Some people live on dilapidated property that costs next to nothing and make gradual improvements out of pocket. Their lives are like living a 20 year long camping trip where they might even have to shower at where they work during the week for a living.Vegas » 14 Jun 2022, 11:32 am » wrote: ↑ This is a complicated question because each person has their own lifestyle. Therefore, generalizing is the only way to answer this. On one hand, most of America needs banks to buy homes and cars. The average American cannot pull out 400k at any time from his wallet and buy a house or a car. We depend on banks to put us in debt, so we can live somewhere and have a means to get to work...so we can continue to live somewhere. Most Americans cannot survive unless a bank puts them in debt. At the same time, that is a **** life. That is hardly freedom. I am not sure how we can say we live in a 'free country' if we are under the rule of institutions that determines our future. What if there were no banks? It's a hypothetical question that I would love to entertain. Would most of America be homeless with no cars to get to work? In the beginning, of course life would be hell. However, as time goes on, in the long run, would things work itself out, thereby resulting in a better life?
