The world eats money
Stuff breaks when I have some spare
             I end penniless

Yes, it does cost to live these days because everything is so high in price and sometimes it is a poor quality product as well. Great way to express the idea. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Sara, I've never heard the end of it from my elders. It seems I was born in a time too late for quality made products. Thanks for the visit!

Great to have had your recent visit Jesse. Things are getting better, slowly but surely. Right - it must for Jesus declared on the Cross: "It is finished." He did the work, the heavy-lifting for us. I try to list the blessings I'm grateful for, in hard times especially, then it looks brighter. Shalom, shalom dear friend. amen

Jesse, shalom shalom with His power to free us from all cirs]cunstances. I read - quietly - some of the poems of struggles, mostly financial. I hesitated to say empty words of support (even as I am praying for your BREAKthrough in His Love) amen

It's just funny to me. When I'm poor I don't have much that goes wrong but it's like the moment I get money in my hands the Well Pump goes "um, hey buddy... I"m going to break okay?"
