### What is money?
# Money is a tool.
That's really all it is. I could stop this post here. 

We could of course talk about all the things money causes or whatever but that isn't the question is it?

Money is a tool. 

It's intended use is spending.

Like any other tool, that tool can be used in a multitude of ways. It's intended use still being spending.

## A hammer is a tool. 
It's intended purpose is pounding and I can use this tool in multiple ways.

I can pound nails into boards.
I can pound stakes into ground.
Screws don't pound that well.
I can use it to break.
I can use it to kill.
I can use it to build.
I can leave it in my toolbox and never use it.
I can forget where I left it.
I can never own it.
I can watch it decay.
I can decorate with it.
I can do things with it that make no sense.
I can name or personify it.
I can fucking worship it.

### Money's intended use is spending.
Therefor money must be spent for it's energy to flow nicely. If everyone were hodlers money would not flow as a result. It would be held instead. There would be no economy because no one spent anything.

For money to flow right, it must be spent. 

In our personal lives, when we get to uptight about money and it's flow... 

It works precisely like a faucet.

The tighter we get the less it will flow, the looser we are the more it flows. In a spectrum like anything else.

We have to have the faucet open to get flow.

When you have plenty of money it's often easier to be carefree with some of it. When you're poor the opposite can be true. It can be harder to view money in this way because you "need" it. 

### And... Where does that "need" come from?
From the belief that something "has to" be done.
This is a device, implanted into your fucking mind. 
There are very few true "needs" that a human can have. 

Money is not one of them. Money, like all tools, are not necassary, they are not needed. They are wanted for the job they do.

"Have to" and "Has to" used in this way is a trick. It adds a connotation of force. Like we are forced to do something. The truth is you don't have to do one damn thing. You can sit right there on your ass your whole life eating whatever falls from the sky if you really want. It is your choice now and forever will be.

As society does it's thing though, it is judgement of another human that causes us all to add these "Have to" and "Has to" into our speech and thought. We base them loosely off of what we would consider comfortable and change them as society grows. 

When they are used third person or at another person it's really forceful. "They have to!" This interjection onto the other human requires response. It's up to the other human how it responds.

#### No one "has to".

It was literally all made up.

When they are used in first person this way, when you are saying this "have to", "has to" shit to yourself...
You're fucking yourself so hard!

Because you've allowed something into your psyche that causes so much harm. The split moment that it's there it immediately goes to work. Now you have created inside your own mind this boss like narrative that is accurately helmed, by societal bullshit alone.

This mental device of sorts makes you anxious and more anxious the more you go thinking about "having to" do the thing. 

The thing that you "have to" do, in nearly all cases where this "have to" bullshit is making you feel some no good type of way.... Is nearly 100% all the time fake! 

### NOT FUCKING REAL! 

Not something that actually gets you to your goal, yet in fact something another human (or many) influenced you to believe would get you there.

The fact that it makes you feel shitty to "have to" do it is because you know inside your psyche that it was oppressed upon you. Yet you, nor another individual human, is at the helm. In the drivers seat, steering this bus, is societal pressure alone. 

It comes from you. You did it.

Every time we say things like "I can't believe that person... I would have... they should..."

Phrases and beliefs like this are what's creating and compounding the "have to" devolution. 

It's literally our fault.

So, if you're feeling like you have to do something, don't be lazy... you likely should do something... but that something that is nagging may very well be totally unnecessary to reach your goal and even limiting.

Societal pressures literally control the mind and now you know how. They give you "have to".

#### No person can create in your world and you can create in no persons world. 
There is only influence. 

Societal pressure is an immense, all surrounding, influence that virtually goes unnoticed. It's like we expect it to be normal so damn much that we just roll over and beg.

## Why did I just rant about influence?
That same societal influence is literally the driving force of money flow.

"Have to" shows it's ugly head all day every day when you're on the topic of money.

Remember that money is a tool.

With that little "have to", "has to" device running in your head with so damn many other ones along side it... clear cut recipe for destruction. 

You won't use your tool in a way that is the best benefit for you and yours with all the  "have to has to" bullshit.

Whatever your real right things to do with your tool really turn out to be, don't let it be the "have to" bullshit with social pressure in the drivers seat. That can tighten up the flow of your money/tool and can leave you feeling without.

It's your tool, let it flow some and use it your best way.
Just remember, its intended use is spending.
