How can money be such a powerful enabler, yet create so much pain and destruction? How can money bring immense happiness to some but sadness and despair to others? The richest celebrities are also the most miserable. Money doesn't fulfill you yet it is impossible to live without it. We work hard to earn it but there never seems to be enough.
I am not rich by any means, but I have what I need- a roof over my head and all my basic needs are met. I was fortunate to learn at a young age about personal finances, how to save more than I spend and never carry a credit card balance.
I recently had an argument with a loved one about money and it made me feel about 2 inches tall. I would never take advantage of anyone's generosity and the mere suggestion of such was a blow to my heart and self-worth. I am independent. I am fair and practical, in all areas of my life including money. I am not stingy, but I am not reckless. I am saving for my goals (the first goal should be complete by this summer, so stay tuned!). I am content with what I have and I don't need to keep up with the Joneses or anyone else.
