As I have blogged before, this global recession is hell on everybody. People getting laid off are now faced with bleak prospects on how to cope with everyday demands. For those of us who want to live a simple life are now living the frugal life because what was once enough can now make ends meet now. When times go bad, it really changes everything. When I hear Cyndi Lauper's song "Money Changes Everything", it reminds of how money really changes everything about how we live.
All I wanted was to live my dreams in a simple and quiet life. These days I'll be glad to settle for quiet and everytime, I hear talk about increase in the bills,I really get depressed. I realize too late that the simple life is also the frugal life and that is so true when you have to take care of other people. You'll be lucky if once you give all, things quiet down. Unfortunately, there are times when somethings strikes out from the blue and the balance has collapsed.
These days people are doing all that they can to make ends meet, let alone earn a little extra to get back what they have lost. Whether it's a part time jobs, selling commodities, even using the internet for web design, pro-blogging and online writing or getting another job or going abroad, people are doing all that they can to make ends meet. The sad part is that even if you do accumulate a lot of cash, you'd be too bone-tired to spend it or it just goes to paying all the bills. It stinks but as much as we want to live our ideal life, reality really hits us hard. In the end, money does matter, but just don't let it be the most important thing in life.
