Follow the Money Brick Road?

Well the consensus is in. Money isn't everything and the path of life.


People that say money isn't everything, act like money isn't everything. Well its not. Reflecting on past experiences and viewing others in their own travels for riches. Ive noticed, as i am sure many of you have also, see how money really is not everything. Why, yes of course I would like to live comfortably and be able to provide for my family. BUT, how far will you go to get "rich"? 


Ive observed this intensely within the past couple of years being that I am getting older and some decisions must be made in order to continue my life and hopefully prosper from what it has to offer. Working massive hours everyday, day in and day out I found to be one of the most devastating acts a person can do to him or herself. The chase for those large pay checks every week, blinds some people. They forget who they are and what they mean so easily, so that they can boast about their success to others or flaunt their earnings. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against hard workers and the people who enjoy working hard. How ever I wonder if they stop and take the time to think about other aspects in life as they grow. Your friends? Your Family? Where are they? What do they think of you? 


There are only a handful of people that I have come across that has been fortunate enough to understand "Money is not everything". Example. A person I acquaint with has been working vigorously for most of his younger years (18 -27). Traveling to different places, working around the clock, missing important pivotal events in his life that not surprisingly he'd wish he could get back. While making very good money, being able to live in beautiful New York city apartments, nice cars, and vacations; It took a marriage for not only him but his spouse to realize that working so many hours and being away from home for long amounts of times is not worth it. They are both in thoughts of quitting their jobs and taking on occupations that pay a lot less, but are more enjoyable, to salvage and cherish the unbreakable bond that a social connection may have. This came to a shock to me, as I thought although he worked a lot, he enjoyed his work and the amount of money that is coming in. I was mistaken. Being envious of his income for so long, it has just come to my attention that money means nothing, compared to the relationships one has amongst another person. Whether it'd be your friends, wife or family. I would rather be broke or strapped for money and hanging out with my close friends having a good time, meeting people, learning things everyday, rather than get up to go to work at 9am to come home at 11pm making a lot of money but having no social life. There is so much more I can say about this topic, but I am  sure most of you get the gist of what I am trying to convey.


Ask yourself. Is it worth it to you? Is money really everything?
