No matter how hard you work... No matter how much you make... No matter how much it takes... It is never enough. Let me say that again! It it never enough. You live your whole life to make as much as possible. No matter the cost. Work 3 jobs, work over 60 hours a week. Only to get a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Because you have to have your own bathroom. You have to have the best of everything. You talk about your dream house. Yet you can't even afford to fix up the house you live in. Talk about how many people are going to leave you money when they die. Why? To talk about how rich you'll be. Here I am. Scraping by. In a cheap apartment. Barely afford to get groceries. But you know it's no skin off my back. I have something way better than being rich. At least I have a place to live and a job. I have a girlfriend who I would die for. Some things are better than money. I am glad I know this. I am glad I don't run in circles for it. Life is what you make it. If that's what you make it about, that's okay. I choose to believe there is more to life than that.
