Money Money Money

649 million dollars! That's more cheddar than all the cows in Wisconsin could produce, more dough than all the bakeries in Boston could bake, more cabbage than whatever place grows cabbage could grow! If you haven't heard, that's what the lotto has gone up to so far, and I can't say I haven't been tempted to buy a ticket. It's as if the fact that there's so much money up for grabs means my chances will improve. I never even considered the lotto before it got so high, so why now? Greed? Hunger? All of the foods associated with money, can you really be mad at me? Everyone says money wouldn't change them if they ever made it, but how truthful is that statement. 90 percent of Americans live off of what they make, and not what they need. The statistic might not be right, but think about that. A person that makes 100,000 a year buys a house that's bigger, clothes that are nicer, and food that's "healthier". But if you asked them for 20 bucks they'd probably say they've got bills to pay, children to feed, or in so many words "I can't afford to share right now". An interesting concept when you really stop and think. Ask a guy that makes 30,000 a year and a guy that makes 100, and they'll probably say the same thing. They probably feel like they're in the same situation financially. Never can have enough money, right? So, just in case someone reading this hit's it big, or is already making a pretty comfortable living, stop and think about how you're using your money. Do you need an apartment that big when they're still children dying from hunger? Change starts with you, and it only takes a little to make a huge impact (haha get it, spare some change to make some change...yeah I know that wasn't worth saying...so).
