Inconvenience of Spending

It’s really too bad.  

I’ve little to say about money tonight - 

lack of, 

too much of, 

just enough to cover the bills, 

play money, .......

Life does go on for most - 

despite the inconvenience of little money at a time of financial crisis.

It is, however, merely that - an inconvenience,

possibly greater for some than others. 

In a society of convenience, 

crisis for general society, may be

losing, and having to replace, one's keys, 

not being able to purchase a chosen brand name, 

having to wear clothing for a bit longer than fashionable, 

walking or taking a bus instead of driving.

Debt however, becomes

much more than an inconvenience.

Debt can be accompanied 

by deep feelings of shame,

feelings of less than,

not good enough.

Debting - it’s own drive train

with need for societies conveniences

the fuel for the engine.

“Do not accustom yourself to consider debt only 

as an inconvenience: you will find it a calamity.”

~ Samuel Johnson
