Making Money

Have you ever noticed that today's society seems to push us to be preoccupied with various ways of making money.  Even my seven year old son has caught on to how things unfortunately work in this world.  Every thing, whether big or small, appears to revolve around making money.  "Why is it that everything costs money?" is his frequent complaint.  If there is a special promotion, offer or something offered free at a festival and he is advised that an item is 'free' - he becomes very sceptical.  He finds it hard to believe that an item really is offered for free!  Although I can understand his astonishment, I have to admit that it is rather a mature outlook for a seven year old child.

This materialistic world forces many people to stretch their earnings as far as possible in order to purchase new and updated items and thereby to keep up with the neighbours.  Others find themselves in the position of constantly searching for different methods of making money.  Some may be in a regular job and search for additional part time work in order to make that extra little bit more.  It goes something like this:- if you want to buy more, then you have to earn more.  It's rather like a circle or cycle.  The more you have the more you want.  The more you want the more money you have to earn.  The more money you need to earn means that you need to be on the constant lookout for new ways of making money.
