I dare say without a shadow of a doubt my preference would be for having tons of the stuff that grants me the "wherewithal to act":

The English word finance comes originally from the Latin "finis" meaning an end; and latterly the modern sense of the word comes from the French verb "finer" meaning "to end or settle", and the French noun "fin" meaning "an end". The pecuniary connotations of the word "finance" derive from its later sense of the activity of "settling a debt". So, when a debt was settled, it was "finished". By 1494 the word "finance was used more particularly to refer to a person who was required "to pay a ransom". So, a kidnapping would be "finished" when the ransom was paid. In raising ransoms, for example, the ransom needed to release Richard I from imprisonment in Austria in the 12th century, required the levying of taxes and borrowing or taking money from a number places: in that sense, the ransom itself had to be financed. By 1555, the term "finance" was used to refer to the "fineness" of gold - at that time the most important measure of money. The worth of gold was linked to its quality, or its "fineness". By 1866 a more familiar meaning (to modern ears) of the word "finance" had developed: that is, "to furnish with finances and to find capital for" an activity. So in discussing finance we are concerned with using finance so as to achieve a goal: that is, the wherewithal to act so as to make a goal possible. As in the Latin meaning of "finis", the role of "finance" is to finish or complete an objective by providing the monetary wherewithal to do it.

Multiple choice question, above passage was:

(b) copied from somewhere because Asterix is such a lazy bum;

(c) none of the above.

...above passage was:

(a) written by Asterix because he is such a smart ass;
I did a quick search, and couldn't find it anywhere else on the internet; so I guess you must have written it yourself, based on what you've learnt before, of course.

By the way, besides being "smart", are you also good at martial arts, like the guy in your avatar?

Correct answer is (b), but the author who wrote made entensive references to the Oxford Shorter English Dictionary, so he also copy from other people. By the way, that dictionary is not short at all, these English people! I have a crush on this So-So-No!
