The trouble with money.
by Old-Nick @ 2008-05-13 - 11:34:14

Well apart from the obvious one, that there is never enough of it for long enough, is that it never looks at you and says, “Save me in a nice warm account somewhere”

Well not to me. It says “GO FOR IT! BUY STUFF!” and bounces up and down all excited and encouraging like.

The thing is that this month we are supposedly getting a leeedle bit extra in our pay. For being good boys and girls. It will not be enough for a riverside pad in Kensington of course, but it’s more than you need to buy 10 bags of chips.

I should really put it away and use it for something good and worthy.

Or put it away to spend on a trip or holiday – spending money is always a good thing to have when you’re in that there “the foreign”.

But I can’t help the window shopping. I have been looking at lots of unnecessary goodies on the internet. Like new hand wound pickups for one of my guitars.

Or I could, horror of horrors – actually buy some new clothes. And trust me I cannot believe I just said that out loud either.

Must not be bad.

Exercise some sense and control.

Just once dammit!

Money's very purpose is to be given in exchange for goods or services, otherwise it's just bits of paper, or a number on a screen.

Would you deny it its purpose?

Yes, but anything I buy over there will be purchased out of last months wages, the bonus comes at the end of this month.

Ahh. I get it. :)

Do you think you'd be able to buy a pirate outfit with that bonus?

I already have the headscarf, excessive jewelry and black ruffled billowy shirt, so I think I am sorted for now.

Look at it this way....this will be money you never had so it won't matter if you go out and blow every last penny!

Go for it, whooooo hooooooo, give Gordon Brown hope that there won't be a recession! ;)

I think the only sensible thing to do is to give ME all this money and be rid of worry.

I'm happy to help.
