Personal Finance Review – Money Sucks Edition

November 4, 2007

Do you ever get discouraged and decide that money just sucks?  We have to work so hard for money and yet it seems we never have enough of it.  We’re trying our best to build up money but everyone else seems to be working equally hard to take it away. So many of our decisions are based mostly on money, wouldn’t it be nice if we just didn’t have to worry about it?

Of course, then you have to snap out of it.  Money is here to stay and we just have to do our best to minimize it’s negative impact on our lives.  If we can learn how to accumulate money without making it the focus of our lives and use it wisely we should be okay.  Here are some articles from last week that just might help us do that:

    Sometimes I get that way and feel money just sucks. My girlfriend and I did experimented and decided to not eat out for a month to save money, we were able to save about $500-$600 then all in one stupid day I got my car towed and spend about $300 to get it out. Totally unexpected so I felt really cheated. Sometimes I don’t know why I am so money driven and why I think of everything in terms of ROI. I wonder what I’d be doing or writing about if money didn’t exist.
