How to solve your
money problems

Money isn't everything
When one is confronted with pecuniary difficulties, one often tends to believe that, without money, one can't do anything and that life isn't worth living. Now this tendency, once carried too far, proves to be completely erroneous. One must be honest and lucid to recognize that money doesn't condition everything and does not buy everything either. Without money, one can perfectly take advantage of the various pleasures that life profusely offers us — the beautiful spectacle of a sunset, the harmonious song of a bird, reunions, news from a dear one, the smile of a child — all such joys are not to be bought. It's not necessarily with money that one can enjoy good health, have a good appetite, find sincere love and friendship. Mother Teresa was repeatedly astonished to see people in India, who lived in absolute destitution, so cheerful and so optimistic, and people in rich Europe so anxious and so unhappy. Aristotle Onassis's whole colossal fortune was unable to prevent him from dying of cancer at a relatively young age; it had no power either to incite his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy-Bouvier, to shed some tears at his death.
It's advisable not to mix everything up when one has to struggle with his money problems. Sorting things out should be one of the first steps to make, because this step helps you to find or to recover your necessary serenity and fighting spirit.
