Something to think about whilst becoming debt-free

Money can buy a house,
but not a home

Money can buy a bed,
but not sleep

Money can buy a clock,
but not time

Money can buy a book,
but not knowledge

Money can buy food,
but not an appetite

Money can buy position,
but not respect

Money can buy blood,
but not life

Money can buy medicine,
but not health

Money can buy sex,
but not love

Money can buy insurance,
but not safety

You see, money is not everything. Therefore if you have too much, please, send it to me, immediately!

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.
