I was driving in the traffic the other day when a new BMW open top sports car passed me. The man and the woman in the car were both laughing and very happy. From that moment on I knew that money does make you happy. It was living proof before my eyes.

 

I looked in some old cars that were passing by and not one person was even smiling, let alone laughing, more proof. I know, that whenever I have had money in my life, I have felt good about it. I never felt greedy or like a sinner, it gave me a sense of freedom. 

 

I like to have money because it lets me play more with life. It gives me time and space to do what I love. Whoever came up with the idea that money is the root of all evil should have his license revoked and put into solitary confinement for a few years. We do not need to hear such rubbish any more.

 

I think that such statements came either from institutions trying to control the masses by making them poor, or poor people trying to justify their existence. Either way, having no money is equivalent to having no food, it’s just not good for you.

 

Money buys you health care. It buys you medicine. Money allows you to be creative and gives you time to think about life (and making money). Having money means you can afford to be generous and share your luck. Did I say ‘luck!’. Surely there’s more to it than luck?

 

Wealth can’t come just from hard work because I’ve worked hard for years and still don’t own a Merc. And wealth can’t come from positive thinking because for most of my life I have been sure I would win the lotto but that did not happen, not even once. 

 

So how do you get lots of money? I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with priorities, I’ve never actually made money my priority. I have always put creative expression, my family, my career or my lifestyle as a priority but not money. Maybe this is what I should focus on, if I really want lots of money.

 

Anyway don’t talk to me now I’m too busy hating those people over there smiling in the Rolls Royce… and shutup, I’m not jealous!
