Talkin to my mom tonight got me thinking about money and what I would do if I never had to worry about it anymore... since I have been on my own after college I have pretty much been living pay check to pay check... I'm sure there are a lot of people my age that have this same money situation. I make a decent living, but I am always worried about what would happen if I suddenly lost my job or got hurt and couldn't work for a while. Money is one of those things that is always on my mind and no matter what happens, there is never enough of it... but what if there was...
I have been flirting with the idea of doing some independent contracting for the military because I know that the pay is very good and since I really have no ties to the states anymore the thought has been crossing my mind more and more... I've been told that its pretty dangerous but I guess for what they are willing to pay you, there must be some catches like that... The one thing that I have wanted to do in my life was to help my family with their financial situation... We used live a very comfortable life until we tried to open a restaurant when I was a teenager and lost everything... Things have been very hard ever since. I put myself through college and I have to say that those five years were pretty poor on my part... I lost all the money that was saved up for my college education when we lost the restaurant...
Anyways, back to my family... my mom is the hardest working woman that I have ever known in my entire life... she has been the glue that held my family together and continues to be even today... I wish I had one opportunity to make her life and the lives of the rest of my family easier by relieving some of the financial stress that she faces everyday... If I ever were to win the lottery I would only keep 10 percent and i would give the rest away... not only to my family, but others in my life that have had some a wonderful impact on my life... I hope that one day I will be able to prove and demostrate this...
Even still, regardless of whatever amount I make, money is better spend with the ones you love... whether its a present, dinner with friends, or just helping someone in a time of need... my money is never nor will it ever just be my own... because I am addicted to the feeling I get when I share it with others...
So here is my promise to all my readers, friends, family, and all - Hope for prosperity in me and I will gladly share my rewards.
