Debt Free

Money is vital as it used in purchasing various needs in life. However, we should not make money our single  most priority as well as our source of happiness. 

I enjoy listening to Jesse Jane's song, price tag. The lyrics goes like this:

Seems like everybodys got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night.

When the tale comes first, And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and Smile
Why is everybody so serious!
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good Time.

Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that 
Well pay them with love tonight...

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world change,
Forget about the Price Tag.
Ain't about the (ha) Ka-Ching Ka-Ching.
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world change,
Forget about the Price Tag.

My jetski emailed me a simple reminder of how better life would be if we learn to live within our means and avoid having debts --no matter how big or small it may be.
