Update

Things have been quiet on the Men's Mental Health Channel front - I need to do some work, definitely. But in other news, I have had a lot of time to reflect on the purpose and nature of the channel. One thing I'm very keen on promoting to men is the idea of a debt free life. In most countries, every baby is born in debt. How can that be? Because we are liable for debts incurred by previous generations (looking at you, boomers).

But as individuals, we can live a (relatively) debt free life by eliminating personal debt: paying off credit cards, selling that car you're making payments on for a cheaper one, and considering the everyday decisions you make. Christmas time is a particular challenge for people who feel pressure to go into debt for gifts. It's a challenge to our values.

This community is one of people who appreciate new currencies. For people I care about, I also recommend investigating former currencies that may be future currencies: Gold and Silver.

There's a lot of talk about standing up to the establishment. A debt free or minimal debt lifestyle is a very good way to become far less vulnerable. Merry Christmas one and all!
