WE NEVER ACTUALLY SPEND THE MONEY WE GET: 100% SAVINGS RATE
The funny money we receive can't be spent. Why not?
1. We can make all the spending money we want.
2. If we spent someone else's we'd be poorer.
3. It's rude. Here, take this person's money, I don't think it's worth keeping.
We save all the money we get. We get richer and richer. This is different from the unlimited virtual wealth of making our own money. This is money we've earned, that people have given us. We treasure it, a measure of our value in funny society.
If we can't spend it, what can we do with it? We can invest it in building a funny economy. We can invest it in fun and games, in creating a funny world.
Investing 100% of our earnings makes for spectacular growth -- a funny money growth economy. This is how funny money can rapidly overtake the old economy and make it a funny world.
When we've had all the fun we can stand, we can invest our surplus in good works. Funny money morphs into Time Dollars, or volunteer hours, at $100/hr.
