Should money expire such as if Bill Gates doesn't spend his money in 20 years then goes down to 0?

Answer 1

Get job Snowflake rather than whining how everyone owes you.

Answer 2

Only if Warren has her way.

Answer 3

Shut up little girl.

Answer 4

It does expire, in the sense that there is a constant never ending inflation, so the worth of your 1 dollar bill is less as time passes by. In the past you could have bought plenty of things with it, now you can buy very little with it, and in the future even less.

That is one of the main reasons why making business is better than saving money, as the money not used is losing value every second.

Answer 5

How does expiring money help anyone??  What evil things is it doing sitting in the bank, or for that matter Microsoft stock??  You realize that money in the bank just doesn't sit there.  It's been loaned out to buy houses, or business, or to buy cars, etc.  

I don't have money in the bank (for 20 years).  But I do in my 401k and/or IRA for 20+ years.  It's for my retirement.  And I'll bet it's not only me that's doing this.  Should this money expire also??   

Answer 6

Why would you want money to have a shelf life? What about a billionaire taking his money and building new freeways with it? It's the HUMANS that have a shelf life, not the money.

Answer 7

That would be problematic because his net worth isn't padding a mattress somewhere.  Most of his net worth is in shares of Microsoft.  It's not real until he sells it.

Answer 8

Microsoft just keep making money 💷 for him
