Money Money Money


Let's talk about money. I know I am not the only one who is either thinking about it, planning ways to make it or to make more of it, or is being asked by friends or family members to lend them money.

Money is money, period! And we all could use a little more of it. I received a text message from a friend asking me to lend her some money, and I felt sad that I was not able to help her. And my heart feels some type of way when  a single mother is in a financial need. And no, she is not one of those people that just asks for money and does not pay back. She is hard working, juggling between a job that's not paying her well and her own businesses (tailoring and catering) and raising her daughter without any financial assistance from 'the dad'. This is when I wish Tanzania microfinance services were easy to access. People like my friend deserve all the financial help they can get, especially from institutions that are established for hard working small businesses looking to get somewhere in this world and provide for their families and pay taxes.

So as I was feeling bad about the money issues my friend is facing and me not being able to help, I went to a library a few hours later and guess what, the worse money temptation came knocking. And I say worse because I was broke-ish and all of a sudden I came across a wallet with lots of cash in it and I had to debate about my broke-ness vs my morals and spiritual beliefs. 

True story! I was at the library yesterday and decided to change seating position so as to have access to a power outlet to charge my laptop, I dropped my earphones, and as I picked them up I saw a wallet and it looked like it belongs to a man. I picked it up and started looking for the owner's IDs. I found his DL and a school ID, and before thinking any further I pulled out my phone and sent him an email that I have his wallet and he should call me. Then it hit me that I am returning a wallet full of cash and all these cards both debit and credit when I am broke-ish. I literally laughed at myself because I realized I can't cheat my beliefs in this area. And in case you are wondering, I did not take a penny, nada! 

Money man, money is a funny thing. You work hard for it and have no fun. Or have fun but make less money. 

Regardless of how money plays a part in our lives, it does not hurt to know we can reach out to people or financial institutions for a little assistance when in need, just so that we don't feel powerless and stuck.

  13. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to
    .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year

    of the very best in its field. Good blog!
