How do you value Money?

I hope this blog’s intentions are debated they way I intended the blog to be. This blog isn’t about having money, or being poor; it’s a moral question of “How do you value money”

For me Money is evil, I hate it and it makes people to horrendous things. When I was 16 my Dad was a Millionaire, he was loaded. I am comfortable myself. I never used to be.

But I hate money. It made my Mum and Dad split up. I hate money because it changes nice people into “Keeping up with the next Door neighbour” type of people. “They got double glazing, we must get treble glazing” This is how money works wish some

Our world is FUCKED because of money, there is NO argument you can throw at me to sway me on this one. It is about Money and Power our World. So if we are to speak in a Moral way, Money is a hateful thing that can cause hatred and worse, people will becomes Evil for a few pounds/Dollars/Euros

But we all need some. I know a person who had NOTHING once, he then had it all, and killed himself, and the money ruined him. If you are not born into REAL MONEY it will and can ruin you. I have some money. I am careful with it. But I made a vow to Dawn that I would give her a roof over her head and feed our kids, I kept that promise, same as most Men do.

I waste money, I am terrible with it. This month I bought a £400 Laptop and a £300 Samsung Tablet. Sheer stupidity, because I did not need either, because I live in pain, I often spend to make me pain free for a few hours, that is all it does, gives me a few hours of pain relief because my mind is all focused on my “New thing” You should have seen me when I got my 62 Inch TV! I was like a child. My mate Davie has a bigger TV and he is a bastard for it (Joking if you are reading Dave, lol)

In a world fast running out of the resources needed to keep the people on it alive I wonder if these rich greedy bastards will eat their money when there are no fish left in the sea and nothing left to eat, as this is the way it is going. I grew up with a picture, my Dad had it my whole childhood. It was this one here below, I can’t believe I found this, I grew up seeing this ever day

As I was a kid and my Dad would throw £10 at me most days I often thought “That is Ironic Dad” but I guess as I got older and he got older we both talk about it now and I get it now. He wasn’t a Money greedy man; he did actually work for it. It was what he did when he had it, but that is another blog.

I know some people sit at their PC and complain they are poor. Ahh, now wait. Sit at a PC, Online and say they are poor. You see the Irony there. If you are so poor, don’t have internet, cut your cloth to suit your needs would be something someone else might say, NOT ME! I am paraphrasing here, but your Government, I know mine in the UK will tell us this. You have the internet, a roof, food, so you have enough, while they go and do illegal oil and arm’s deal’s and make money WHILE IN OFFICE. How fucked up. Go check Dick Chayne and George Bush and Halliburton and try not to be angry. I know how much my Country makes because of our Oil fields.

This here is fucking poor, an Iconic picture of the reality of what money has done to us as a species, it is wrong, it is backwards, the WORLD did live  aid 30 years ago, each year the UK alone raises $100M to help Africa, I know other nations do also. We see the odd clip of how it helps, but BILLIONS have been raised, TAX FREE to give to  Africa, why are we still giving when, for example, The USA just gave a Muslim Country $1Billion in Aid? Backwards yes? At the same time as my country take disabled benefit from EVERYONE, Even ex service men and woman. And the USA clamps down on food stamps. Something is VERY wrong with Money I hope you agree. Yeah we need it, but be careful what you wish for, if you are happy and managing, why fix something that is not broken. I know too many stories where money has ruined a person or a family, being happy is being happy. I have seen people who are unhappy, were given money, and then realised the lack of money was not the reason they were unhappy, they were just unhappy. Money may “may” give you peace of mind, but it won’t make you happy if you are not. There you get smart people who come across money and they use it with wisdom and change many lives.

LET’S DEFINE BEING POOR HERE

Next time you sit at your table to eat while watching TV ask yourself a simple question, what makes you happy, your money, or your family, me? I would sleep in a box in the street with my Family. Money is there, big deal, take it, I will still smile. I fucking do hate these bastard bankers who rob us all blind and then we bail them out with paying Tax, we pay tax on everything apart from breathing, I often wonder when that Tax will start. So how do you value money? Simple Question

More Love, Less Hate

Does money make you happy?

 

 

I was born into a fairly wealthy family, most of the money came from Criminal activity, we are talking the mid 1970’s here, as a kid I thought having money was normal, and good as I got whatever I wanted, no questions asked, I wanted it? I got it

Now as an Adult with a few pennies in the bank accounts I want for nothing, I can go for milk and buy a Laptop, see> http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/2013/05/31/went-to-the-shops-for-milk-yesterday/ I did this last week, went for milk, spent £400 and forget the milk, lol

I have enough money so my kids don’t have to work, but I told them, you need to work, I could lose all my money in a heartbeat with a wrong move or a wrong decision. So they work hard, they give their mum £50 a week each for their keep or dig money as we call it here, that £50 we don’t need, but my son’s need to know the value of going out and earning their own money

Does money make you happy? I would say no, I have had no money once, when I got money it made me happy for a while, but then the fad wears off, having unlimited funds to do buy any shit you want wears off very fast. Sure we don’t have to worry about bills, but we have a weekly budget, and we NEVER go past it. We budget £400 a week, this covers everything for the month, food, paying to insure my car, house insurance, internet, SKY TV, other insurances, fuel bills, fuel for my car to run and day to day living for Milk and bread. We go past that £400, we do without, this is a rule we made, and it works

For anyone sitting reading this with £10 to your name wishing you had more money, please trust me, having all the money in the World (I don’t have that much money) comes with its own issues and problems and worries. The more you have the more you worry, trust me. I won’t be the only person on Word Press with money, and I guess others are happy also

One thing that pisses me off is I can’t fly; I can’t get on a plane to holiday. Dawn and the kids go away and I stay at home, but I fear flying that much I just accept it and actually preferred it this way, I don’t want to get over my fear of flying. If I got on a plane, I would go live somewhere else, maybe Monaco in France, buy a boat and just relax for life, but buy a big farmhouse up the North of Scotland appeals to me, same as it did my Dad who went and did it

Money will make sure you can pay a bill, treat yourself to shit you don’t need, but that is it, I am less happy with money than I was when I worked and had no money. Money brings problems. Not many in my family know what I have as I decided to keep it that way. The family members that will read this know.

Be careful what you wish for, money killed my Parents when my Dad became a Millionaire as they were not used to having that much money. If you are born into money you learn to handle it, if money comes your way, it can and will destroy you if you are not clever. We have all heard stories of Lottery winners who are now poor again, they wasted it. For me, every penny is a prisoner, for me money is Evil, people will do and have done awful things to get money, I have seen it, then they get jail for life or blow it all on red at the casino

I would trade all the money in my own persona bank account to take my pain away, and trust me, I have tried
