Blind Trust

aha moment jae m rang May 19, 2025

How do you know if what you’re trusting is the right thing?

Ever felt frustrated working hard, depositing into acclaimed financial institutions yet your grocery bill continues to climb and your portfolio is far from keeping pace?  Or have you followed professional health advice only to end up sicker, more confused, or reliant on yet another prescription?

We’ve been conditioned to trust people in white coats, suits and with letters after their names. We assume they know best so we hand over our health, our money and ultimately our power without question.

What’s the danger?

Personal story: our company had a record-breaking year at the onset of the 2008 recession.  I did what I knew to do to move money into all the right places, celebrated treasured clients and laid the groundwork for continued success. But the bottom fell out of the economy.  I found out first-hand what happens when you trust a system without understanding. It cost me dearly and I wasn’t alone.

That crash erased over $16 trillion in household wealth (about $53k per person). The stock market lost more than half its value. Millions of jobs, homes, and retirements were wiped out. Banks were bailed outs exceeded $700 million, the stock market dropped by $10 million and over 10 million Americans lots their homes.

The “invisible hand” stealing your money isn't theft—it’s inflation. Why do people continue to trust a system that is failing them?

Aha! ~ Blind trust isn’t trust—it’s programming.

We’ve been trained—quietly and consistently—to trust authority. Not based on truth, but on appearance. Position. Presentation.

True freedom happens when you shift from blind trust to informed sovereignty.

It doesn’t mean we stop seeking experts…it means we learn enough to choose the right ones.
We ask better questions. Read more than headlines. We follow the money. We use common sense.

It sounds rebellious to stand up to authority but it’s not rebellion, it’s responsibility.

At a recent convention on gold and silver, I was reminded of just how asleep most of us are to financial truth. We keep our money in banks without asking: Is this really safe? We trust the system, even as it quietly devalues our savings.

Maybe it’s time to trust ourselves enough to dig deeper. To question the narrative. To protect what we’ve earned. To unlearn and relearn; for instance, did your financial planner advise you that gold and silver don’t inflate?  Mine neither but I know better now.

The government is not mom and dad. Institutions can (and do) make bad decisions. And if we don’t take ownership of our own learning, we’re left to deal with the fallout.

Maybe it’s time to own something they can’t print.

 

Be the one ahead of the crowd and grab a membership to buy, sell and share gold and silver in fractional amounts.  https://7kmetals.com/ahumanapproach  is a great start.  I’ll show you how.
