The Man and His Money
Money is only loaned to a man. He comes into the world with nothing and he leaves with nothing.
~~ William Crapo Durant ~~
Not exactly true. While it’s true that one comes into the world with nothing and leaves with nothing, the money is only loaned to you if you are born to rich parents, marry a rich person or win a lottery! Since you don’t have much choice in who you are born to, you may want to try your hand at the other two options. LOL. If nothing works for you, then you just have to go out and grab some money to survive.
As would be expected, some are able to grab more money than others. Some even manage to create money (wealth) through their ingenuity and hard work. Some grab it through tricks and treachery. And most of us work our butts off and live from pay cheque to pay cheque. And when it comes time to leave this earth, we wonder: where did the time go? :-)
I think it’s a good thing that we can’t take our money with us (actually I think we don’t go anywhere, it’s just dust to dust but that is a different topic). There is so much turmoil in the world over money in spite of the fact that we can’t take it with us; can you imagine what a hell hole this world would be if we could actually take our money with us?
