At various stages in the human history wealth meant different things.
If some two or three hundred years ago wealth was the number of horses
and mansions you possessed and your social standing in high society,
one hundred years ago an expensive house and several luxury cars, today
wealth means your ability to afford many things, including information,
freedom of travelling and a lot of others. You don't have to impress
the surrounding people by thick stacks of bank notes as today you can
just use credit
cards
for all possible monetary and non-monetary operations. Operations with
credit cards are almost risk-free as you don't carry any money with you
and you are not afraid of losing it. You can lose your credit cards, of
course, but you can call your bank any time and they will be blocked at
once. You can pay with your credit cards in restaurants, at parking
lots, in cinemas, virtually in all places in the developed countries.
All your purchases and payments are fixed, and you can see them later
on your bank statements. |
