Ten Dollars Per Week Is Just Half Packet of Smokes

I have tried to teach people that saving ten dollars per week together, as a group of people can create wealth If you invest each week and help it grow, you could buy off the internet and sell through garage sales, watch television you could go to secondhand markets and sell at auctions You can buy equipment and start your own cleaning service thousand of people could add to my ideas one hundred people saving ten dollars per week Could be used to buy houses one thousand dollars per week fifty-two thousand dollars per year the deposit every year for a house the planet has six billion people six billion people times ten dollars per week is sixty billion times fifty-two the money to build anything Desalination plants factories anything you can imagine granted there would be problems people buy houses sometimes tenants won't pay rent people buy, franchises and some lose thousands We can all watch the news and see the risks of small business five of six small shops shut down, across the road from us I presume, they could have made a profit but some shops, never have customers with rents wages and running cost going into business is hard yet if people don't go into business nobody would have jobs the word on the street, people say companies get away with not paying tax maybe that's the truth but companies pay wages and workers pay tax from those wages So indirectly companies do pay tax I watched a female manager who owned a coffee shop saying it's not fair, the wages a too high I can't take time off I can't afford the costs every day she worked and struggled to make a profit, business is hard but growing small business is what builds your economy Mr Bill Gates started micro soft from his back yard now it makes thousands of dollars per second Imagine what he could do with an investment of sixty billion dollars per week But I can't afford ten dollars per week well that's true when people get only seventeen cents an hour when people live in poverty Watching their children die ten dollars per week would be more than they could afford That why I suggested Encouraging Industrialized nations employees to become investors first ten dollars per week is just half a pack of smokes you spend more going out to the pictures
