The good things about being rich:
1.You can help other less fortunate people as much as you help your own self. (I'm being realistic about this. Because, if you can't even help yourself, then how will you ever be able to help others as well?)
2.You don't have to worry too much or even feel bad when there's a family crisis, because you can always help. (Mom once told me how she'd have loved to help others if she'd had more money. Well, we don't right now, and when Grandpa's hospital bills were out --- she felt awfully sad.:(*sighs*)
3.You don't have to rely on your much richer-but-stingier relatives to pay for your grandfather's hospital bills.:( Since they always complain about the money, you wish you'd be able to pay everything yourself so they all could just shut the hell up when they actually didn't even feel like helping at all anyway!:x
4.Your own country's becoming a real bitch about weighing their taxes upon their already financially-screwed citizens. The rats up there are eating up and causing more corruption in the government. Bureaucracy's a perfect way to torment regular commoners. Living in your big city costs you a lot more every freaking day. Without money, then how the hell will you ever be able to really escape that?
5.You don't have to worry a lot about your younger brother's college tuition fees in a highly expensive, private college (especially since this is also his senior year and you just don't want him to drop out. He has to finish it and graduate, no matter how and what!)
6.You don't have to give up --- or push aside --- your OWN dreams for a while, just to help others first and avoid being considered a selfish bitch. Too many walls before your goals can be a dangerous, mental threat. It's eating you up from the inside, slowly stealing your powers away.:( Trust me, you'll regret it when there's nothing left for you to even dream anymore.
7.You can always escape to a much safer place abroad, in case some stupid draft created by shallow people to implicitly and merely repress women in your country might be legalized and taking your freedom away.
8.Alright, so we all believe that money's not everything and it can't buy everything.*rolls eyes* But, once again, let's just be more realistic about all this, shall we? The fact is, money usually makes everything easier. Aww, come on --- don't be such a hypocrite.:P*big evil grin*
But in my case, it's legal cash. I'm not that brave dealing with blood money.:P
So, although I'm not exactly a materialistic, I think money's very very important these days. I hope that's not so bad.*shrugs*
Or, is it??
