I believe a lot of people are not financially stable because they have a lot of misconceptions about money. They grow up listening to people saying "money is evil" or "money doesn't grow on trees". People have no idea how these negative statements can impact your entire life if you let it. The last time I checked money was a piece of paper. I always wondered at what point does money become evil? What's the exact dollar amount that is evil ? If I slave for a corporation everyday earning $28,000/year making the CEO rich and barely can make my ends meet does that make me a good person? If I got fed up and then decided to publish a book and sell a million copies making $5 million on how to eat healthy and get 6 pack abs, does that make me evil? Should I be labeled evil because I chose to escape the rat race, teach people about how to be healthy and empower myself by making millions of dollars writing a book? The ironic part is that broke people can't help anybody including theirs selves. If you had money then you could really help people by starting a business and create jobs, feed hungry kids, and give back to the community. How can you give back to the community if you hiding your car all over town because the repo man is looking for you?
People Are Evil, Not Money
People are the ones that are evil, it's not the money. I believe the lack of money is the root of all evil. Being broke your whole life and never taking action is the real crime. How many people are sitting in jail that come from a low income environment versus growing up with a silver spoon in their mouth? I doubt if you will ever catch Simon from American Idol holding up a Burger King or 7 Eleven with a Tommy gun for $86. People who grow up in poverty don't enjoy selling drugs. They don't wake up in the morning and say" Hey, I feel like getting shot in the ass today from one of my rivals or the police today because my life is boring and I need a sense of adventure". They do it because their stomach is growling and their kids need baby milk. Last time I checked, buying food and putting a roof over you to keep rain drops from falling on your head was not free. Homeless people don't eat out of a trash can because it's tasty. Do you think they like the way that moldy sandwich tastes after it's been marinating in filth for days? Do you think they are competing with rats and insects in a garbage can for food for kicks? I got an idea, next time you see a homeless man digging for food in the trash can outside of Red Lobster, won't you strike a convo with him about how "money's not everything" or "money is the root of all evil". He will probably tell you to give him $5 so he can get something to eat or get the hell out his face ASAP. Besides, how often do you see someone with $300,000 in their savings account eating old spaghetti out a dumpster?
Examples Of How Money Is Not Evil
- NUCLEAR POWER- Nuclear power can be used to power up an entire city including the home you live in or blow up a city. It's not the nuclear power that's doing it, it's the person behind it.
- GUNS- I'm not the biggest advocate of guns but the fact remains that it's a piece of technology. You can't go around and uninvent guns or technology once it's been conceived. They are here to stay just like the internet. Good luck on trying to unplug the entire internet and burying the blueprints on how to make it from the entire world. Guns can be used to shoot an animal and feed your family or used to rob a bank and harming people. Is the gun evil or the person robbing the bank?
- CASH- As I stated before, you can use money to start a business and create jobs or start a multi million dollar drug ring flooding the streets with narcotics. Every one has a choice when they obtain money. If you are a drug kingpin standing trial, you can't point to a big bag of money in the courtroom and say "I didn't do it, the money did it". "The money is the real brains of the operation"! Well guess what, someone is going to jail and most likely get raped in the shower and it ain't the bag of money.
