Money Monsters
Poisonous paper it is…
Money… if there is one thing I absolutely hate in this God forsaken planet, its money.
Not only do humans love it, worship it, and kill for it, but you freaking NEED it to survive in this day and age.
Every time I get paid, I delve into a deep depression because I know monthly bills and yearly taxes are around the corner. It makes my stomach bile rise and fall in a very uncomfortable fashion. Everything that you do requires money, even if you work to get money you get taxed for working in the first place. YOU CAN NEVER WIN!
At least it feels that way to me.
But what I have to learn is that I had put myself in this situation. I didn’t watch my spending and I was (kinda still am, let’s be completely honest here) so inherently lazy that I just put it all off and racked up some debt. Realize that I am not THAT deep mind you, it just really annoying to work so hard to for money for food, other things, (my other things would be tons of movies, video games, and mounds and mounds of books…) to finally get a check and then realize none of it is yours. It goes to the student loan, the car and health insurance, to taxes, heat, electricity, rent, and the list goes on until you have to still borrow money from someone just to pay back the money you already owe.
If I have learned one thing out of this, it is that there are necessities and those out-rank anything else that is just an extra comfort.
I am still learning and by no means am I someone who knows what she is doing in life. I am just trying, learning, and I am hoping that someday I will be able to live life to the fullest and not have to worry about where the next meal is going to be coming from, will I have enough to get gas, will I have the change to do laundry, and such and so forth.
Something we all desperately need in this economic death trap…
