Thoughts On Finance

These days finances are on the minds of most American’s and probably a lot of our international counterparts as well.  We are all thinking, how will we make it, will we be able to make ends meet, or are we going to be facing unemployment over the coming years? Well, I know personally many a day, I will wish that I had more, as I am sure is where a lot of people are at.  Wishing that you were one of the wealthiest people in the world, so you just didn’t have to give money another thought…Am I Right?

More money may not be the answer as a recent trend around the globe is showing wealthy businessmen committing suicide due to the tough financial times.  Personally, I think it is very sad that so many men are defining themselves in such a way that without money they are completely useless to their families and to society in general.  Sure we all know that men tend to identify with being the bread winner and that is there primary role in most families, however isn’t it sad that these big wig executives are leaving behind wives and children without even so much as a second thought about.  Perhaps they only seem to have it all, but I can assure you that these children would have been better off to have a father in their lives, even if they had to live a meager lifestyle.  Someone to show them that when the going gets tough, the tough get going, and not check out.

I quite honestly am glad that I don’t have so much money that to be penniless would devastate me or cause me to kill myself.  I have my family and that is where my priorities lie.  Let’s focus on all that we do have in this life and not just the money, after all it is really just green paper…isn’t it?
