Money.. Or lack thereof

How come socialites like Paris Hilton and others like her have all the money that they could want without having to work for it, but people like myself can bust our butts day in and day out and still barely keep our heads above the surface??

For once, I would love to buy something small when I feel like it, or get a hair cut more then once or twice a year. For once, I would like to buy clothes not off the clearance rack, or buy at the retail store instead of the consignment outlet. For that matter I would love to just be able to buy clothes when I need them, not six months later.

For once, I would love to feel like a woman, not a chick wannabe. I never have had a manicure, a professional hair coloring, or an professional eyebrow shaping. It's out of my league finacially speaking. Sometimes I feel that I will never be able to get these things done, that others take for granted as part of thier routine physical care.

Not only do i wish I had the money and means for those things, I wish I could afford to do things, go places. Give something to my grandparents orphanage. Buy toys for the children's hospital. Something for the community. Get my dental work done (after paying the bill collectors for the 178 dollar bill I have had their for two years).

If I had money, I would buy my mom her dream house. I would buy my man anything he dreamed of having. (That would be kind of hard, because if he wants something, he usually gets it for himself). I would buy myself the beginnings of my own business.

I hate having a bank account forever in the hole. Having a gas tank on E, (like now), and not being able to fill it. I hate not going to class sometimes, so that I can make money to pay the bills. Sometimes I don't go though, and say I do, and just sit at the libary on campus. Or walk the mall. Or not going because of the E on my gas gauge.

At least I have a family, a loving devoted, doting man, healthy pets, and a job with a roof over my head. That's something, more then some have. I guess I shouldn't complain as much..
