On Money

Just shy of 1 week back, the post-holiday magical bubble of bliss is starting to wear thin-the cynicism and degradation of city life and city people is starting to infiltrate...

One thing particularly getting on my nerves...the money obsessed ie: the people who are anal, paranoid about it- the people who allow money to govern and direct their lives-the people who are so consumed that they have no life perspective...totally disgusting, not to mention, SO UNHEALTHY!

For sure, I understand if you are a single mother struggling to feed 3 children kinda thing- in that case, you are being completely reasonable- every cent definitely counts!!!

However I'm not talking about these people- I'm talking about the irrationally wealthy. The people who can more than easily afford to be a little generous to those less fortunate, who don't need to be so one-eyed, calculating or downright...selfish.

EXACTLY why every time people suggest "go marry some rich guy", my reaction is a cross between an indignant scoff/roll of the eyes cos these are the types that spring to mind instantaneously.

What I have noticed through the years is that it seems the more wealthy people get, typically the finance types, the accountants, the doctors, the lawyers, the more small minded and closed-minded they become:so unattractive.

I guess that's exactly why I didn't last at The Millionaires' Factory. I just did not want to be surrounded by that mentality day in and day out where the little guys inevitably get screwed so the large corporates can make a killing - I remember the final straw for me was seeing them chain themselves to our five star lobby in protest to their loss of an honest living- it was at this point I decided I needed to find myself a new path. I didn't want to be part of THAT anymore.

I'm not prepared to compromise values/morals/ethics just to turn a quick buck. How rare is it to find people left with any INTEGRITY these days? As the rat race gets faster and faster, it seems that the majority are turning into a wealth obsessed, money directed, small-minded green eyed monster.
