#Amortization

Amortization is the sacred art of a company transferring past investments into the future on a ledger, transforming liabilities into faint hope. It dilutes the reality of cash outflows by spreading burdens over long periods, subtly postponing pain before anyone notices. Accountants, like sorcerers, manipulate numbers to gradually extract the agony of investments from everyday life. Yet everyone knows that eventually one must fall into the ledger's hidden trap. If future prosperity is the product of balancing the books, then the true price is always paid by the next generation's cash flows.
