I was listening to something on the radio and a woman remarked that "Money is Fiction". And in my car while on M-57 I yelled "Eureka! Somebody agrees with me!" Money is fiction. There is no money. You have no money. You are penniless. Lucky for you though that you have digits.
You see, every two weeks the State of Michigan puts a series of electronic digits into my account. And I am happy. From that series of electronic digits I send my creditors a series of electronic digits. And when they get them, they are happy. I assume they then send their creditors an electronic series of digits, and all of their creditors are happy. But they are only numbers. They are meaningless numbers.
Where is the money in all of this? There is no money. We are all just agreeing to somehow get along.
Money is fiction....an illusion. But, what the hell.
