"Divide your fortune into four equal parts: stocks, real estate, bonds and gold coins. Be prepared to lose on one of them most of the time. During inflation, you will lose on bonds and win on gold and real-estate; during deflation, you lose on real estate and win on bonds, while your stocks will see you through both periods, though in a mixed fashion. Whenever performance differences cause a major imbalance, rebalance your fortunes back to the four equal parts.”
Those are the words of the famous German Banker, Jakob Fugger who suggested the four-investment portfolio. The Fugger family inspired me to think of a Family Banking AKA Joint Account where the money is being shared by two or more entities.
I call Family Banking, “Die Drei Hunde Bank”, it is German for “The Three Dogs Bank”. Three Dogs represent a type family each – parent, children, and siblings. I got the idea from the Fairytales, “Tinder box” and “the Three dogs.”

The following words:
1. Pooled Funding A.K.A One Wallet Economy
These three words have one thing in common, the money is being shared by two or more entities. Family Banking is quite similar to the Sibling partnership, which I believe it is a great idea for your family members. I will use the McCallum Family and their community as an example in this blog post.
Family Banking to me, is more than just a business ownership between the family members, it is also a way of sharing money among the parents and children like the One Wallet Economy.
As the Amish Proverb on family values says:

A happy home is more than a roof over your head, it’s a foundation under your feet. – Amish proverb [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.pinecraft.com/blog/a-happy-home-is-more-than-a-roof-over-your-head-its-a-foundation-under-your-feet/] https://yahwehssong.wordpress.com/2011/08/04/amish-proverbs/ https://blackforestproject421.blogspot.com/2023/05/family-value-quotes.html |
MY THOUGHTS:
The McCallums' roadside stall – Springfield Farm Fresh Produce, is their main source of income. For example,
They spend only $60 each week at Woolworths for 10 people (buying essentials like toilet paper, matches and shampoo. Bananas, even mandarins, are sometimes bought as a treat). We emerge into the blinding sunlight and onto the front verandah. The smaller children run towards us, squealing. One of the daily highlights has just happened: the mail delivery. We head to the road stall, which is quiet now, but the family is flat out selling produce from December to April. The children are paid 10 per cent of sales for their picking work, Bethany says. "Once a year we get on the bus and go to Launceston to Toyworld or Kmart and we have a really exciting time."

The family that works together, eats together, and prays together, stays together. – Amish Proverb Meet the McCallums, one of Australia's few Amish families Ever wanted to not just slow down, but jump off the grid? A family leaves behind the trappings of the 21st century to lead a simple, pious life in rural Tasmania.

The McCallums must have followed the Ordnung Geldschrank way of budgeting their money. Similar to the Japanese Konohana Family, an accountant explained about their One Wallet Economy:
This is everyone’s money. Money is an expression of our own hearts. In the world today, there are many misfortunes involving money. Here, people live supporting each other. If people’s hearts become one, it is natural that money also become one and is shared by everyone. Everyone can live happily with less money than if they owned it individually. This is one wallet economy. – Accountant of the Konohana Family
Through the McCallum Amish Family and the Konohana Family, I strongly recommend Family Banking, where the money is shared among the family members. As John Templeton said:

“A Family Bank is a
strategy to keep wealth in your family and keep it growing… from generation to generation.” https://prosperitythinkers.com/infinite-banking/family-banking-101/]

When families save, they can get through emergencies like a bad harvest or a medical emergency. But it's more than that. They can also plan for the future, gradually saving up for a small business or for their children's school tuition. - Jeff Raikes [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/924457]

Just as multiple dogs can live together happily as pets, family members should share money cheerfully. Family Banking is similar to the income sharing in a commune, see this: https://communityfinders.com/commune/
The Pros and Cons of Living in an Income-Sharing Commune
Sep 22, 2016
In the heart of Washington, D.C., seven people live in a single home and pool all of their incomes (which range from upwards of $80,000 to a couple thousand) together to share. The residents of Compersia Commune embrace an ideology that values unpaid labor and disavows capitalism. In this tiny, socialized economy, the collective gets everything you have—which, for some, has been liberating. “We talk a lot and think a lot about trying to transform our relationship to money,” says GPaul, the commune’s founder. “We’re doing all of this work so that worrying about money [and] stressing about money is not so present in our lives.”

Riestererhof: Bauernhof Urlaub in Münstertal Schwarzwald [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.riestererhof.de/] The Black Forest house (German: Schwarzwaldhaus) is a byre-dwelling that is found mainly in the central and southern parts of the Black Forest in southwestern Germany. It is characterised externally by a long hipped or half-hipped roof that descends to the height of the ground floor. This type of dwelling is suited to the conditions of the Black Forest: hillside locations, broad tracks, high levels of snowfall and heavy wind loading. Individual farms, such as the Hierahof near Kappel, which are still worked today, are over 400 years old. The Black Forest house is described by Dickinson as very characteristic of the Swabian farmstead type. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Forest_house |

Very few burdens are heavy if everyone lifts. – Amish Proverb
We do not relegate the pulpit work, or the rest of the church’s teaching, to the lead pastor to handle as much as he can alone and then fill slots when he’s on vacation. We value plurality in teaching, and preaching, just as we value the plurality of elders in decision-making, oversight, and pastoral ministry throughout the week. We begin not by asking how the lead pastor can preach as much as possible, but by asking how we can most effectively teach and preach as a team of pastors.

The lives of the Amish in the US | DW Documentary
Jan 6, 2024
A life just as it was 300 years ago: the Amish in the US. They live according to their own rules, reject technological advances, wear old-fashioned clothing and drive horse-drawn carts. An encounter with the Amish is like traveling back in time.
Originating from southern Germany and Switzerland, the Amish community brought its culture and language to the New World. Deeply rooted in their faith, the Amish adhere to strict codes and reject modern technology. For outsiders, these rules can sometimes appear strange. They traverse their rural communities in horse-drawn carts, but if a distance is too far, they’re allowed to use a shuttle service. They don’t use telephones unless it’s for business purposes and the device is located outside of the home.
Children are expected to help with housework even when they’re attending school. But before they’re baptized as young adults and finally become part of the Amish community, they’re allowed to try what’s called the rumspringa: a period of time when they’re encouraged to behave like regular teenagers - before deciding on which lifestyle they prefer. But those who opt for a conventional, modern existence are exiled. The film sheds light on a fascinating world governed by tradition.

Day 1 Moving Sunday School
Mar 1, 2023
This the detailed video of day 1 of moving the St Marks Sunday School from Bridport to Springfield. This building was used for a multitude of purposes, line and tap dancing, girl guides, cubs, brownies and a school library as well as a Sunday School. It was impressive to watch a team of professionals navigate the tight spaces to set up their gear and move the building without doing any damage. Part 2 will show how it travelled by road through Scottsdale, up Saliers Hill to its new home on the Amish family farm at Springfield.

Mar 2, 2023
This is the second day of the St Marks Sunday School moved to the McCallums Amish farm at Springfield. There was quite a crowd at Saliers Hill waiting to see the wide load negotiate the narrow avenue between the trees.
