the love of money is indeed the route of all evil in most cases. I work for a living and the money I make I need to survive; like most people. if I am given the chance to make some more money; I shall gladly take that opportunity as (more is better than less) most would agree with that. we all know what money can bring to us. more holidays, nice house, new car, a better lifestyle generally. those are reasons enough to want more and more.

the problem is; many who do have plenty of money and all of those luxuries still want more money (as much as they can get). give them a house and they want a bigger house. give them a car and they want a better car; a newer model. give them a holiday and they are still looking to go somewhere better. give them a (million) and they want more money. it all comes down to greed.

there is a saying;

1. those who have money don't want to spend it. those who don't have money; can't spend it because they don't have it to spend.

this is what leads to a recession.

most people like to keep money for a rainy day. that is what I do myself. I like to be in a position whereby if I need some money; then I have the funds in the bank to deal with any crisis. not saying I'm rich or anything; just careful with my spending habits. you never know what the british government could throw our way. petrol and gas and electric shall continue to rise; as will our weekly shopping bill. god knows what the next generation will be facing financially in life. I'd say; a life of financial struggle. many people spending less on non-essentials. many businesses will go bust and many shall lose their own houses. bankcruptcies shall follow; basically a future of doom and gloom for those who simply don't have the money to survive.

but there will be plenty who shall survive quite easily. we all know where most money comes from anyway;

1. property
2. inheritance
3. divorce settlements

I know a married couple who broke up and they are both seeing solicitors and trying to sort out a divorce settlement. his wife is really trying to squeeze him for as much as she can so she can have a better life with her new boyfriend; who will be more than happy to have some extra money come his way; as he is wealthy already. she will win; he told me. he also told me that love is blind and he will never be able to trust a woman again. next time he will sort out a pre-nuptial agreement like many of the rich celebrities do; bust most of us wouldn't go down that road. I don't think I could actually.

one more saying;

1. a fool and his money is soon parted

ain't that the truth.
