Poem
"When it comes to money, you can't win. If you focus on making it, you're materialistic. If you try to but don't make any, you're a loser. If you make a lot and keep it, you're a miser. If you make it and spend it, you're a spendthrift. If you don't care about making it, you're unambitious. If you make a lot and still have it when you die, you're a fool-for trying to take it with you. The only way to really win with money is to hold it loosely-and be generous with it to accomplish things of value." - John C. Maxwell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listen to the lessons Who remind me that I spend, More than I can earn, More than I can learn… Is too much, too much, too much. Listen to my conscious, When I reach for the cart, Shopping – my obsession, When will it finally stop? When will I park that cart? Listen to the lessons Who remind me that I’m broke, Spent more than I am making, Spent more than I can earn, Spent more – don’t have money to burn! Listen to my conscious, When the cash is burning holes… Deep inside my pocket, Where they yearn to finally know How it feels to go into a jar, Saved from the shopping sprees! Saved from their enemy, ME! Listen to those bills, tempting me… To pay with cash, pay with my debit, Pay with credit – pay with anything… That allows me to spend, spend, spend, Spendthrift I am – spendthrift is who I hope… To quit being, throughout the coming year! My new year’s resolution, then… Is to write X spendthrift, When I take up my pen, to sign by the x, Where I’m signing my earnings away, For the next purchase that I’ve made – As a NEW X-spendthrift, I hope that I can say… Together with my money, I will finally stay, Able to look at the future with savings that I pray… Will keep me from poverty as I go on my way, Keep me from the spending that took me astray!
