Financial worries

Money is a terribly worrying thing. But I have resolved to not be a worry-wart this year, so I shall not grumble about not having enough just yet. Money comes, money goes. I shall not stress over it as long as I have 20k in my bank. Once it dips below that, then I shall start getting panicky.

I was reading in the papers about this 74-year-old German billionaire who threw himself in front of a running train because his business hasn't been looking too hot in the recent past. And then there's this whole fiasco over at Satyam -- son of farmer becomes top corporate honcho becomes fraud.

Money is a terrible evil. Too much trouble. Most crimes are also caused by money. I wish we could all go back to growing cauliflowers and clobbering mammoths on the head for meat. Okay, so maybe cavemen drag cavewomen by their hair, but maybe that's not such a bad thing.

But I don't think cavepeople grew cauliflowers.
