Time is really a great teacher. When we were young, we do not care about anything and everything, but as time passes, we mature and then we learn a lot in life. We learn to value relationships, we learn to hope for a bright future, we hope for a better life when we became so old and retire. By then we wish that time would be longer for us, to have longer life on earth. We wish for more time!

Well I believe that while the Healthcare in countries of Scandinavia- Denmark, Sweden etc is very good and due to lesser population, its fully Government funded, well maintained and affordable.
Yet in US, UK etc, its costly but still accessible.

As for India, it is accessible for those with deep pockets, but still it hurts.
For Middle class- a big disease means, years of hard work and saved money gone for a six.
For rest- well it is a miserable state to be in.
Govt. hospitals and clinics are mostly pathetic, and if someone falls seriously ill, its only a Godly intervention that can save them.

And many countries are even worse than India, some have almost non-existent healthcare.

What we need is more citizen-to-citizens and NGOs to NGOs collaboration across the globe.
And Governments must be made accountable for Healthcare.

Else, demolish all the Govt. hospitals and hand them over to citizens cooperatives who can perhaps run them better.

And Technology can play a better role, in form of Telemedicine, Employee Health Records(EHR), rationalization of expenses in private and public hospitals.
I have a lot to say, but as of now I think the citizens must get united and have more say in how Healthcare services are there in a country.

At least in our country,Philippines, the government gives every poor citizen free hospitalization in public hospitals; or they are enrolled in medical insurance or Philhealth which they can use even in private hospitals. Though in some areas, there are poor medical services like lack of good hospitals that are equipped with good facilities and manned by good doctors or medical staff.

One of the problems here is that many health professionals like doctors, nurses, etc. leave the country for abroad to work there for higher wages.

@Michelle ,

Indeed, it is an advantage that we have our online earnings. At least, they accumulate to many when we don’t withdraw them. At least on a time when we needed it we can have them.

It is nicer too, that we have not only one earning site. I am happy I was referred here also, because it helps a lot for me to have more earnings. 🙂

Money is a leading direction at all!

Money is all that you say it is. If only folks could figure out how to take it out of this world when they leave! Not to say that many have not tried to take it with them. It makes me wonder. Money is so powerful in this world. But you can’t take it into the next world? So … ??? What has the power in the next world? If it’s not money, what could it be? It’s a thought.

Also … if we can live without money in the next world, then why couldn’t we figure out how to live without money in this world too? It’s another thought.

Thanks for sharing this. Your article is as my economy text book which I read and study during my Pre-U period.
I love all these story and information, it helps me refresh my reading memory on economic topics from the basic.
I love to collect coins, especially the old one if possible, the latest one doesn’t have good design as the old one, and the “old” feeling, to me. Hehe!

Thank you for liking the article and good to hear that it made you remember your good old days as a student. As we grow we take up new things and generally tend to forget the old due to high load of information. What I feel is these sort of articles act to refresh our mind and makes it rewind in time.

Good to know you are a coin collector. Try to collect as many as you can of different countries as you do not know which one will go out of circulation and become rare at what time. At that time you may be if you are lucky sitting on a gold mine. Best wishes and regards.

Money is essential for us to be able to buy our necessities, house and cars.

It is amazing that in those days, those things are being bartered in lieu of the non-existent yet paper bills and coins.

It is more amazing also that now, even with the use of a plastic card called credit card one can purchase through store even the most expensive things.

But with these credit cards a lot of people are now buried in debt to these credit cards because they didn’t know how to handle it well.

money is money even if changed we value what it could really bring us its not really vital what it looks like, also if the money will not bring anything then we would not care abuot it, really thanks for your post nice to remember that and the money values also, but sure humanity is more importana i do not want to sound money addict or so, with that said i have to say that it looks your work is from the heart as the title reflect it, thanks again for let us read it and sharing

Indeed, Demonetization, inspite of some of the drawbacks in the way it was implemented has been successful in making more people into cashless economy. Many people, especially older ones used debit cards for the first time.
I have used one of the Mobile Wallets to pay to local vegetable groceries, Autowallahs, book stationers etc, and the best advantage of being cashless is that one does not have to worry about change of Rs.1, 5, 10 etc.
Moreover, one can directly get amount transfered to their bank accounts. RBI has to print lesser notes thus checking inflation, and Government’s debt too reduces.
Still, a lot of people have switched back to cash for smaller transactions, and this has to be somehow addressed.
But this is not bad as such, because even in Western countries, especially UK, US etc, smaller transcations are in cash.
Yet, it is good if larger transactions are done electronically to check misuse of funds, especially in Government sponsored schemes, Defence and Infrastructure payments, as you have mentioned.
Black money too gets reduced.

Overall, a big plus for India, but Government needs to be vigilant, because those used to big amounts of black money will try to defame Government and mislead people in different ways.
