Ahah! Gotcha! Bet you thought I was going to blog about Nothing…. But, I just couldn’t! It’s not in me AND it’s not the “N” day! I am going to attempt to show you how interested we are in money.
I mean, we all like to get the most bang for our buck and if I’m going to “go out and touch someone”, wouldn’t it be great if I had the
Midas Touch!
Now some people might think I’m made of money, rolling in money, or that it grows on trees in my yard , the way they keep asking me for it!
Do they think I have money to burn?
I wouldn’t give them a red cent unless it was a cause dear to my heart.
I’ve heard of stock market investors who have made a killing and made out like bandits and some others who can barely make ends meet. And how in the world will we be able to put in our 2 cents and pinch pennies once they obsolete our lowly coin! Whoever was in charge of that decision has no clue of the impact of this loss! I am still reeling with sadness that I wasn’t around to learn first hand that “two bits” was a quarter… the next generation won’t know what’s happening once they are cut off without a penny or a penny saved is a penny earned… I can hear it already: “Whatever!”
They can say, as Jackie Mason is said to have said: "I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."

I am only asking for a man of means to adopt me, one who has made a mint and won’t mind parting with some seed money so I can get on the gravy train with my cash cow. But I’m probably a day late, a dollar short, because I can’t just go at the drop of a dime and we’re talking way more than chicken feed here!
So signing off, betting dollars to donuts, that whether you’re loaded or broke , one thing you keep asking for is “Show Me The Money”!!
Better Be a Little “S” than a Little Less

DeleteI really enjoyed your blog about money. It was like a refreshing drink of water with playful ice cubes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma - the clink-clink of ice cubes on glass reminds me of coins falling in a piggy bank - nice "saving" sound :-) Sylvie

ReplyDeletenicely written!
Thank you Sweetie: So many of them! It just goes to show you how much time we spend on stuff we value! ;) Mama xxxxxxxxx
DeleteBetty: it's so nice to welcome you here. Thank you for sharing; i agree with you wholeheartedly. Money is not what i need to be happy; somehow it's just incredibly useful to pay the rent! A friend of mine, who lives near Sacramento, has made me aware of several parties out there who have brought back the barter system for their goods and services and i find that totally awesome!! Cheers, Sylvie
