Money is the root of all evil. Those who dont have enough yearn for more and those who have more than enough and more than they can spend in one lifetime also yearn for more.

Money is a curious thing.

It can be used to make a persons life easier and at the same time make a persons life unbearable. How many time have you heard about somebody winning millions in a lottery and a within a few years being broke and worst off then they where when they started. Everyone wants money, but who in their right mind would ever aspire to be like Donald Trump, JP Morgan or any one of the CEOs of the Fannie Mae of Freddie Mac operations. Could you go though your life with no real privacy and almost ever body wishing nothing but the worst for you?

If you dont have the luxury of family money, Ivy school and friends in high places, then you are left to your our devices as to earning your money to get the necessity of life. Most people work hard all their life just to enough money to eek out a living and retire with what money the government decides you need to live out your golden years.

Money is an odd obsession. It has been around for thousands of years. Yet how many millionaires or even wealthy people can most people name prior to BC, 1700s, 1800s, not many. Most people can however name great minds through history. Plato, Socrates, Einstein, or great visionaries like Columbus, Magellan or Lewis and Clark or even great comedians the three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Lucile Ball, or WC Fields.

What most people dont realize is that the visionaries, great minds and great comedians all worked at what they enjoyed for their adult lives. While they were at their peak, Im sure they had more wealth than they could imagine but that isnt what we remember them for.

There is always some body who wants your hard earned money without working for it. People lie for it, kill for it, steal it and die for the almighty dollar. Hard work and creativity will always make money for you but will also take it away from you by somebody else working harder and being more creative.
