Even though I don't I sure as hell act like I do. However I am detirmined to start spending and managing my money more differently. Around my way once people get a job they start buying expensive things and flaunting it. It took for a message my pastor was relaying for me to realize how twisted this was. First off NO ONE has money to blow. No matter how bitter I may sound this is just a mere fact. America is over a trillion dollars in debt so no matter how rich you think you are, if you're living in this country the government will always have ties over your money. Secondly if you are financially advanced, are you using your money morally correct? The bible states: what profits a man to gain the whole world, and lose his soul? ( Mark 8:36 )Which simply means what is the purpose of becomming so wealthy, when in the end you will surely die and no longer be able to enjoy these riches. After dwelling on this thesis I decided to change my lifestyle around, and renovate my motives in life. So many people get caught up in the "Get Rich or Die Trying" set of mind that they forget the true purpose of life. Money is NOT everything and some of the richest people are never even really happy. I'm not saying that you should not aspire to become wealthy or that being broke is fun, but I do believe there is a thin line between happiness and wealthiness and that people often get them confused. Would you rather be rich and ill, or broke and healthy? I don't know about you but I'd be a pennyless bumb anyday before an illness could claim my life. Even these rappers. Listen to a song and all they rap about is how rich they are! We make it worse running to the stores buying their albums and concert tickets only to hear them brag some more! Thats why I'm detirmined to revaluate my finances before I lose myself.Instead of going to the mall and clubs each weekend with my paychecks I'm gonna start investing in a 401 K, and saving towards my future. There is more to life than money guys. "Stop living for money and start living for life." Missz Mocha_
