i am not trying to be rich vlad. i am poor. but i have some wants that make me happy.

i try to live happily i found out from young age money can only buy things or buy short term happiness. but i found out through trial and error i would rather live happy then be able to buy things. as thinga are only good for a certain time. i tend to get bored of things and then have no use for them. if i only buy the things i realy wanted i might keep them longer and appreciate them a bit more. even get more use out of them. but if i can buy everything i might not get the same feeling out of it.

i would enjoy being able to buy everything i wanted but that isnt on my realistic things i want to accomplish list. i strive to become the best person i can. so everybody might be able to gain something from me. that is more valuable then haveing money imo. when people try to pick your brain its a amazing feeling for me. i would rather be wanted then liked.

i will not bend over backwards for $$$$

so instead of me trying to gain as much money i can like most greedy individuals i try to become the best person because the value of that is priceless one can not buy.

i understand people need to work and need money in todays world to live. but instead of saving $$$ or trying to earn as much $$$ as you can try to become a better person and see in the long run if that helps you more than saving a few cents eating McDOnalds.

for some the extra dollar might help for most becoming a great person is better.

dont rob, steal, cheat,burn,destroy for $$$$$. its not worth it. ask your buddy with the 1000hp s2000 what he thinks
