You can never have too much.
they $ay you can’t buy happine$$.
It help$ when the penny jar is full,
your wallet is empty
your knife is dull.
Thing$ $hould never co$t $o much.
Happine$$ with money i$ $o far out of touch.
You need to $pend it wi$ely and keep it tight,
what about that emergency in the middle of the night?
It’$ ok to have $ome fun,
enjoy yourselve$,
just don’t $hare with everyone.
They will $uck you dry
they will $uck you clean
when your wallet i$ empty
they become mean.
They $top to care
that’$ what happen$ when you $hare.
your money $hould be kept your$
hide it behind tightly clo$ed door$.

what..
can be said that haven't already been
shared when it comes to money?
Its a necessary evil that sucks its
victims in. Not to mention that we live
in a very materialistic society that
worships the almighty dollar. We're taught
from birth almost that money is the most
valuable thing in life. Its displayed subtly
in every facet of our life. Only those who
stop to think and understand what quality
of life is all about, learn that money is
just a means to an end. -
yay!!!
I really liked and it really put the meaning through.
