Don't we all wish we had a little bit more money from time to time? Whether it's to buy that new top or new game you've wanted for weeks. However growing up you realise money isn't just for lives luxuries. You need money to pay the bills and to keep a roof over your head. Money becomes more important and essential in your life. You start to actually understand what moneys worth. Well that's a lie not straight away. Sometimes life likes to throw in a little lessons to help you learn these things. For example when you decide to go on a random shopping spree for some much needed essentials, I put those words in bold because they really weren't much needed or even essentials. Then you check your bank account because you need some more milk or something that is a little bit more essential, like the extra cash to buy a text book or programme for your university course. Then you realise that little shopping spree wasn't as little as you thought and you aren't used to having to think about every meal or cleaning product you might need that money for. Although I've learnt my lesson.. I think. Money is a valuable thing! And you really shouldn't waste it. Money can create happiness but it can also create a lot of stress. It can put pressure on relationships and in extreme cases cause people to feel depressed. People can work so hard but never see any results, breaking even keeps the roof over their heads but it doesn't better their lives especially when they have to work day in, day out slowly not even enjoying their job. This is why university is important to me, I want to be successful but happy. Although money isn't happiness, in this day and age it bloody well helps. So my lesson for today is.. Think before you spend and that's not thinking about how good those shoes will look on you but how that money might be better of being spent in a different way. So here is to spending less and minimising stress. See what I did there?
