The dollar is weakening and inflation is kicking our butts, but the kindness economy is always going strong. 

There may be a recession looming, like a house floating above our heads in a tornado, but I have great news to counter that.

Love, compassion and respect  – kindness currency – is more valuable than any time in modern market history, and it can get you rich, quickly.

It’s not a crypto, and it’s certainly not a scam. 

Read until the end for a four-step challenge to get you rich this week 💸

How to Get Rich 💸

What you can buy with kindness is limitless: the good favor of others, exclusive access and privilege, the favor of God and the Greater Good ™️and overall positive stimulation in your daily life and your network.

It should make intuitive sense: if you give someone something of value or kindness, they will feel inclined to return the favor.

That means giving kindness can get you the things you want. 

The things money can’t buy.

Want to get into an exclusive club? Try being kind to members and staff.

Looking to make more friends? Be kind to strangers and acquaintances.

Want happiness not sold on shelves? Be kind.

That opportunity, connection, or dream ticket could be just one kind gesture away.

That’s as economical as it gets, if you ask me. 

Much like Visa, kindness is widely accepted in pretty much every country (except France apparently?)

But for real, kindness works like magic.

It’s akin to being a snake charmer.

Best of all, kindness works bidirectionally, meaning you can get “cash back” from anywhere you shop.

Chase does something like this, but you get like, 1.5% in return for your spending, or something lame like that.

Kindness, for an unlimited time only, returns 100% of your spending with all vendors who qualify.

This is one of my favorite commercials ever, and it embodies the cyclical nature of kindness. “And it all comes back to you …”

Be kind to those in your community, and surely it comes back to you.

Be kind to a place you frequent, and watch it thrive before your eyes.

Be kind to yourself, and you’ll feel good enough to throw it back out into the universe.

Dividend reinvestment. What an awesome incentive.

Being kind is like being a stock broker or investing wizard.

Ask the dudes who move around big money, and they’ll tell you, spending money is the way to make it.

Hoarding the money, and panic-selling at every perceived setback is the way to get more of those losses compounded onto your account and psyche.

Take some nice risks, and you’ll see maximum returns, some way or the other.

In 2025, we like to treat our own kindness like it’s going scarce.

Like there’s a pool of it in the sky, and if we aren’t careful to conserve, the drops will evaporate before we get to use them when it’s really important.

While it might feel like the world is hardening and there isn’t enough “cash” to keep us afloat, the reality is that kindness is something you can conjure at any time and any place, infinitely.

The United States literally invents money out of thin air (see below) when it decides that the economy would benefit from it. 

Why shouldn’t you do that with the currency burned into you at birth?

Kindness, when spent and used liberally, is the currency that brings you peace, liberation and sustainable happiness.

With that in mind, there should be a constant, flowing stream of positivity and jubilance pouring into the places and people you care about.

The places you love!

And why not? With such a depravity of wellbeing in the social economy, (we all feel how emotionally broke people are) why not stimulate it with a little love and care?

It all comes back to you, like a guarantee on a life insurance policy –  or something like that.

Enough with the metaphors — you get it — love and kindness works like a big face Benjamin bill that never splits for change.

You should play the world like Monopoly when it comes to conquering with kindness, and I’m going to show you how to dominate.

There I go with the metaphors again …

Now that you have the currency visual, let’s talk about how to get you rich.

Look, I won’t guarantee a Bugatti in your garage, but you will feel a similar fullness when you’re done with this checklist.

Blink and you’ll miss just how valuable the returns of kindness are in your life.

Embrace the moments, cherishing the clarity and levity you’ll feel, and trust me — you’ll be rich in spirit come next Wednesday.

Four Steps To Get Rich: Week 1 📆

1. Buy a snack or a meal for someone you know is hungry.

3. Smile to five strangers this week. 

You need to spend your kindness with other people and places for you to get rich.

Yes, that means talking to people, face to face.
