Money Hope

Today was a good day for me. Court went well and all my tickets were dropped. I've been worrying myself to death for the past month and I'm so glad I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Driving school won't be so bad and at least it won't go on my record.

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.
