Money

More going out than coming in!!
I am tempted at times to live in the world of HP (hired purchase) and loans from the likes of The Money Shop etc.
I know people who do live this way and they seem to manage it all very well.  Though, as tempting as this idea is at times I really don't think I could sleep easy at night, the thought of all I would owe hanging over my head like a grey cloud blocking my sun!

It seems to be our culture now, and a very acceptable one at that to live beyond our means in all ways.  So many people are living a life they can barely afford or cannot afford but juggle it all on the surface very well.

A society of consumerism, pay not matching the cost of living and taxes on practically everything has fed the giants of greed and money lenders.

Football Thoughts

Football players; over rated and over paid.

The game itself may bring people together (or give them a reason to knock the crap out of each other), give people an interest and so on but I would say is it not immoral that British Premiership football players get paid in excess of  £150,000.00 + a week?
A lot of the fans following the teams would never even see that amount of money in their lifetime!
The amount football players are allowed to get paid is wrong!  Cap it at £50,000.00 a week for goodness sake.  No one person in the world could possibly need any more than that.  There are people in the world with nothing, starving because they cannot afford to feed themselves, and I'm not talking third world countries here.
