Is Money Really This Disruptive????

I can't help but revert back to stories concerning mental health and the economic crisis. It astounds me the reaction and actions people are having at the thought of being poor. Everyday we see people who are not well off and manage to get through everyday life, so what is so different with the so called wealthy? The whole reason people have money is because they prepared and planned properly or maybe you are one of the few lucky people and are a "trust fund baby."

The first time a big economic crisis came about I was not even thought of. Secondly, if the people I deal with on a daily a basis at work (many are very wealthy) are a sample of what these stories are being based on I have to tell you many of these folks already had issues. I think it is insulting to constantly read stories about how because the stock market has crashed many people have lost their minds. I'm hear to tell you some wealthy people are already mentally unstable and the current conditions of our economy has nothing to do with it.

So many people who have money become consumed with it. The money has a hold on them that they is really unexplainable. Not to sound uncaring but many are suffering from depression and many other psychological issues that stem deeper than money. Every time I hear of someone dying or someone killing because they think the loss of a job is the end of the world it's sad but there were already some deeper issues. I know the old say that "money is the root to all evil," but if does it have to be. As I have mentioned in many posts if you feel yourself slipping please get help. There is so much to live for and money is not the end of the world.
