Run on the Bank

October 10, 2008 · No Comments

I love this clip in Its a Wonderful Life where Jimmy Stewart talks to people panicking during a run on the bank. The people did not realize what their money was doing - that it is was invested in other families, other people’s homes and businesses, etc. He was able to calm them down and ends the day with a liquidity of $2.00 which is enough to keep his bank open. From there it grows to small town prosperity.

Our money does a lot more than just comfort us. It is the seed for things around us to grow. Something to think about in these times.
