In IB Music we watched a video about Beethoven. However uninterested in the biography I was, the composer's relationship with a wealthy family intrigued me. Back then, a landed elite was a given, and certain families could look after not only themselves in splendor, but also their friends. I ponder whether it is possible to gain that state of stable status in today's society. It would of course take capital, but that alone would not cut it. It would take investing, but with the current volatile nature of the economy, I do not know the best investment for stability. I would say land, but now that market has collapsed and agriculture is a difficult market to break into and is extravagantly unstable. However, I do not doubt that it is possible to achieve such stability, only that it cannot be so easily kept as it was before.
