Hey Alertties, I’m back with another post. This time we’re going to be discussing a topic everyone loves, money. Now money is essential in our lives, but do we love money too much? Are we forgetting what life is all about? Well my answer is yes and I’m going to be breaking down some examples of us as a society valuing money a little too much.
Let’s face it, everyone needs money too survive, but that’s not the only thing we need too live a great life. A lot of things that we learn in life, happen when we are at our lowest points or without money. If we learn valuable lessons at low points in our lives, why is having money so important? The answer is it’s not.
We insult each other first by saying “you broke bitch” or “you broke ass dude” as if that should hurt someone’s feelings more than whatever you were arguing about in the first place.
Compared to the rich and famous people in this world that we all look at, WE ARE ALL BROKE. It makes no sense for us too make each other feel bad about our finances. We have to stop acting like being broke is the worst thing in the world.
How can you experience the essence of being humble if you have it all? When you have it all, you loose your hunger for gaining more of life’s fruits and vegetables. You may not even have it all, but your mind will program itself too make you believe it because of all the materials right in front of you. You can never stop gaining knowledge, but you’ll think you know everything, so what’s the point in reading. Finding out something knew about someone, something, or yourself is one of the free joys in life, but if we wake up with just money on our mind, we loose focus of all life’s free pleasures.
Life itself is a blessing and we weren’t created to just fixate about money.
We are all guilty of glorifying money too much. Don’t get me wrong, being ambitious and driven are great qualities, but when your only end goal is too make money, your not learning any lesson. There’s nothing you can teach yourself or someone else. We drive ourselves crazy over money. Whether we have it or we don’t, it’s temporary.
Money is an object and a currency meaning it’s just a piece of paper that people trade in to get something material in exchange. If you need something material, then you have to spend money too get it. Plain and simple. Whether you have a lot of it or not, it all runs out. It’s all going too go away and get spent on something. We have all run out of money at some point. What’s more important is the choices you choose too make too get it.
We make money rule over everything. We make each other feel bad if we don’t have a lot of money, but what if we just don’t want to waste our time for money or lose our self respect/dignity over money.
For example: some people have money because they work really hard all day everyday, but they may in the process be sacrificing time spent with their kids (which you can’t get back). Others might work hard all day at a job they hate, but before you know it they are abusing drugs just too cope with the stress of it all.
Some people might have money because they’re a little less independent and they have a rich man or woman supporting them (which really isn’t their money). Some people may have too much independence and might prostitute for money, which is very dangerous and involves giving too much of yourself up too strangers. Don’t assume that people with a lot of money make better life choices and decisions too keep it.
People with no money could not have it because they spent it all on their kids. They could have spent it all on their rent and bills. They could be saving too move into their dream home. They could have invested in themselves and started a business. Don’t just assume that people that are “broke” are irresponsible. That’s just lame.
It’s easy for people too insult each other over money, but at the end of the day we can’t let money dictate how we carry ourselves and how we treat each other. Insults don’t help anyone, rich or poor. We can easily fix this type of toxicity, by doing things for free like : being kind, giving compliments, knowing our worth in any kind of work place, spending money on necessary things like bills, being less materialistic, and most of all helping others, no matter how big or how small.
Especially because the holidays are coming up, it’s so much pressure too spend money on specific things that isn’t really necessary. It’s so much pressure too sacrifice spending time with your family or working on the holidays. Situations like this shouldn’t even be a question. The holidays are a special time too spend with your family. Don’t go broke spending all your money on presents or just focusing on that holiday pay. Money isn’t everything, time and love is more important and more precious.
Thank you Alertties for reading this post. I had too talk about money because it’s something essential but it’s not what living is all about. We all need too realize that this life is precious and it needs too be spent making a difference. Make the money, don’t let it make you! Don’t forget too like this post and leave a comment! Thanks again for reading and I’ll see you in the next post.
