Today, I think how would one survive on that money? Everything is just SO expensive. Fuel alone is abt R2500++ a month and now I'm being conservative. I dont buy drugs or alcohol.
SO, where does the money go???? Just seems like there is never any extra and if there is a bit over then it's spent on my car.
Definately feeling the rapidly increasing inflation. Who else feels this way?
I'll probably get a lot of flack but its the truth, sex money, gambling money anything else in that dirty money trade there's no worth no blessings. Your money will run like water.
A legit hard earn money there's blessing in it. I experience the same.
My theory, the older you get the more your financial responsibilities become the further you have to spread your salary, cars, household bills, school fees etc...
Plus your tastes get more expensive, food, drinks, clothes, holidays
Hence why its doesn't seem to stretch as far
That and we always look back with roes tinted spectacles

A couple of years back I was working as a Receptionist at a Time Share Resort. My basic salary was R5000 (after tax) plus we got overtime and commission. Which would work out R6500 Plus a month. Accommodation was included. With that little money I was able to live rather nicely. We had a weekly Friday night jol at the GM house, everybody chipped in for drinks and food. Every second weekend I'd go to the nearest city to visit BFF and we had a fat party. Every payday I would still have money in my account..... Ok, granted back then I didn't have a car or a cat (My two major expenses).

It doesn't go anywhere. It was never there to begin with.
Money is not real, its a fabrication like everything else in this world. Chase after money and you will never catch it.
Walk away from money and it will chase you.

Jake is right. Our responsibilities change over time.
Kids, family, pets etc are not things we spent on in our younger years with far less money.
I'm too of that, we didn't spend in grudge purchases like insurance and medical aid etc because we most likely couldn't but there things are important and expensive when we're older.

Lol if you really want to know the truth..there is no blessing in dirty money.

It also refers to money gotten via honest means. Money earned via an honest livelihood is "halaal money".
Money earned selling drugs is not halaal money.
And you will be always out of luck with money which is not halaal. No blessings.
BTW Raspberry coulis is perfectly halaal.

Unfortunately I can't agree with your statement. Very harsh thou. We might do a unethical job, but MOST do it for ethical reasons. I still play lotto EVERY WEEK in hope to win enough to buy this home I'm living in as it's my only option to work from. I also financially support my parents. Times are tough and I bet if any of us could have it any other way, we would not be here. Not because we don't want to, but because we don't need to. So the money I work for (sorry to say ) isn't dirty money. I put my ALL in every treatment. I work for my money. It's society that crusify us for what we do. Society on its own can also be a cult. As they force "ethical" principles on other people. For what is ethical to one person isn't necessary to another. If you can say a thank you prayer at night, and you can actually "live" with your conscious, and don't have sleepless nights, then it's all that matters.
