what you get when the school financial offices f*ck you over! Often occurring during the process of taking your arm and/or leg for tuition payment.
symptoms include...yelling, cussing, gasping and then saying WTF? when you open your mail, the strong urge to egg the financial building, cobwebs growing in your wallet, eating ramen noodles for two out of three meals for the day, etc.

(FINANCE) a financial instrument whose value is tied to something else; for example,
* a futures contract (future)
* an option
* a swap
In each of these examples, the value of the derivative is related in some way to the price of something else. When the market price of (say) an ounce of gold goes from $1000/oz to $1050/oz, the return to the owner of 1 oz. of actual gold is 5%. But for the owner of a call option or a future, the return is much, much greater than that.
A derivative can be used to multiply risk AND potential profits to speculators; but it can be used for the counterparty to minimize risk by locking in prices, or by hedging against risk.

A person who learns about money only to find that people make random emotional decisions. The sacrificial lamb of the urban jungle. When financial markets are up, even the most ignorant advisor looks like a hero. When markets are down, the most professional and savvy advisor will be trash talked, fired and sued.
Hey, how come you're driving that piece of crap car?
I was a financial advisor in 2008.
Hey, who's that guy in the Mercedes?
That was a financial adviser who retired in 2007.

Financial Terrorists can be one person, group of people,small medium or large corporations that can get the government to not make laws or regulations to protect the general population from their greed and corruption
When Goldman-sachs prevented our government from regulating derivatives, and changed banking laws to under capitalize from leveraging savings from 1:4 to 1:40 or more, Goldman-sachs became "Financial Terrorists" against every non 1%er on earth. These monsters make loans to people, then bet against them, then raise the loan rate until the person defaults on the loan.

The gradual conversion of your wealth and possessions to the government, through taxes, inflation and unjust laws.
Due to financial erosion, I opted to not maintain my property while I scrape up the cash to pay the property taxes.
