The world is in a tough place right now and as mentioned yesterday money is changing hands.
Sometimes money changes hands simply because :
1. you have money
2. you are famous (for what is sometimes a mystery)
3. Money is there to be wasted
3 reasons that really don't make sense. The old saying that money attracts money is very true but the question is WHY?
Why for heavens sake has a magazine just spent $14 Million on some photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Baby? Isn't it disgusting. Cute baby though!
Perhaps this shows the negativity in me or some would call it jealousy. I can say now it is Not jealousy. I somehow think that with all the hungry, starving, dying people out there that $14 Million was and is a bit excessive.
I mean, who are these people and so what if they have had a baby. The celebrities cry out for privacy for heavens sake and then they moan like crazy if they are not on the front page of a magazine. I give up.
You know, I would never pay to get photos of some baby leave the poor kid alone!
So yes, money is out there. Go on buy a copy of a magazine and see the photos.
For some a recession will never come. If they lose a million here or a million there so what.
For me and for you we have to survive. Those who have been paid stupid sums of money for just "being" - I won't say living as they are not living. Life is more than money as is a recession. A recession is pretty much in your head and only exists when someone tells you it does or when you are in it. Get out of the recession, ignore the doom and gloom of the recession pedlars. Smile, hey you might just get $14 Million for it.
Today's challenge. Try being normal. Think to yourself - do I really want $14 Million. The answer will be yes you want it but it should be no, the money won't help you really. A million may help a tad but 14 of them...I can't even begin to spend it
House - $500,000
School for my kids life $200,000
Nice car $25,000
I can't even spend a Million!
Here...go to the casino and blow a bit!
