" Your Relationship to Money "

Your name is 424242, Now that is a ridiculous title. What is a relationship with any thing? A boy and a girl have a relationship. What does that mean? They both want spend some time with each other, so they first have to agree on a few things.

He is not allowed to do anything with out her knowledge or approval, He can’t be trusted, but she can ! If he has an idea, she has to approve of it. She tells him what she is going to do after she does it. He says, Ah….., okay. She gets one night a week with her friends, boys and girls. He gets to stay home and fix things. She says, I’ll call you at eight, and he waits until eleven thirty and there is no call. When he asks why, She says “Sorry” then he says Okay!

It’s not all one sided, he gets to put his arms around her and hold her along with a kiss or two. All of a sudden, She has a light head ache, so he takes her home early. He has no idea what is going on, when he asked her that question and she said “Yes” He didn’t know what to do, he had struck gold and is all thumbs. Little does he know, he just signed a contract. Now if he don’t he toll the line, she will cry Date rape.

Time passes and they make plans to marry, but before that he has to agree to a whole list of things, of which he does. She and her mother make all the arrangements and he has to takes out a bank loan. They select a church for the wedding, he wanted a justice of the peace. He wanted a small wedding. Her mother invited a thousand people and he only knew three of them. This is when he learned that Mother was going on the honey moon with them. He bought a small hand gun. He is thinking of mother having an accident. now and is on the right track. But should he do it with a gun?

At the bank they open two accounts, a joint account for him and her and one for her and her mother. She says they will live with mother until they can afford a home of their own. Now that there are three of them in the house, Mother wants a maid and that means he is going to pay for her. He will ride the bus to and from work as she and mother will be needing his car for shopping. One half of his earnings will go into the joint account and the other half will go into her and mother’s account. You can’t lose, it is win - win for you! But you have been through this before, Remember that bridge you bought in California?

Your wife and her mother want to go to Paris, France on a vacation shopping thing. But they can not leave you at home alone with the maid. Maybe they will have to take her with them!

Isn’t it wonderful how they can afford to go to Paris on your salary and you are only a fifth line bookkeeper. You better hope that your books are not audited any time in the near future. You have to remember, Marriage is an Institution and your Institution has every thing but the high wall around it, but keep on working and, you will get that too, but it will be a wall with guards.

It would have been better to have had a dollar or two in your, pocket and call them friends, than to go for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It was thought that you knew better than to believe in fairy tales. But take a good look at yourself, you are a Man who is going for a big head ache and it will get worse.

If I were you, I would break some laws, like the high government officials do and have to serve your time in one of them special prisons.

Those places like the Land of Oz, Sherwood forest, or Fantasy Land, No longer exist, This is December 2010. If you don’t gamble, you can’t win………..
