One of the standard questions in a focus group will always be "what do you want in life" or something similar to that. Respondents will always say "I want more money"; and I tend to reply with this question which I find very stupid "why do you want so much money for"?
Thinking deep to myself, why do I want more money than I currently have?
Money I guess is everything. You can't do anything without money which includes the dreams I secretly have like... travel around the world, do charity work in Africa - help them build houses and piping. Those are dreams which I know I can't achieve and will remain dreams in this life. (Unless I suddenly hit the jackpot or marry a rich man like Bill Gates.)
OK back to reality and not to think so far about travelling and helping the unfortunate people in Africa. I guess without money I will have difficulty in even rearing myself, not to say looking into the near future of starting a family!
Wondering to myself. I am not a big spender and spend mostly on necessities like food and travel and to top that, I haven't been shopping at all! WTF! But at the end of every month, I still have no savings at all! Bloody hell. Where did all my money go?!
I guess this is not just happening to me as many around me are facing this exact same situation...
Tell me, what is the cause of this "money no enough" society? Why is inflation so high that everyone seem to feel the pinch so hard that everyone's pocket is bruised to the max? Sometimes I wonder, maybe I should have become a geek and study IT or maybe I should be a doctor... Or maybe... maybe... I should have become a politician in Malaysia!
I am not connoting that politicians "earn" a lot of money. I am just connoting the fact that maybe these "poor" politicians have such important calling for the country that they can live a "clean" life without spending much money - sort of becoming goddess' or deities because of their "true" calling in life.
Not to stray far away from why we want more money in life. I guess that is reality.
