Money Money Money!!

Why is money so important, wouldn’t it just be great if it didn’t exist??
Money comes and it goes for all us lucky people but have we ever stopped to think that 50 pounds that we spent on them new jeans that we wanted for ages could have fed a family for a week or even longer.
There are many people who don’t think about these things and treat money like it has no value, like its just paper, get themselves in debt with credit cards and overdrafts and then spend the rest of there lives paying these off with the interest rates that hit the roof.

There are also people who are overly protective about money; they will not spend unless it’s vital. But what is the point of money if you don’t spend it?? It is there to be spent not to store away in a bank.

Why does everything revolve around money??

I think you have it and have lots of it or you don’t have any. If the money that all the rich people in world have, was shared, how many peoples lives could be improved and how many people could get food, clean water, basic clothes? All the things that we take for granted.

Have you ever thought people work hard all day long and still may only get enough money to survive?

Yet there are people out there who get paid for doing something they love and are poured with money.

Footballers, TV presenters, people working in fashion, singers.

How is that fair?

A survey was carried out by The Independent and it was found that the average a premiership footballer earns is 676,000 per year. And depending and age, position and performance this figure rises.

I think this is ridiculous!!
