Money!

Money! Money has way to much power. Money controls us if we let it. We work so hard to earn money and most the time we already know what we are going to spent it on before we get paid. Crazy. I know at least I do. Sometime making money last from paycheck to paycheck is all most impossible. There are ways to make it happen. First it all start with you. I found that when I get paid I put some in the bank in my checking account, some in savings, and a little cash. This helps me to limit on the amount I spend. Sometimes I make a list of everything that I think I need to buy with my paycheck. I go through the list and mark off the things that I don't really need. Sometimes I have to do this twice depending on how much I think I need something. I first I use my cash for my spend money and gas. If I need to use the money in my checking account I usually use my debit card. When using a debit card I have to be careful. Since debit cards are used all the time there is a lot more people trying to scam them. It is not good to put in your pin went someone else can see what you are typing. Using an ATM outside of the bank it belongs to isn't a very good idea either. Sometimes people will put little small cameras on them. After you have put in your card and pin the person comes back and gets the camera. Than who ever has your numbers can make a copy of your card. That is really not cool. I that is one reason why I like to use cash. Managing money is always hard for me, but I have to work. Sometimes I find myself worrying about money so much it is all I think about. Then I realize that I am letting money control me instead of me controlling my money. Money is everything. I might seem like we can't do anything without it, but we can. There are many things that are great and don't cost a thing. I hope you chose to control your money and not let it control you.
