Money is like water. It can be either beneficial or dangerous. Water is essential. Our bodies are roughly sixty percent water. We need it for drinking, bathing and laundering. Yet water can be devastating. You can drown in it. It can seep into your walls and floors and destroy them. It can flood your streets and take out your neighborhood. Too much water can cause problems.
Money is essential. We need it to pay for food, shelter and medical care. But too much of it can be troublesome. It can lead to excessive self gratification, drug and alcohol abuse, greed and shattered relationships.
Don’t obsess over money. You can drown in it if you’re not careful.
