Money Theory

I was just thinking, and it's late, that when you die, it does not matter how much debt you have (or had). It's really simple; when you die, it does not matter.  In what belief system will you be judged on whether you had this or that many assets and what your credit score was? These things seem so ridiculous to me.  A lot of things do - I feel that I am too far outside of society to subscribe to its tenets.  I guess we have to believe that there are some long-reaching karmic sort of retributions for our financial dalliances in order to maintain social order and keep us from living the feared brutish life of our ancestors.

Any look into history only seems to confirm the meaninglessness of these things.  We have entire civilizations we know nothing about, and yet we are so concerned about our statuses - as if there were more to them than a fleeting moment that really only resonates to ourselves. I feel pressure from my parents to do well, to become successful, but for what? So I can keep the cycle going? Again, I feel outside of society and that I am not a on the circle but a quick offshoot that does not lead anywhere.
