What is it about us that seeks wealth? We want to be financially stable right? The media and pop culture shows us how glamorous it can all be. We can have everything we could ever want. The latest trends and technologies are all expensive. And wealth can provide us with the newest Play Station, the best iPhone, the coolest computers, trendiest clothes and best cars. Who doesn't want this life?
There is a difference between being rich and being financially stable. The question would be what would we want to be? I'm not claiming to be perfect, and even I have to admit the idea of being wealthy sounds amazing. I would never have to worry about financial issues. It'd be amazing.
And if I was rich I know I would want to help others. I would buy my parents a house and make sure they'd never have to work again and I'd pay for my sister's schooling to make sure her butt has no excuses for not going to school. I'd help my grandparents, well my grandma. I would honestly give to charity. And if I was financially stable enough I'd love to adopt some kids. It'd be awesome.
I want to be a doctor, not for the money aspect of it, but for so much more. And hopefully I do become a doctor, and hopefully I am very stable in money to being a little wealthy, I'd do whatever I could to help.
What are dreams that you dream about if you had the money?
As much as I would love to have money, I also acknowledge just how terrible it's become. And maybe it's not even the money's fault. It's people that ruin it, like with religion, the way people act for money. What people do for money, it's crazy and scary. When they say money buys happiness, I'm a true believer that that is a lie. Sure it can soften hardships, but can we ever really be truly happy with money?
I don't think so. Money isn't something that should create our ultimate happiness for ourselves. When did we lose the touch in finding happiness in the simple things, when did we cross the line into owning the latest gadgets and clothes and thus being happy. That is not how we should be.
I think we need to appreciate wealth, and the wealthy should do more with their money other than ensuring they stay wealthy. But I also think we shouldn't let it control us.
