Blinded By The $

Blinded By The $

So many people today are blinded by the dollar. Especially with social media and everyone out there flexing about what they “have” Even if so many of them are not living that life and are only pretending to. They are out here saying look at me, look at my stuff, look how good I am doing. People see what they want to see and say I want that.  Even though so much of it is fake and many of these so-called "influencers" are drowning in debt, but hey they look good and you believe it.

Look I get it, I grew up poor, I wanted a better life. I watched Dynasty (Yes, Dinosaur reference) and I wanted that life. I worked two jobs to buy myself designer clothes and shoes. I had the latest and greatest car, a Mustang GT right off the showroom floor. I was determined to pull myself out of poverty. To show everyone I made it.

When I met my ex-husband I thought he could provide that life that I always wanted and yes, I admit I was blinded by the money too.

But I learned the hard way that money isn't everything. It doesn't make you happy. Trust me, I was crying every night in my beautiful house, in my big jacuzzi tub, trying to drown my sorrows in my expensive bottle of wine. I've learned that you don't need to impress anyone else. You need to be happy inside, you need peace and joy, which believe it or not money can't buy. 

Money doesn't make you a better person, and money definitely doesn't make your problems go away. You don't need to brag about what “you have” when so many of you know that the creditors are banging at your door. 

Like The Notorious B.I.G said so perfectly…

“It's like the more money we come across

The more problems we see

I don't know what they want from me”

So today my friends, remember having money doesn't solve your problems. It doesn't magically make you happy if you're not already happy inside. And know that everything you see on social media is not all it's cracked up to be or even close to being real. You may be out there chasing the money or it may turn out that you are really chasing the devil instead. Don't let yourself be blinded by the $.

“Be the change you want to see “
