Money, It's A Crime

I think the leading cause of death in the world is money. Not just deaths because you stole some Mob guy's money or you were shot while robbing a bank, though those count too. I'm talking about heart attacks, cancer, almost any health problem really I think can be traced back to some involvement with money. Money, especially lack of, causes stress. Stress causes health problems. Health problems lead to death. Therefore money causes death.

Personally, I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck, as the saying goes. I hate thinking that I have to cash my check this week otherwise I can't do anything over the weekend. Now, I've gotten much better at handling money and making a budget. I would say I've improved about 1000 percent over just the last 6 months. The problem, however, is that something always winds up going wrong that costs money. I've cut down on a lot of silly expenditures that used to take up a lot of cash. I haven't smoked in about 9 months, I no longer go out drinking for hours a night, every night. I mean, right there I'm talking about saving, no kidding, about 12 or 13 thousand dollars a year (I used to really like my drink).

Now, you would figure with an extra 12 thousand dollars a year I would be able to have a nice stash of money saved away. Nope. I don't know where it goes. I think some money fairy comes and sucks it up with its ass or something.

I would write more but right now I'm a little nauseous thinking about those 12 thousand dollars.
