MONEY RAMBLE...

Summer time has finally hit us, Christmas is close and yet another year is nearly over, before we felt it had even begun. A lot has happened this year, the world economy has crumbled into turmoil, a new President has taken his seat in the White House and a pop legend has died. With everyday life only getting busier for most, what can you say you have achieved this year? The majority wouldn’t have time to think about it, let alone have the time to read this blog. We work all our lives for one thing… money, at what point do we make enough to know or feel as though we have achieved something?..



I can’t really say Im not money hungry, but I do sometimes find myself thinking about the future, where will I be in 15 years time? What job will I have? How much money will I have made? These questions are what drive us and keep us working endlessly. No one likes the idea of being “stuck in a rut” and not having the things they want in life. But at what point can we stop, sit back enjoy ourselves? When does the quest for the best end? There are millions of people in the world that live in third world countries that would have no idea what a plasma screen looks like, let alone know what it is. Yet these people live their lives happily with the bare minimums and even in some in the poorest of conditions. Whilst we would not survive 2 hours without twitter, Facebook or our IPhones.

We as a human race have one thing in common, everybody at some point in their life wish’s for some kind of eternal happiness. For some eternal happiness is a spiritual “thing” or state of mind, whilst for the majority of people I encounter or know it’s believed to be a point in your life that is reached where you have everything you want, and then some.

It is now, in this day and age our instinct to want more, we will never return back to a simple life of no material “things”. I can admit I wouldn’t be able to live with out my Macbook, iphone or my car, which Im sure most of you would agree, but it is depressing to think; the chase to be richer will never be over. For the rest of our lives we will be hunting one thing, money. Where there is an opportunity for the green bills to be made, we will take any means necessary to exploit it. It will be the death of the majority of us and it will ruin families and lives. Money is the number one addiction in our world and nobody can stop it.

So whilst we search, work and hunt for the next pay check, remember their once upon a time was more to life. Just because society today is built around world banks doesn’t mean they have to rule our lives. Plan what you want in life, work for it, get it and be satisfied with yourself and what you have accomplished.

…We warned you about the ramble….
