Be Responsible

You Can’t Trust Government With Your Future

You can’t trust what they say they will do.  You can’t trust them with your money.  You can’t trust them to conserve any money.  You can’t trust them to hold or protect any money or anything that can be turned easily into money.

You just can’t trust any government, any institution, professionals, community, or family when it comes to your money and your future.

Manage Your Own Life.

You can’t trust anyone else with your money.  An old proverb applies, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”.  It might get dropped.  Accidents do happen.

You must, because of practical necessities, trust governments, institutions, professionals, and family members for some things, but not all of your money and not to any one of them.  Even then, you must watch them closely to make sure they are doing what you have requested and expect.  

“Trust, but verify,” as Ronald Reagan famously said of treaty agreements; applies to anything where your hard earned money is involved. 

Never let others get too comfortable with your money.  Move it around, take some of it away, and let someone new handle parts of it for awhile.  Hold some of it yourself and keep track of it and manage it carefully and responsibly.

You can’t trust your money or your future to the government or anyone else.

You cannot trust governments with anyone’s money.

Manage your own money.  Manage your own future. 

Manage your own life, if it's screwed up, at least you will know precisely who to blame.
