Money can be a very powerful thing for some people.
I love what money can do for me and my family and how I'm able to afford my travels and other hobbies.
But today, and for a couple of months now, I've seen how money can control people.
How people can take advantage of other people just to gain something for themselves. The things they do to manipulate people into lending money to them so that they can play in the stock market. And how they can use friendship as a way to get their way out of not paying on time. I understand and I know the need to borrow money. But for the right reasons - for emergencies and other important matters. Not for gambling in the stock market and consequently burying yourself in debt. And these people are proud of what they're doing, they boast of the supposedly gains they're earning, thinking that people don't know what they are really doing. But people are aware and concerned.
And to take advantage of someone who needs the money more than you? That's something else, even worse, I think.
Do not spend beyond your means. Unless you really need to.
If I could just listen to my i-pod the whole day and be spared from all of these.
