Froggie Thoughts: Finances!
Every month on the first Wednesday, my disability payment gets deposited into my bank account. I log on to the account page and see the money in there and for a brief moment, I am happy. I think to myself, “I have money! If I wanted to, right now, I could buy that guitar I want.” Okay, now it’s time to pay the bills. I proceed to fulfill my financial responsibilities and pay all of the giant billion dollar institutions who demand my monthly pittance. I feel good that I am reducing my debt and being responsible. After this little bill paying ritual is done, I head back to my bank account to see the damage. I can no longer afford the guitar. And now my thought is, “I have no money! I hope I can buy food!” But it was nice for that brief moment to fantasize about all that money I used to have and what I would do with it.
