Well, erm...I don't really know how to start this blog, I want to discuss a certain subject with you, money. Money makes the world goes round. Poor people want it, rich people want more of it. I'm right aren't I? The lengths people will go to get money. Some spend years and years training, and learning, and believe me I know that is more than been about the money, but would they really do a job they didn't get paid for? If life was free, I'm sure many people would, but you have to pay for everything. Living a free existance is impossible. So these people spend years and years training. Long hours, little money, sleepless nights, to strive for a great career one day. They work hard to earn their money, and good on them. Then we have people who see this route to hard. All them hours, and though they may end up with a good wage, there are easier ways to make even better money. So why not commit a crime somewhere? I mean we all need to live. These people may not have the time and resources to spend all them years studying. So they take the easy option. There is risk, and it has its own price to pay. If they get away with it think of the rewards though? That is of course if they can fight with their own morals on the topic. That they can sleep easy at night. That they don't catch the bug for easy money and keep doing it, more and more, until one day the inevitible happens and they get caught.
Money has never being an issue for me. It's never driven me in what I want to do. It's never made me think I have to do certain things. My family are pretty comfortable. They've made me comfortable. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Not to be driven about money, because if I'm honest it's made me lazy. I don't NEED to earn money to live. I am secure in the way I am now. Now I know I sound pathetic, but hear me out. I have friends that do the 9-5 thing. I have friends who go and study and have part time jobs to get by. I see all that kind of thing, and I have so much respect for them. Going out and working hard for what they want. It makes me feel like that criminal. That gets the easy money, and does very little for it. I don't actually know where I'm going with this. I guess I can't believe money drives the world so much.
I used to be silly with money. When I was young I would spend silly money. Now and again, I still do. I have changed alot since then, and I do try to value money for what it is. I had an argument with a friend recently about money, and maybe this is what made me write this blog. I was discussing with them a shopping trip I had recently been on, and the amount of money I had spent. My friend though the amount I spent was terrible, and I should consider those less well off than me, and feel bad for spending that amount of money. Now I considered this, and I understood the point my friend was trying to make, but why should I apologise for having the capabilities to spend such money? The amount to me was not a big deal. I mean it was quite alot of money, I do know that, but to me it wasn't that much. I really hope I don't sound like a spoilt brat, I just don't see why I should feel bad for the position I am in. I do feel bad for not earning the money myself though. So I'm off in a few weeks to earn it the hard way. Train, train, train. I guess it should be good for the soul. I tell you, it's amazing how people change with you, when money comes into the equation!
