Money is so overrated

I have always thought about this most of my life, but recently been thinking about it more and more. Why is everyone in this world have different money situations. Thats the best way I could think of saying it! lol but you have poor people, middle class, rich, and famous people. What makes anyone one of us different or deserve more than others? Now dont get me wrong I think Doctors, Scientists, police, and fireman deserve to make alot of money because they actually make a difference in this world. If you really want to think about it though none of them really make as much as they should. But then you have singers, actors, foot-ball, basketball players and porn stars that make millions of dollars a year, are you serious? I have always wanted to be a singer! lol but I dont have a good voice. Whats makes them any different from me you know? What gets me the worst are the athletes they get all this money for throwing a ball in a hoop ext. You have people out here struggling in there every day lives, just trying to make ends meet, then you have people that never have to worry about money in there lives and live a high class life, get to travel everywhere, and never have to worry about having enough money for there childs college education or anything. I think my point is why are some people born with some type of talent and some not? It doesn't make any since to me. What makes them any more special then more or my neighbor. All Im saying is I wouldnt even want to be a millionare or anything just to have a comfortable life where I dont have to worry about anyting financially either just like all of them.
What made me think to write this is there is a coach bag at the mall that I absolutly fell in love with but its 400 dollars which is crazy!! for a bag, but I loved it and wanted it, and knew I couldnt get it because that would be totally selfish of me for one, we definatley couldnt afford it. Also I knew I really didnt need it neways I have plenty of purses. I could find alot more useful things to buy with 400 dollars! That gets to my point again if that was a famous person 400 dollars isnt anything to them because they have 10,000 dollar bags. But to me thats a whole lot of money for 1 thing!!

Are there any honest people left in this world?

About 2 months ago my husband and I needed to buy a car, due to some financial problems. So we looked into a dodge stratus. It was from a private seller. We met with him for a good 2 hours, and I really trusted him. He said nothing was wrong with the car it had no oil leaks, everything worked great. Craig test drove it everything seemed to be fine. It looked like it had been kind of "pimped" out! haha but Craig absolutley fell in love with it. even though I didnt know how to drive a stick shift at the time, I went for it right along with him, since he loved it so much. We didnt have it for even 2 days and more was wrong with the car then what it was worth! Well last week I was driving and the cluth goes out right in the middle of the road. Let me tell you not having a car is horrible, I have had to bum rides for a week, and not to mention my dryer went out the previous day. So no matter how much you trust someone be super smart when buying a car because there are so many scam artists out there, that will tell you anything.
So today I went and looked at a Mazda, it seems really nice, clean engine, I just have to go back and test drive it tomorrow and see how it runs. That experience made me a wiser shopper! Dont go by just the looks they dont matter look in the inside very closely!
