money

I think money has much too great a hold over people these days, and I blame the system in part at least. Kids aren't taught how to handle money and what it's true worth is in schools or by their parents any more, so they're expected to go out into a world where they're offered credit left right and centre, and deal with it in a way that isn't easy. I personally believe that if you can get control over your money, you'll find you hate it a whole lot less. There are some good and useful articles about money (budgeting, and saving money on different things etc.) over on the peazyshop website which I help with - I wrote some of the articles you see. Why not give them a read, and then pop onto the forum there and say hi. Lots of people there who are wanting to make a bit extra or save a bit somehow etc. and it might be that we could share some ideas with you that have helpped some of us. (One big tip I'd offer is to go through all your outgoings one at a time - I check one of mine every month - and see if you can reduce it by getting whatever cheaper somewhere else. So look at electric, gas, buildings insurance, contents insurance, internet, phone etc. etc. For example, just by changing from BT for phone, and Tiscali for internet to a combined phone and internet package from tiscali I saved about £30 per month! that's £360 a year just by changing one thing.

i have to agree with you.i hate money also.i hate the fact that we need it and i also have none.yes we are definately dependant on it which is another bad thing,and the feeling you get when you are hanging out for payday is not a good feeling at all.cheers sue

i feel the same way about money as you.i know we need it but if i could live without it i would. as long as i have the important things i need who cares about the rest. i am not a material person and enjoy the simple things in life.

well like you i cant say that i hate money, i just hate what money does to people. you cant let money control you. and you have to realize that there are more important things out there. like you said, youre rich because you have your family. there are so many wealthy people out there who cant even have a family.

Don't hate money. By feeling hatred, you are only hurting yourself. Don't obsess over it either, but learn to make money work for you instead of you working for money. It's tough to understand, but jsut think about it for a while and maybe you will see what I'm trying to say.
