n4hpg Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 In the Bible, it is written that "a workman is worthy of his hire." In other words, pay people who work on your behalf. The amount of work that Stefan does to prepare his lectures is massive. Even with the amount of resources now available on the Internet, putting together a topic and presenting is a lot of work. As I am directly benefiting from this work, I feel an obligation to pay. This is the essence of the market. Nobody forced me to pay. As my wife and I are presently in challenging financial circumstances after my heart attacks and other illnesses pushing me into disability and us into bankruptcy, my generosity towards Stefan is limited. However, a small and monthly amount is being freely given. I believe that it is important for as many people as possible to make a MONTHLY commitment and here is why. The one-time donation is easily forgotten by the giver and is impossible to forecast by Stefan. By we listeners giving a regular, monthly donation, we enable Stefan to predict his cash flow and to use the funds in a structured way such as hiring associates to help him. For us the givers, the monthly note in our payment is a gentle reminder that we are invested in this great work. Of course, if you cannot give or you can give only 1 time, this is a matter for your own heart. For those who just haven't gotten around to it yet, please join me. It will make you feel good as I now feel good seeing the notice from Paypal. Bill 8
Jessica Rose Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Bill, I'm sorry to hear about your current hardships, and I wish you and your wife much health and happiness. Regarding your post, I agree completely. I only very recently discovered Stefan (by viewing one of his Brexit conversations with Paul Joseph Watson on YouTube) and this led me to want to explore his body of work further. So I watched a few more videos, then found my way here and listened to a few excellent podcasts. With a growing realization of just how massive an undertaking this is for him and the immense quantity of quality information and insight he is putting out, I immediately felt as though setting up a monthly donation was not just the right thing to do, but that I was actually quite happy to do so, despite being on a rather fixed income myself. There are only two things I regret: that I cannot contribute more at present, and that I didn't discover Stefan 10+ years ago.
