Okay, I have a gripe. It just burns! Money is a necessity in life and for those of us that have little we often wish we had much more, but today I am grateful to be poor. I never thought that I would EVER say that but after today I am am happy to say it and will repeat it when I am complaining about not having enough to satisfy my needs and WANTS. My mom, bless her heart, has bent over backwards and twisted herself in knots for an exchange student who comes from money and has got nothing but grief and pain to show for it. It just makes me so furious because of all that she has done for me and taught me over the years. This kid may come from money, but what I can tell he has no idea what it is to sacrifice all you have for someone that you love, my parents on the other hand do. If he would just stop and enjoy the scencery instead of nitpick every little thing I think he just might find that he can learn a thing or to about sacrifice and respect from two people who(I feel) know it best.
Money isn’t everything and you certainly can’t buy honest to goodness, we’re talking REAL love or respect with it you have to earn it!!
Being rich has its pitfalls….
