Poor vs Rich

Hello everyone,

So I have been doing some thinking actually a lot of thinking and sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I was rich or poor?

After watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians; I get so jealous because they have the opportunity to travel and see the world. They don't seem to have financial struggles and everyday it seems that their lives are perfect. I mean how cool would it be to have almost everything you wanted? Most people die without ever having what they really want. I guess I see it as a form of financial security which at the moment I don't have at all. I work two jobs and my family works, and its barely enough to keep our heads above water, but it's never enough to actually do something fun like going to Disneyland. I just hate having to feel incompetent. I was actually looking to find a third job, but between college I just can't do it. I mean probably I can do it, but I will end up as a zombie for the rest of my life and that is no fun. What I really want is to be financially secure for life. But I ask myself the question: can money really buy you happiness? Money can buy you a house but not a home. Money can buy you sex but not true love. Money can buy you a college tuition but not a degree. In my family we are always fighting about money. My aunt is so over her head in money that she bought a BMW just to show it off and it honestly disgusts me. Yet, even though she bought her dream car she is not happy. She is Cruella. She will end up having what she wants but she is not taking any material possessions down to her grave. If someone offered me a billion dollars just for exhaling and turning it into carbon dioxide. I wouldn't take it. Because thinking it over money won't buy me happiness. Money is only a tool. If my parents died; money won't bring them back. If I failed a college class; money won't help me pass. People die over money. It's almost like a form of evil; heck what I am saying it is evil. Money can turn people into an egotist. Money is the root of all evil. People love it and hate it. ( I am so scattered, but it's almost midnight so I have an excuse).

What I really trying to say is that money won't buy you happiness regardless of anything else. I would go on further but I am so exhausted. It's been a long day and writing about money just gives me a massive headache.

Good Night

<3 Jackie
