(Compact Philosophy)
In the 21st century, ownership has taken a decline.
We rent movies, stream music, and have are money digitally imprinted in banks.
Physical mediums are dying. Digitalization is prevalent.
We are starting to really own less & less.
As mediums become more digitized, the meaning of reality lessens to the psyche.
The digital realm is a massed causation of hyper-reality.
Hyperreality is the inability to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality....
Often times in media, a story can be presented that does not entirely reflect actual reality.
Own the things you own:
- Buy your movies, shows, and video games in physical format.
- Buy your music in CD's
- Have a savings of ACTUAL. REAL. PHYSICAL. CASH
The things we'd own, now become the things we rent.
like a child given a toy and then it taken away on the weekends.
The system has everyone on a treadmill of subscriptions. Taking things away from you
We live in a subscription economy.
Be a man. Own your shit.

"The things you own end up owning you."
I agree with what your basic premise is, but the things you need to own are things that can make you money. Your house (equity), rental property, land, businesses, stocks, bullion, etc. Movies and games and bullshit, it doesn't matter if they're digital or physical because those things don't matter. Also, those things in physical format are going the way of the dodo anyway. Movies are eventually gonna only be streaming, because then companies can make you pay for it over and over again whenever one service goes down and another comes up. Games all need patches now to be complete. Half the time a game disk doesn't even have the game on it, it's just a key to download the game.
As far as having a savings account of cash goes... well, yes you need to have liquid money. Hell, Warren Buffet has a billion dollars liquid so he can make moves on businesses he likes. But that's the thing. That liquid money is there to be risked in order to make more. If you just horde cash in a savings account then you're losing 1-3% to inflation every year. You have to invest it. You have to risk it.
Scared money don't make money.
