Salty about money

Moneyyyyyyyyy!!!! It seems like every decision in life revolves around money. When you think of what job you want to be doing in the future, you think about how much money they make, how much food will cost, what clothes you can buy, and what house you want to live in. All of these thing revolve around money. Now, some people say you don't have to have money to be happy. Ok true, but to what point. If you have no money you will never get anything you've ever dreamt about, wouldn't that make you unhappy? To know that any dream you've had can never come true? I think your opinion on this subject comes from what side of the money train you're on. (and yes I said money train.. couldn't think of the right word) If you are someone who grew up without a lot of money, you look at rich people all your life and see how good they have it. How they don't seem to have a care in the world because no matter what they do they know that will end up being fine, never having to worry about bills or dreams and getting anything they've ever wanted. Everything just seems to come easier to them, so when looking at it from that point I understand, but I also understand the other side of things. People who have grown up with a considerable amount of money, just seeming to go through life without any purpose. They've gotten anything they ever wanted but inside are truly unhappy.(yeahh i don't understand that..but hey it happens) What else that kind of upsets me is how much things are starting to cost. It seems like every time you turn around the price of something has gone up. Things like gas that used to seem high are now outrageous. I hate to say it but in a way we depend on money, as sad as it sounds, to survive. (what a dissapointing realization)
