[QUOTE=Davyblues;3817800]I write songs and these questions help me get inspired to write future tunes.
At the car boot sale I saw lots of people with very little money but they all smiled were polite, friendly, looked content and relaxed. Later I passed an exclusive restaurant and everyone looked hurried uncomfortable constantly on their phones bored and fake.
If you won £100 million tomorrow would it make you happy? Would it cure the blues. Would riches bring a long awaited escape from loans, stress and work would it create friends give you a chance to change the world help others or would it create a stress of who to help what to buy never needing to look at prices where to live how to dress where to eat fear of not being born into money and looking out of place tiredness and loneliness?
Is enough to get by the true richness
Cheers

Money wouldn't buy me friends, wouldn't cure my depression, wouldn't fix everything, but it would allow me to not worry about the everyday money worries. So yep. Being poor is a lot of work. Try dragging 40 pounds worth of food a block from the bus stop twice a week, or walking 1.87 miles each way to and from a barely above minimum wage job. If I smile on weekends, it's because I've caught up on my exhaustion. The poor people I know don't smile much, nope, not til the weekend.
Maybe if those people in the restaurant were ever poor for a year, they'd stop to appreciate the gift that money can be, used properly. Me, if only I had a car. But (sigh) that's life.
