don't worry, crypto will come come and go like a fad, physical assests like gold are always where it is at, since the Ukraine - Russian war the price of my inherited gold has gone up several times over though ofc I wouldn't sell unless I absolutely had to.
Oh btw

you just described my marriage lol. Nah I'm kiding, I do have friends, but like other than that yeah it's not more folks than I can count on both hands tbh.

Doesn't mention CBDC tbh, also governments all over the world can do that to people now with regular bank accounts it's nothing new. If you're that worried about it happening here you should write to your local MP and voice your concern.

Can you provide sources for all that?

Most people mistake money for wealth or power. It is not actually the same.

Money is tokens which are generally accepted but have no intrinsic value whatsoever. The value of money is ENTIRELY in the minds of people. 

Money because it is a token acts as an intermediary between you and your actually wealth and adds layers of complication which many sets of very clever people have set up systems to "Skim" a little bit of YOUR wealth into their pockets.

This means that most of you have incomes of around 10x my 200 quid a month, yet you spend it all on things that you need, simply to live via a myriad of financial transactions all of which have a tiny bit skimmed off for the benefit of someone who would not pee on you if you were on fire..

Worse, each direct debit you have, has an inbuilt penalty that will happen if it does not get paid, so if you suddenly run out of income, your troubles aggregate rapidly, forcing you to focus entirely on making the money dance work again, lest you lose your credit score. 

What is this credit score? It's an indication of how likely you are to service your debts, and bend over backwards to do it. In short, it's an indication of how vulnerable and needy you are, which has been sold to you as an indication of your personal power.

In practice when you first start to get "weaned off money" it's bloody hard. There are SO MANY things you can no longer do, so many things you cannot see etc.And that's AFTER you figure our how to live without paying rent or rates or any of that stuff. It's hard to do. 

The system under which we live is set up that way. And they are making it harder to live outside of it every day. But it's very easy for ONE person in a two person relationship to eschew money, and it's not much harder to live your life in credit IF you can manage to learn to spend what money you have wisely.

Oddly enough, "living within your means" will punish your "credit rating", but it is nice to not be financailly "vulnerable" all the time.
