Money Problems There’s a pain in my head that will not go away, it sits there and throbs during most of the day. With bills on the mat and no cash in the bank and credit cards creaking… I think my ship’s sank! The future is looming, my mind’s filled with fear, why is it that living is so bloody dear? With a wife and two children depending on me, I’ll need more than pure luck to set all of us free. Financial worries can make your life hell, every ounce of your being consumed by their spell. We feel there’s a reason we should be ashamed, so hide them from others to protect all our names. This pain in my head, that will not go away, cannot be relieved just by earning more pay. It’s cure calls for direction in leading my life and enjoying the love of my children and wife. Living each day with a good share of fun whilst paying respect to what needs to be done. But no need to worry myself till I’m sick, just let the odd creditor wait for a bit. You won’t go to jail for not paying a bill, but your family will suffer if you make yourself ill. So count all your blessings, have fun on the way and dream you’ll inherit a fortune one day! Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past. |

Well done, very enjoyable about a very unenjoyable subject. I think I will never see that mythical money tree, that every year will shead leaves of bank notes instead, so I might gather them each fall to pay off creditors when they call. Gloom |

"You won’t go to jail for not paying a bill, but your family will suffer if you make yourself ill. So count all your blessings, have fun on the way and dream you’ll inherit a fortune one day!" Heart warming close. I was curious to see how this would end. Great attitude. JL  |

Enjoying each day in whatever way you can...that is the key. The bills never go away as fast as the precious moments with family and friends do, so enjoy!! |

Eric's response made me laugh.. and it's true there is more to life than worrying about bills all the time.  M |
