Gimme Gimme Gimme
"Money is the root of all evil" which is what many people say. In my country,money seems to be THE most important thing in life. Everyone works so hard at their jobs, trying to earn as much as they can that they hardly have the time to enjoy their money. It has come to a point where people are not having babies 'cos they claim its too expensive. True, our standard of living is high, very high in fact. A small apartment here could buy you a nice house in Australia. But if we all stop and think, maybe we don't need that second car, maybe our kids don't need tuition 4 times a week,maybe we don't need to live in a condominium.
This whole concept of making as much money as we can doesn't agree with me. Now, don't get me wrong, I do save for a rainy day. But I feel that our focus in life shouldn't be about money. In the "Land of the Wealthy"where I live, few people seem to share my views.
A penny for your thoughts?
