Money Matters

Apparently the trend these days is to talk about the economy in a post. Well I am going to follow this trend and give my two cents.

First of all, I don’t fully understand all this economy stuff. I read the headlines and it seems that everyday something has dropped an insane amount of points and this is a bad thing. Okay, well what do we do about it? The answer, no one really knows. They (the government) is trying to fix the problem, but can the problem really be fixed? I don’t want to come across uninformed about the situation, but it really doesn’t directly effect me at this moment.

My philosophy on money is to have enough to be comfortable in life. If being comfortable means buying name brand everything and the ability to drop $400 on a pair of shoes, well great, I hope that you are prepared to work for that. I always seem to have just enough for the life that I have right now. I don’t have a job, I am dependent on my parents. But some day that is going to end and I will have to support myself, that means really paying attention to what I spend money on.

So for now I am not going to worry. When my sister and I were little, we were always told that we didn’t need to worry about money matters. I am so grateful that my parents did that, because I really have the rest of my life to worry about money and the economy. I am in college, I will graduate, get a kick ass PR job and enjoy life, even if I can’t afford name brands of everything, I will be happy with what I have. That is really all that matters in life, just be happy.

And buy the way, I just bought the most adorable coat from Victoria’s Secret, on SALE I might add:-)
