In our society today materialism is one of the number one things that holds people. People feel defined by the clothes that they wear, or the type of car they drive, or the size of their house. But even if you buy a new diamond ring it may give you temporary happiness and excitement for a moment but it won't last forever. Truly those things will eventually fade away.
Money can't buy you peace, love, happiness
I remember a friend telling me a story about a situation she experienced. She was dating someone who came from a family who were millionaires. They were famous around the world and very well known in their area of expertise. She remembered visiting their house and it being like paradise, she described it as heaven on earth. But one thing she will never forget is the fact that inside their home was turmoil and pain. The parents divorced and the father became an alcoholic, they are still very rich but very unhappy. Money couldn't keep the family together, what keeps a family together is love.
So, remember this the next time you want to buy that prada shoes, it's who you are inside that matters. Stuff don't make you a better person but it's your character that defines who you are,
Love,
The Money grrl
