You see I want money,
lot’s and lot’s of money.
I want the pie in the sky,
I want lot’s and lot’s of money,
so don’t be asking my why.
I wanna be rich, oh,
Song by Calloway – I wanna be rich
I was listening to music one day and this song started playing. I started dancing and singing like no one was watching, well actually no one was watching 😏. You should have seen me. MJ had nothing on me. Anyway I digress. At the end of the song I asked myself is this me? Do I really want to be rich? What exactly is it to be rich? Is it only about money? What would I do with the money, lots and lots of money? Is it really something that I would want? If so why and if not, why?
Actually I do want lots and lots of money and I realize it’s for the freedom that I can achieve. I want to be able to do what I want without constraints. Is it still possible? Is it make belief or would I still want the dream? What would I need to do and would I still want to get up every day and go grind to make the money? I now realize that it’s the grind that I no longer want to do daily. Actually not for someone else. That’s why I want lots and lots of money. But would it be as Notorious B.I.G. said, “Mo Money Mo Problems.”? Maybe, maybe not. What do you think? I was thinking that it might solve many problems. I could get rid of the golden handcuffs. It’s having that freedom. What freedom you might ask. The ability to do what I want without having to consult someone else. I can go on vacation with my children without asking for someone’s permission and pay with ease. I can buy what I want without having to think about it while cutting and carving. That is the freedom I see and want. So maybe it’s fine to have lots and lots of money. And no don’t tell me it will prevent me from getting to heaven. Why would it? More money would mean I could give more. 👍🏽
Rona has shown us that no job is safe and we should have done whatever was needed to have more than one source of income. As that old adage said “ our money should be working for us, not us working for money.” Why did it take a pandemic to slap me upside the head to see the really big picture?
We were taught to go get a job after school that was safe with good benefits. What did that get us in 2020? We lost our jobs or had our salaries cut. Sigh. Can it be business as usual? Do you want to be rich and what does being rich mean to you? Then again is it that I want to rich or wealthy? Yes there is a difference. We can look at that in another blog. I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
