has greed taken over

I think people have got much greedier everyone is paronid about money or the lack of when we did not have money things were easier people were happier one could borrow a pound or two till Friday came its the way lots of us lived we were more understanding of those that were short often what would be given was only small but meant so much now its credit cards money orders direct debits it would drive you to drink and now we have banks with no staff we had no phones but when you rang someone you would get a reply no they gave us mobile and say its the way forward id rather go back to being getting an answer and chargers everytime you look its dying my god take me back to the 60 s and 70 s any day was better no air bag lights to contend with no electric windows to break cars that yo could attempt to fix not like new ones much to tricky you would not know where to look

How about next time putting some punctuation for easier reading? :)
And I don't think 'when we did not have money things were easier'
Imagine you are sick and no money to go hospital or you want to study further but no money to pay for tuitition... In my opinion, got as much money as easier however it is right that got much money doesn't guarantee that we will be happy. I think happy is nothing relative to money, it's about how people's definition.

Laid back and caring have nothing relative to money in my opinion.
It's about people personality mostly, I think.

I think jj we were far easier pleased in the days when we had less .. and now that we have more, theres just no pleasing us atall sometimes...wouldn't you think that would be the other way around

The less we have,the more difficult it would be to pls us..
and the more we have the easier it should be instead

Some people have gotten so greedy even more so them that have it compared to them that don't..its cheaper to burn a dead horses remains then pay a vet to dispose of them in a more proper manner.

It has been long time I don't have to use bus for moving but I remember when I was a student, I used bus almost everyday and it was crazy when someone smoked next to me. I could immediately either walked away or changed bus. When I grown up, people asked me what is my ideal/dream boyfriend/husband I would like to have, my answer was 'non-smocking' :)

Very interesting blog, and great comments. i agree with it all, i do smoke but i have respect for those who don't. I have notice over the years the more you make at a job the more you spend, some because you have to to support your family, and some because you want to keep up with the neighbors or your on selfish desires. i have heard some very good comments

Johnjim, I believe in the Bible it says the rude of all evil is the love of money, not money. I have learned to live with in my own means. But have seen many people who are having a hard time of living because of the lack of money. this is not greed it is the lack of not having means to survive

Johnjim. I must say I do believe in the bible but I must also say I don't understand all of it. Yes things are bad all over the world, but me myself have to have faith in what is and what is to come, and hope it is well for all

just noticibg that banks are robotising themselves.
I dont like it.
I much prefer to use the desk and deal with people.
I did complain about this once and was told off by one staff,
telling me to join the queue for the machines.
I do not see this has progress.
DONT LIKE IT AT ALL.
I dont mind the robots being used in kitchen, for space , for science and medical purposes.
but definitely not in banks.
