Money Please

You know, I'm not one to disagree with well-known phrase, "Money can't buy happiness".

That's true... but let me just say, it sure does help!!

See, when I have money in the bank, I feel less stressed. I know I'm not limited to eating

ramen that I'd been saving in the cupboard for when I knew I'd be uh... poor.

Now- I'm living at home for a little while, so I'm fortunate enough to not have that specific problem.

But when people go around saying that money doesn't matter, that it's just material,

I think to myself, "Oh so they don't care to have money. To feel secure financially, yada yada yada.

Lies. Lies, lies lies lies lies."

Why do people work? Why do they strive to better themselves and rely on getting promotions?

Why do we go to school? To educate ourselves, get degrees, graduate, and (drum roll please)

GET A GOOD-PAYING JOB! Why do we do all this and go through all these troubles?

Oh you know, to be smarter, more social people... No.

We do it so that in the future, for those who are fortunate enough, we can make big bucks.

People WANT money. When you have money, you don't have to worry about buying the cheapest

brand of bread, but you can buy the healthy, whole-grain, delicious kind.

Yeah, we all know what I'm talking about.

 I just wish I was rich.

I wish I didn't have to worry about prices, funding, gas money, etc.

I'm obviously not working at the moment, but I have my job when I go back.

So I'm going a good 2 months without a paycheck. It's nice to be relaxing at home,

but it sucks when I look at my bank account and I'm down to the minimum.

I'm blessed with loving parents who are willing to take full care of me at the moment financially.

So I'm not stressing right now, just when I move back I know I'm going to be b-r-o-k-e.

I just wanna splurge on whatever I feel like.

I'm not money-hungry... but I am determined to feel secure when I'm older when it comes to this issue.

So- I'm gonna do what I gotta do to make that positive outcome of being at least comfortable.

Ok- well hopefully VERY comfortable...

please and thank you.
