This is another reason why those god damn Disney Pampered Punk Ass Prissy Princesses must die. From child hood we girls are taught that love is everything.
love does not put food on the table
love does not pay the car note
love does not keep the electricity on
Money does that.
Now before I start coming across as a heartless bitch that I probally am I will say that money can't buy everything... Things like love and respect the MOST IMPORTANT things in life are priceless and they can not be bought for money. But money sure can help.
It is so much easier to say "I love you too" when you are warm and fed instead of hungry and sitting on a New York street corner in the middle of winter.
Even as I write this there is that little voice in my head screaming blasphemer!!! how dare you betray the immortal words of Lennon... "All you need is love"
Love and respect goes a long way. Its the foundation of the house, the furniture, the walls, but financial security is the roof. If you don't have one you'll be fucked when the first big storm sets in. And all you will be thinking about when hail the size of baseballs are falling on your head is getting out and into some shelter.
By Financial Security I don't mean a job or something just to get you by. I mean an executable plan that will carry through the long term. I don't mean benz and big houses. I mean being comfortable. I mean having enough security so that you could treat yourself to a buy one get one half off at Payless. Having enough to take nice vacations once a year or more, enough set aside so if you could not work for 6 months you would not be stressing or breaking your back. And I mean having enough security that you don't have to depend on you unborn children to take care of you in 60 years.
If you don't have that roof when it rains all your furniture gets fucked up, the wall paper starts to curl up, paint chips, the floorboards warp all out of shape. But on the other hand if you just have a roof then you walking around crushed and bent out of shape cause you have to keep bending over and you keep hitting your head on the rafters.
It takes both.
I'm coming out of one hell of a storm
and I didn't abandon the house and it is very very much intact
I got some wood and some nails and a bad ass hammer
and i'm ready for business
but ill be damned if im the only one fixing the roof!!!!
