Is there something called Easy Money??

Money……everybody needs it nowadays....that too a lot of it. True, happiness lies only in the materialistic bliss, agreed. Hmmm ultimately…people need money.
It is not a crime or sin to be materialistic…or at least from my point of view. Can spiritualism or so called good deeds stop the cry of a baby asking for a candy??
Yes eternal bliss is required…only when we reach a certain point in our lives…now that varies for individuals.

Let me stop all the non-sense and get back to what I wanted to tell. Yes, money is important, money is necessity, and money does make us all happy. But people must know how to make money. I strongly don’t believe in religion or God, I am a humanitarian and humanity is my religion. All said and done but, yes money is important to me.

I was talking about how people must earn their money. Hard earned money always gives you the happiness when you buy something out of it. It doubles the happiness. Now I don’t want to talk about the classes of economy out here, but just the way how people want to earn money
.
I’ve been seeing this multilevel marketing, pyramid schemes, networking and lots of other stuff. I absolutely don’t know why people dig their own graves running in search of money. May be the presenter is so convincing enough to cash in people’s hard savings. Or the guy who wants you to join in is very kind enough to share his hardships with you in the quest of making easy money.

I’ve been approached a lot of times by these kinds of people. They would be my really close friends, my relatives, neighbors and lots. They take us to a place where the presenter is all in his three-piece-suit, his hair slicked back and gives us a royal treatment and trust me he is so good in speaking he had already made my aforesaid people to join in his venture.

People in their greed to earn more money, fall into traps like these. As far as I know no body has earned profits from this type of so called business. Only the person who had started the company along with his trusted agents makes billions which they promised that you will also make one day. The people in the outermost ring of the chain, or at the bottom of the pyramid or the newest in the network only make money in thousands, which would be a fraction of their investments.

But you might ask me why it is bad when there’s an opportunity to make money without working hard. You might even think this would be an investment. You might even ask what bothers me if you people could earn.

True, very true but as far as I know nothing comes without hard work, take things for example the food we eat, you cannot grow rice in one day or grow a full sized table chicken in one day. Everything needs its own time and pace to get strong enough and grow. Imagine what if your child grows into a full size adult immediately after his birth.
Even if you need a child, you’ll have to work hard in a bed…or may be even a car, whatever.

There is nothing called easy money. Easy money is just a myth and the biggest believable story in recent times after the United States Government’s quest for world peace. People must be watchful always and never fall into pits like these. We all must have taught ourselves that playing with fire is dangerous. But we have also learnt that not wearing a helmet while riding a motor cycle is fatal. Did we learn that by ourselves? I remember a saying that a wise man learns from other’s mistakes.

If you look at the statistics the entire economy of Albania went crashing because people there invested their hard earned money in these kinds of easy money making schemes and the entire wealth of its citizens went into just two people who owned these easy money returns company. It was estimated about $3 Billion which for a small poor country like Albania is 80% of its GDP.

And when these people give their presentations they talk about exponential development. You think only about yourselves, but look how many other people are investing other than you. Have you ever heard of a billionaire rising out of these kinds of schemes except for the person who has started it all?

People, if you wish for certain things that money could buy, educate yourselves. Or educate your children properly about finance along with their math and science. Now that will be an investment. Your kids will get you whatever you wished for. Instead why put your hard earned money into these kinds of pits. One thing is that this is un-ethical way of making money and the other is it kills all the human values. Every religion in the world says not to cheat your fellow beings and live one’s life with righteousness.

I had always felt that the lives we live must at benefit one other individual. My only humble request for everyone is that whenever it morning just don’t get out of your beds…WAKE UP instead.
