CRAZE FOR MORE MONEY. LIVE LIFE WITHIN YOUR MEANS.

 CRAZE FOR MORE MONEY BRINGS MISERY AND UNHAPPINESS.

BETTER TO LIVE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF OUR MEANS.

Money makes the Mare Go.

Money has retained its tight grip on people for times immemorial.

We see our success tied up in the amount of money we make. We have turned out

slaves to obtaining more and more money at the cost of our health and family well-being. What we have is never enough.  We have a sort of insatiable hunger for more and more.

I know Sam and Ram, both,  who have lost their fortune and all their money in the last stock-market upheaval.

1.Sam reacted with despair and anger and hatred that drove away all his friends and family acquaintance away from him.  He feels now lost isolated and abandoned.  He could not face himself in the mirror of his life because he no longer had even a million in his bank account. According to Sam money was, who he was rather than something he enjoyed.  He would yell at his children without any cause. He

would not listen to his wife, and his rage was getting more and more out of control every day.

Happiness in life is not linked to how much we have and how much we don’t have. Real happiness comes from having a balanced mind, a line of action and get out of the fallen trouble by hard work dedication and a cool mind.

2.Ram the other friend also had found hard to face himself in the mirror of his life. He also did not like losing the privileges of money and comfort had provided for him. He adjusted his life style of living and engrossed himself in finding out ways and means of getting out of trouble and regain his lost wealth.  He and his wife worked together, and maintained themselves on their reduced  income.

He says he enjoyed the money when he had it.  According to him now he takes life as it comes without any regrets. He says that he would try his level best working hard till he comes to the top.

We have seen many such examples before our eyes that it is not money but a blind craze for getting money is the root cause of all evil.

Possibly the lure of living a dignified high status life in the eyes of the society is responsible and inspires the man to spend more than his means of income in order to create an awe and respect in the eyes of members of his society.  There are most of our families that live beyond their means of income. The debt pressure creates a profound effect on his life and the course of action he is supposed to take.

Over seventy percent of divorce cases and family quarrels are seen resulting from lack of money due to over-spending beyond one’s means.  They put themselves and their family under pressure of financial debt, to provide nice and comfortable living for their family.

Early spending is done with man’s best of intentions. He is usually praised respected and obeyed by his family for providing them a luxurious life to the envy of each and sundry of the society they belong to.  Most men end up borrowing more and more to maintain the luxurious life-style.

Being in debt will make a man a prisoner of his creditors. Status and luxuries is not worth the cost of paying the piper. Plain living and high thinking and love for the family are the essential pre-requisites of a happy life.  Money is not everything in life.  Happiness is everything in life.

Living within the means of their income is the way to keep healthy wealthy and wise.
