Money, Money and More Money...

Money IS NOT the root of all evil. I think we know what or rather who is the root of evil. Many of us try to defend the notion that money is not everything, that there are more important things than money. Well, you might want to rethink that thought, especially now.

Everything that is important to us needs money. Our family, our health, our children’s education, even the job we faithfully goes to needs tons of money, you know the parking, the petrol, the breakfasts and lunches, the toll, the clothes we put on, the many shoes, the accessories. So tell me, who doesn’t need extra money now? Thought so.

The leaders want us to ‘change’ our lifestyle. I think we all know what ‘change’ means la kan. They actually want us to ‘downgrade’. Instead of driving a comfortable car, they want us to ride a motorbike, instead of eating the finest foods, they want us to settle for Maggie mee and air suam, instead of aiming to buy a bigger house, they want us to look for a 3 bedroom bird’s house. So for many of us who has no car but a bike, live in flats (don’t get me wrong, I used to live in one, my grandmother and many of my relatives live in one), eat Maggie mee and drink air suam the last two weeks before pay day, how much downgrade can they do? Tak ke mcm bodoh statement konon-konon ‘leaders’ tu?

Kiyosaki and Trump have stated their book “Why We Want You To Be Rich” that in America, the middle class is disappearing leaving only the poor and the rich. Well, when America sneezes, the whole world (altogether now) CATCHES COLD. That’s right, things are not as rosy as it used to be.

So what are we going to do now? Follow the so-called ‘leaders’ advice and change our already pathetic lifestyle? Go with the flow and hope that someone will throw us a lifeline? Or take matters into our own hands? Our life, our choice, right? RIGHT!
