More Money, More Problems.

The power of credit can be too enticing

How can I make x amount of dollars

and by the end of the day

ask y is there so little?

Each day I owe the same company

I paid in full the month before.

I have found the money tree

it is called Me

Does any body know the place that accepts limbs

or the labor of underaged kids?

I declare!

I’m willing to sacrifce every increase

to go back to the times I lived off spam

Money has become too much

The more I get

The more it seems simple living

just goes to waste

    Very True! There always seems to be more month than there is money. But we have indeed been blessed beyond what the residents of many countried could imagine.

    Very truly said.

    Did you really eat spam? Try Cup of Noodles Soup :)

    Most of us are in the same boat with you :)

    I understand – the further I think I’m getting ahead, the further behind I fall. The cost of living continues to rise at a much higher rate than our salaries. Even if we make more than we did a few years ago, we’re actually worse off.

    The days of eating spam. That sure brings back some memories. You’re right. I was in a lot less debt in those days of eating spam.

    I wish to never buy or pay for or from anyone for a month. I wonder how can it be done.

  • AlmaG on Feb 9, 2010

    What you said is true. I’m in the same boat as you are.
