I Confess
I want to be filthy rich. I know I said it doesn’t matter a whole lot but that’s a lie. “Money is the root of all evil” No it’s not. Assholes are the root of all evil. Money just makes it easy for assholes to afford expensive asshole toys.
Why would becoming wealthy be bad? “Money makes people forget the value of friendship”. Correction: Money allows you to find out how much will it exactly take to have a ‘friend’ sell his/her soul. Otherwise you’d always be guessing. Money digs up relatives you didn’t know existed. Even Ancestry.org doesn’t have that reach.
Just having a lot of money makes a lot of people work for you for free. Try that when you’re counting pennies for the bus fare.
“Money can’t buy me love” But simply dangling it will get you plenty of love and affection, and volunteers. It will turn people into puppets, and you don’t even have to ask them. They’ll even do Shakespeare.
“You’ll never find true love when you have money because the wrong kind will always be after you.”
Well…I’ve always fallen for the wrong kind, so it will just be a change in the direction of motion. The best part about that: Multiple choices.

We all know.. that’s just poor people’s excuses for not having money. And it takes only a little bit of money to make them forget all that

I mean…I don’t want a whole lot, you know. Just a few billion dollars!

Money doesn’t buy you love or happiness… but it makes life a sod of alot easier
Case in point, my current predicament, 37 weeks pregnant, not supposed to spend more than a couple of hours in a car, contemplating another five hour schlep to Wales… If I was sufficiently wedged up, I’d just hire a plane and do the trip in an hour.
Yeh. It oils the wheels for deffo and if you’re just normal and er… dare I say this… keep it real people aren’t necessarily going to notice you are quietly loaded. It’s when you get ostentatious with it that you start to draw in the scummers…
Good luck my friend, I’m still looking for that elusive first million, trouble is, in the arts it’s not what you’re good at, it’s your luck that counts!
Good luck, my friend!
Cheers

Thanks, V! Confessin’ is good for the soul!
I’ll need all the luck, BC, because I’m going for it no matter what.
p.s. Looks like it’s open season on smiley faces from me.
