The Tax We Impose on Ourselves by Our Idleness...

Father Abraham continues...

"...We are taxed twice as much by our idleness,"

Father Abraham’s math might be a bit obscure but one thing is certain; individually and collectively, we lose both income and assets by failing to act when action is appropriate or required.

Money comes from work. Success comes from handling that money well. That’s more work. Americans are the masters when it comes to making money from their work, but we have given in to idleness when it comes to managing our personal finances.

We have allowed the Behemoths to convince us that they know better than we do what is best for us. We have relinquished our power over our own money, and that is a greater burden than taxes ever could be.

A painful realization?
