Making Money

Is that title clear enough?

OK, well forget it for now. You dont want money. I have said this before but it is very relevant now and I am going to say it again: You Dont Want Money.

You want what money gets you: food, shelter, security …. the basic survival stuff but also better education and health care, funds to contribute to those things you want to support, resources to go off into the world and explore and learn. Etc. Etc.

Yes, money is useful BUT considering that an obsession with more and more money, greed in the most insidious sense of the word, is what got us into this mess we are currently in here in the first month of 2009, we need to REALLY think about what is important to us and our lives beyond money.

Get back to the values that (most of us) were brought up believing: integrity, an honest days work for an honest wage (or, in my verbiage, an equitable exchange of value), family, giving back, etc.

More on this later. And more on making money too (oh yeah, forgot that this is where I started).
