Money, Money, Money!
Nope, sorry, I'm not giving money away, I wish!
At least for the moment, let's be honest. Don't you just feel that money controls us and not vice-versa? Is money the source of our happiness or the root of evil? With the world's economies as they are, has money become the "life-force" of this planet Earth? All this talk about the "credit crunch" -more like a "credit mega bite" to me- does it warrant a re-appraisal of our pockets? Call it sarcasm or what you like, for a second I thought that human beings were the important factor.
Firstly, money does not have a life of its own. It is simply paper: a bank note; cheque or a bank statement. Money is a medium of exchange for goods and services, of giving and storing value. We give "money" its meaning, life, influence and even power, maybe even without realizing it. Money does not walk on its own, we tell it where to go and what to do. Let's dispel this notion that money has its own free-will.
We have a love and hate relationship with money. When there is an ample supply we love it and love everyone. When we are in the "red", we hate it! I know, without money we cannot survive. Yet, for no reason of our own, the quality of life we possess at one moment can be severely altered by causes foreign to ourselves. You may spend a lifetime working hard and in a second all your efforts or rewards simply vanish! How many work so hard for a mere pittance! Think of the millions who cannot access this store of wealth!
If the system isn't working for all, isn't it about time that it did? Now, who can people turn to? How can we make money work for everyone?
Yarm thinks: it's best to save some pennies for a rainy day! Take care... and don't spend too much.
