It has since been established that in truth money is not the root of all evil, but rather a necessary tool of exchange that allows men and woman to trade goods and services and that money is also a tool that can improve the life of anyone who handles it well.

In Zimbabwe, people burn money but it does not light up in flames but rather it multiplies itself.

It is not actually money that is the root of all evil, but the love of money.

Zimbabweans, having learnt to be very resourceful, for the sake of their livelihood, have used the necessity for money to invent and create different ways of making money, to beat the economic recession that threatens their livelihoods.

The economic situation in Zimbabwe is actually not inhibiting for everyone because it is evident that some other people have actually found their fortune in spite of the harsh socio-economic conditions and some of these people have been referred to by local newspapers as, ‘cash barons and cash baronesses’, Money changers are rife and they transact large amounts of cash on the streets of Harare, both local and foreign. It is now not uncommon to find these money changers holding wards of notes in their hands while others prefer to keep the cash stashed in the car boot.

Where else in the world is money burned and instead of going up in flames, it actually multiplies. Evidently, there are many different ways to become wealthy in Zimbabwe today and some people have struck it rich not through the conventional way of building a business, but through unconventional means, which the Zimbabwean people have called burning money. But in reality what really happens when one burns money. Logically, it should go up in flames. But in Zimbabwe, people burn money but it does not light up in flames but rather it multiplies itself.

In the local language, Zimbabweans refer to this as ‘kupisa mari’ and that has been the way of survival for the Zimbabwean population, who have clearly demonstrated the proverb, ‘necessity is the mother of invention” However, the only snag with “kupisa mari” is that even though one’s money miraculously multiplied in one’s bank account, one could not access the cash due to a strict daily withdrawal limit that had been set by the reserve bank governor, which was too measly to even buy a loaf of bread. So after burning money, one could have hoards of money in the bank, which unfortunately one had no access to. This was further confounded by the fact most retail shops do not accept any payments by cheque.

For those people who have constantly watched their money pile being stagnant and not growing into a bigger pile, the book, The Seven Laws of Money, written by Micheal Phillips, is a worthy read for enlightenment because the author, gives readers a deeper understanding of the philosophy of money which will make readers channel energy away from worrying about money to using it and having a healthy, fearless attitude toward money.
