Description
Why is it important to learn about economics? Simply because everything you do is affected by the economy. From worldly issues to financing, all the way to understanding how the marketplace and currency works.As we all know, America's economy has become a shithole; but why? Some people, such as my mother (ah, see, there's someone I interviewed) says it's because of Israel--which I full-heartedly agree with. Our god-fearing fuhrer and the minions donate heaps of cash to the Holy Land and its people. Did you know that we give every citizen of Israel at least $500 a year? It's a fact.
Managing money is an extremely important skill for anyone. My friend Ben (namedrop) is a prime example of why you should be responsible, as he's a complete screw-up. Having lived from home to home, spending more money on clothes than food, he's having a very hard time establishing himself in the world when there's only about a hundred bucks in his bank account. It also doesn't help that he has zero social skills.
Money is a funny thing because most of Africa doesn't have any. I'd use the term 'lol', but I don't think that's appropriate for a conventional essay. Each form of currency fluctuates continually in equivalence to another. For example, one US dollar equals about .75 Euros--imagine that. Now, you may be asking, "How do I make money when I don't want to get off my Pringles-encrusted sofa and make something of myself because I'm a typical American?" Well, you could invest in the stock market. In doing this, you'd be buying shares of a business, which you keep for while and pray to God that they increase in value; then you sell, and tada, you've made a profit. This is in essence gambling, of course, and can be very risky--especially with players like Bernard Madoff.
So, in conclusion, every aspect of your every day life basically revolves around money. It really doesn't matter what year it is, we go through cycles of depression; things have a way of coming full circle. I'd say that alone is a pretty good reason to learn more about it.
