JessiccaAre you a slave to money?
September 23rd 2006 13:05
When I started blogging, I never thought of all these until recently I realised how this world has changed many people to money hungry, power hungry beings that leads themselves to a certain destruction.
And this came to my mind with these simple question for everyone out there:
1. Have you ever have the day when you looked into your wallet and your bank account and you find that it is almost empty and you are just unsure how the heck it happened?
2. Do you have that problem that you swipe your credit card so much until you found fear in your eyes at the end of the month when the bill comes?
3. Have you started realising you franticly searching for sites online that allows you to "work from home" and "earn online" from those sites that floods your mailbox with "Paid-to-Click" ad emails and you get paid peanuts?
4. Has any opportunities like MLM and Direct Selling attracts you so much that you can almost join every one of them because of the promised returns you'll have if you put some money into it?
I, for one, is one of the above category. I do not really "swipe my card to death" kind of person but I knew this was happening when I started buying groceries using the credit card, especially recently when I had to buy medication lotions from the pharmacy, getting some grocery done for dad and swipping that ultimate big hospital bill when my mom was discharged recently.
Then I looked into my bank account today. IT WAS EMPTY, LITTERALLY EMPTY! And I still have some credit cards to settle. How the heck happened?
If it wasn't from my friends' help to collect some love offering for my mom's hospital bills I would have have a huge negative debt... well, I still have a debt of thousands but heck to be litterally empty in my bank account 2 weeks before salary time is really a frightening thing. And I just swiped my card to get a pair of shoes as mine was badly broken.
Category 3 is an obvious one when I started being exposed to "Internet Earning" last year when I started searching "Work from home" in Google. And now, I have thousands of junk mails in my mailbox that I still try to click and try to earn that 1 cent, 2 cents worth of a few month's effort just trying to get some money for myself.
Category 4 was a nasty business when some friends of mine dragged me over to see some "potential opportunities" but I am stuck with one side business which isn't really MLM crap that I feel like I am working in a charity rather than an extra income business.
Up till this moment, I try my very best to overcome financial difficulties and I see that our society demands a lot of issues that would drag money into the picture. We are so tuned to the societies fast pace that money is no longer a want but a need that we have no choice but to franticly search for an extra income to get by our daily lives.
What about you? Are you becoming a slave to money just because you try to get what you want or just being sucked into this horrid society where money is a huge issue in our lives and we just can't run away from it anymore?

Try not to... it is a nasty business and you will end up having a hard time getting out of it, that is one thing I can guarantee about.

Money isn't everything but then again poverty really sucks.
The sad truth is that there is only a few ways to get money.
You can steal it.
You can marry it.
You can inherit it.
You can win it.
Or you can earn it.
Then all of sudden it can vanish with out a reason.

Money is not made to bound onto you, I realised that no matter how much you plan to save and pass it down to your next generation.
It is all depend on whether you are truly blessed with that ability to save, or else something just comes up and your hard earn cash vanishes.
Yet what I learned lately was what made our money vanished suddenly is not because of luck and stuff, it is about what we have done to come to that point. If you aren't able to control yourself for shopping, for instance, when you suddenly realised that you really have an amount put aside and you actually have the power to spend, your weakness will crip into you and viola! Your money is gone!
Inheritance, to me, is a dangerous business if your stomach is not strong enough to regenerate income because all you will do is just spend it. LOL...
In a Chinese saying,"Wealth can never pass 3 generations" which is relatively true.

The more credit cards they have, the more they become slaves!
