Money , women and power

The topic is way too familiar. Why did I choose to talk about it? Well I just feel like this generation keeps moving further away from ‘being human’ and putting so much value on money to the extent of forgetting that what truly matters is love and support. Again that’s a familiar phrase ‘all you need is love’ .but is that all you need?  Financial stability is something women look for in a man but personally I don`t think you should put too much weight on it. At the end of the day for a marriage to work it takes not just love but you have to like the person as well. Vicious fights about not earning enough is only going to hurt the relationship and we all know that no matter how many times you apologize, words can never be taken back. Where am I going with this? Let me just tell you why I started to write this. My mother is someone who cares about money a lot, and I mean I whole lot. Everything is about money with her. And yes, she did have a point when she said that my guy should have a decent job. But he doesn`t have to be a millionaire! We don`t need the latest iphone and several cars!  As long as we can have the freedom, love, support  each other in what we feel passionate about in life (meaning work) I know we will be happy. Happiness is not something that should be measured from the type of car you drive or the type of house you live in. Let me take my two cousins  for example (female and very good looking). They both broke up with their guys because of money issues. They were not beggars! They were stable men from decent  families  and they simply called it quits because of petty money issues. Is that love? I wonder how  they  would feel if those guys dumped them saying they are not rich enough. Parents play a major role in these too, yes from their point of view they want them to have a richer life, but if you come to think of it, they themselves started off with something lesser and worked for 30yrs or so to get where they are now. Expecting a son-in-law/daughter-in-law with several cars and houses is simply crazy! If they truly love each other let them start their lives, be happy for them and support them if necessary. Life is just too short to be arguing about these petty issues. You will die alone anyway, if you think about it the chances of you being alone is more than the chances of you finding someone that you actually like and love(and return that love). So when you do find that person, set aside petty money issues and experience love! And parents please understand that you can`t expect every guy in their late 20s to have the latest Hybrid! Don`t forget your past. Respect love. If parents teach their kids that success is measured by happiness and love and not the latest car that you have, most of us will be in much better places by now.
