Money
Why is it that everything has to depend on money? I can be having a perfectly good day, then realize that I am broke and everything goes bad after that. It seems like having money is the key to happiness, and that is pretty sad.
I’m not even really sure why, but when you have money you are happy and when you don’t your are not. It’s that simple. Not that you have to be rich, although it would be nice, you at least have to have money to pay bills and do the things you need to do during your daily routine. If you don’t have that, you are sad. Right?
It seems so strange to me that this is the case, and I struggle with it a lot. In my perfect world I guess I would just have my place in the world and everything I needed would just come to me. There has to be a way to do it, but I have no idea how. I see people all around me that seem to live life like this. On the other hand I see people all the time that are not living like this. I don’t like it and I want so badly to figure out how to not be sad from it anymore.
So what can one do to overcome this problem? I think that there are many things that can make this somewhat feasable. Living a sustainable lifestyle is a big one. By that I mean living on a budget that is not going to make you broke, and trying to avoid the many things in life that are nothing more then good sales pitches. It’s hard, but it is possible. The only thing that makes this hard is when you miss out on what life has to offer, because you don’t spend money on anything. Being broke (within your budget of course!) with a good feeling about what you have seen and done is a pretty good thing I would say.
In the end there is nothing about money that can make you happier than spending time with friends and family doing things you enjoy. Sometimes remembering that is important when you are having a bad finance day.
