The Money Trap: Debt, Interest, and the Math That Doesn’t Work

Modern money isn’t broken by accident — it’s strained by design.

In this episode of Everything’s an Illusion, Amethyst and Mavic break down how debt-based money actually works, why interest guarantees that total debt can never be fully repaid, and how that imbalance quietly shows up in everyday life long before it’s officially acknowledged.

No predictions.

No panic.

No apocalyptic timelines.

Just the mechanics — and the warning signs people already recognize: working more for the same life, debt that stops feeling temporary, prices rising without added value, and “temporary” fixes that never seem to end.

This episode isn’t about when a system collapses.

It’s about why the math eventually stops lining up — and how people feel it before it’s admitted.
