I like money.

But they said it's the root of evil. 🙂

Sorry, get your facts straight.

The love of money is the root of evil.

I don't love money.

I like money.

Yes, there's a difference.

And I'll prove it.

Walk with me.

What does it mean to 'love' something?

It's more than simply enjoying it. When you love something, you develop a deep attachment to it. It becomes important to you. You invest your time, energy, thoughts and sometimes even your identity into it.

When you love something, losing it actually hurts.

You make sacrifices for it.

You rearrange your life around it.

You don't just want it.

You 'need' it to feel whole.

Now, what does it mean to 'like' something?

You enjoy it.

You appreciate it.

You find it useful or appealing.

But it doesn't control your life.

You can enjoy it without becoming completely attached to it.

And that's exactly how I feel about money.

Pay close attention to the difference.

When I say I like money, I'm not saying money should control my life.

Money is good.

I won't lie.

Money is very, very good.

It can literally move you from nothing to the main deal.

It can change your environment, give you opportunities, solve problems and make life significantly easier.

Money can transform my life.

But that doesn't mean I love it so much that I'll literally do anything for it.

Brrrr.

What will I tell my children? 😭

How will I explain to my cuties that mommy got her money from sleeping with different men?

Or scamming her fellow humans or grinders?

NEVER.

There has to be a line.

And I've seen people I know very well change drastically because of money.

People I used to know suddenly became people I couldn't recognise anymore.

That's how destructive the obsession with money can become.

It starts controlling you.

Then it starts controlling how you think.

Then your decisions.

Then your values.

And before you know it, you're no longer using money.

Money is using you.

And that's where the problem begins.

Money isn't everything in life.

Please, have God too.😩

Don't make money more important than God.

NEVER.

So if I tell you I like money, please don't look at me like I'm the devil herself.

'The love of money is the root of evil.'

I just happen to like the thing.😂

Yes, argue with your keyboard.

Or better still, argue with me in the comments. 😂

Anyways, thank you for sticking with me.

But jokes aside....

Learn from this;

Don't allow money to control you.

You should be the one controlling it.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
