Money is gone once you spend it 💰 👉 🗑️

One concept I find very hard to understand is the professed way of economics, as I am very schooled in American way of thinking – you spend money, it is instantly gone, and then you dispose of it at landfill. Be it buying a house or vehicle or any appliance. Once you spend money it is instantly turned into trash, there is no value in used material things, depreciation isn’t a real thing.

Do people actually resell their trash? Well, I guess much trash has some economic value, as people buy used cars and used houses, and get paid for scrap metal, but neither has any real value in my mind except for the utility it provides. I think there is too much focus on the value of used items – instead you should think of it is at trash – and if you get any value of an used object – it’s better then paying to dispose of it at the landfill.
