POOR MEN

Poor men want to be rich....Rich men want to be king...

Ahh.... the pursuit of happiness... or at least what people perceive as happiness.

Unfortunately money becomes our barometer, or at least it does for most.
Without knowing it money becomes the driving force for most of your decisions at work as well as in your personal life.

It shouldn't...but it does.

You worry that you will not have enough to pay the bills or get what you want. Some let it even determine if they should have children and when. Again...it shouldn't but it does.

It puts some people in positions at work that they do not like but they say to them selves that they need to suck it up because they need the money or that promotion.
 Each time we make concessions or make decisions solely based on money we lose a little bit of ourselves. A little bit of our individuality.

I guess part of the answer is to simply want less.
 Try to stay true to yourself and make the right decisions and I keep help to believe that in the long run you will feel better about yourself and your life.

I know a person that once said that his whole purpose of life was to make as much money as humanly possible....really?
That is what you want your purpose of life to be?
