So I'm not really that religious, but today is a Sunday.

So for today's book of the day, I decided I would read the Bible, specifically Proverbs,

you know, which is like the wisest book, the Book of Wisdom.

And one passage really stood out to me, Proverbs 7.

It says, the borrower is the slave of the lender.

And I had to think, you know, I just read in the United States, the average person owes

something like $200, $250,000.

They owe $15,000 in credit cards.

They owe about $120,000, $30,000 on their home.

They owe $30,000 on just cars.

They owe $40,000 or more on school loans.

That's pretty crazy.

And so, you know, there's all this kind of occupy Wall Street and hate against capitalism.

And maybe some of that is rightfully so.

I think in general, it doesn't make sense.

It's not corporations that are the problem.

Just remember, corporations in the world are owned by shareholders.

And the 300 million people in America and people in the world, most of us are the shareholders.

If you have a 401k, if you have an IRA, if you own mutual funds, you're invested in these

corporations.

So the corporations themselves are not necessarily quote unquote evil, whether the banks are

lending money at high interest rate.
