Paraphrasing old Albert Einstein,
"Compound interest's man's greatest invention".
But you'll be financially in trouble,
Expecting your buying power to double,
Because he never factored in for inflation....

Troubles Around Then Will Tote

My troubles around then will tote;
Much time to destroy do devote,
Sounds familiar;
Somewhat similar,
Financially trying to stay afloat.

Jim Horn

Need an anti-dote....

An expensive strap is going to cost you
Your credit card a Lion
The chance to beat who pleasure counts
A token love for sign

Where credit keeps you occupied
for loving that means more
When snaps at night mean plots for flight
that points defile for...

I'm a rich man but not financially.
I'm rich because God loves me.
I'm a rich man because God cares.
Everywhere I go, he's always there.
I'm a rich man because God will send Jesus to resurrect me.
God loves people so much that he will let us live for all eternity....

Why do my nerves
Keep getting the worst of me
Taking me over
Bringing me down

At the worst possible time 
The worst might be true
It has to be taken into consideration
What would I do

I'm sorry 
I couldn't keep it financially
I couldn't carry to term 
then give it up 

I'd have to end it 
Before it started to begin
It would be really hard to go through
But it would have to be dealt with

I'm not running back to you...

I leave the place 
Where I first learn 
To laugh and to cry 
hungered and be tired 
To love and be love 
And to dream their dream 
Because the time ask for it 
Not to gain what I dream 
But to give what their dreams. 
I know my family need me 
To support them financially 
But I failed to gave what I keep 
By sending what their basic needs 
Because until now I'm just like my family 
Suffering from poverty....

Lately, my brain is just so fuzzy.
They say that's the norm.
But for me, forgetting drives me crazy.
Even following through with a single task,
Is nearly impossible.
There's so much left I've got to do.
And only 2 months left to do it.
I worry I won't be ready.
Physically, emotionally, mentally, or financially.
They say, you are never ready for your first,
But I'm not the type of person,
Who likes to be caught of guard....

I am plagued by blinding insanity,
Living tortured and alone; cruel fatality,
Pushing against the walls of reality,
Looking for distraction in material vanity,
Finding no solace; only a mirror of anxiety,
Some seek the answer in desperate piety,
Others seek power and excellence financially,
Or seek it in arms of lover's fantasy,
I have yet to find that intangible bliss; happy,
This is why I scribble for sanity....

reasons to live give reasons to die,
always give without asking why,
don't be hard to believe and easy to lie,
financially, it's better to sell than to buy,
laugh more than you would cry,
remember it's never a sin to try,
because low is a point of view just like high,
but highs are levels you should aim to fly,
honey is sweet so is wine,
it's wise to retreat when life is on the line,
that way you'll survive and return, 
with courage and strength combined....

No other way
---------------

Materially - I live with the past, I see no other way.
Financially – I no longer live in the past, I see no other way.

Romantically - I no longer live in the past, I see no other way
for this helpless romantic, but to live with the past, I see no other way.

In my old age – I live my life, like I did in the past, , I see no other way.
On my final journey – like throughout the past, on my own, I see no other way.
