Day 89 ~ Money

I am not winning this battle. I hope it is just an age related thing, but my teenager thinks money is the best he can hope for. Wherever we are, he makes an assessment about his surroundings: poor people, rich people; poor houses, rich houses. I can't blame only him, as the world make us believe money is a great provider. And I can't say it is only now, It has really always been so. However, I have usually detested money, particularly in the hands of those who flaunt it. And even the one in my family, I was never interested in. By age 15 my parents had told me more than once how much money I would get should they die unexpectedly. I am sure they did it so that I realized how well they had provided for me, which is commendable. However, I really couldn't care less about the life insurance amount. Somehow, I am not succeeding in instilling that in my 14-year old.
