£1 sweets on a Friday!
I'm not old but, I'm defiantly feeling older. Do you remember the days where your mum would give you a pound on a Friday to go and get a bag of sweets? My brother and I would race each other to our corner shop. Obviously, I would win being a foot taller than him however, this isn't the case anymore as he's at least three feet taller than me, much faster and could pick me up with one hand now.
My brother would order chocolate buttons and I would order liquorice torpedos. The lady loved us in that corner shop and pretended to slip so more sweets fell into the scale 'oops I guess it's your lucky day'.
That pound would make our week, we felt to spoilt and so excited that my mum would take our sweets off us so that we didn't choke by inhaling them to quickly.
How I wish a pound still made me feel this happy.
Does a pound still make you feel happy?
We all just want more and more money and when we have money its not enough. That old saying of 'Money doesn't make the world go round' yes this is correct but, without it, it's very hard to live and survive.
Since leaving home I don't think I have had a day where I don't think about money or my income.
From do I buy these 20 pack of toilet rolls for an amazing £2 even though I know it will probably disintegrate before it reaches my bum to should I spend a good £100 just on cocktails. My priorities are summed up by how much money I spend and this can fluctuate quite dramatically.
When I was a teenager I couldn't wait to leave home. My mum in my eyes back then was just controlling my rebellious life and I just needed to be free. WOW, if I could go back in time and stay home longer, love my mum more and appreciate not buying stuff for myself I would.
Kids, when they say life doesn't get easier it's true. There is a reason Peter Pan didn't want to grow up. I believe there is a reason elderly people go back to there child self as to why would they want to relive their adult self when they can go back to child mode, free and fun.
Yes it gets more fun and you create some of the rules but, your still, not the rule maker as there is always something/someone out there making the rules you've got to go by and money does get you by but don't let it control you.
