I have been on a journey since being made unemployed by Covid in the Spring. The ideal destination in my mind is a "Portfolio Career", or the flexibility to do several things or have multiple sources of income. It was something I had considered but remained focused on contacting existing businesses I am attracted to with the goal of seeking part-time (preferable) or full-time (would live with it if I liked the business) work. My focus on freelancing would come after this. However, my meeting with this former curmudgeon, now relaxed business owner changed my outlook.

Seven Deadly Sins of the 21st Century – Part 3: Greed
Greed = Low Interest Rates The low interest environment and policy of quantitative easing is easily the most misunderstood, misappropriated, gossiped and ignored issue impacting our lives in the 21st Century. An issue of contradictions. Depending on who you speak to it is the source of all our ills or it is saving us. It is the conspiracy theory of gold nuts, it is the bible of Keynesian ideologues. It is trickling benefits into the economy, it is creating massive inequality. It is debated regularly in the financially-literate bubbles of society, and it is never discussed among the mainstream press or among the public. The problem is that the numbers do not lie. Central bank policy is the main source of greed in the 21st Century.
