**Money spoils everything**, and in [capitalism](capitalism.md) money is everywhere. As Richard Muller sings: "happiness is a beautiful thing, but it can't buy you money".

Sadly capitalism forced EVERYONE to deal with money, even those who hate it. How to handle this? **Correct relationship towards money** you should have as an [LRS](lrs.md) follower:
|
|
|
|
- **Hate money**, always aim for eliminating money from society. Does this mean you should hate having money? No, this means you should hate *having to have money*.
|
|
- **Minimize damage money does**, i.e. firstly do NOT run capitalist businesses that steal money from the poor (basically every business eventually does this through some level of indirection), that makes money harm others. Secondly make money do less damage to yourself, i.e. do not rid yourself of money by burning them or anything, just use them to live in less pain. You can also **use money for good** -- if you have enough, just give it to someone in need. Don't teach people to fish, just give them the fucking fish if you have tons of them. Remember than **being rich means being a murderer** because you are just sitting on resources that could simply save lives of many, just by having a lot of money and doing nothing you are killing people, so don't be rich -- if you are, just give money to someone.

- **Use money to become independent of money**, i.e. only make money so that you don't have to care about money, NOT to consume more of capitalist production. With regards to "winning a lottery" most people nowadays have the attitude of "I'd keep living the same but I would buy a bigger house and could wear luxury clothes", which is the retarded stance that only enslaves you more and increases overall damage to everyone. The correct thinking is "I would stop working so that I could be more free and do more good without having to make profit anymore".

- **Don't become a slave to money**, i.e. don't spend your thinking time on investments, accounting, protecting your funds, insurances, currencies, businesses to make more money etc. Just as with technology, make some minimal setup that just makes you not have to think about money, EVEN if it costs something (i.e. makes you lose something to inflation etc.). { I'm real retarded about economy but it may be good to e.g. have some cash ready (like for quarter of a year of living), then some saving bank account (where more money goes and possibly gets some small interest but is still available somehow) and then some physical gold to protect from inflation. Anyway even this may be too much for many to worry about, feel free to even just go all cash in your mattress if you want to avoid bank software and such shit, it's all fine. ~drummyfish }
