Garrett: All about the Money

Garrett: All about the Money: Money, Money, Money. Everyone thinks about it. People who say they dont, either have more than they know what to do with, or theyre lying. ...

I work at a diner and I'm a waitress, and all of the other workers complain to all of the waitresses saying we make so much more than them. It really annoys me because like you said they could get a different job. They could even be a waiter or waitress there. Also some of the waitresses complain that we only make 2.38 an hour but usually in tips i make about 18 an hour, so there's no reason to complain...seriously. Or waitresses complain about not getting enough tips, well thats there fault cause they are horrible waitresses. So I really do agree with you 100%

WOOF WOOF

 This morning once we had already got the class started we were stopped by a surprising announcment. One of the large men that walk around the hallways said that dogs were going to search the school. In the beggining of the year we were made aware that the dogs would be searching eventually, but we just didn't know when. So when the aanouncment was made the whole class began to chatter. No one was freaking out for real, but if you think about it anyone who actually did have drugs probably wouldn't say anything. I'm sure they are sweating right now haha.
  Personally I don't think it's a bad idea to have dogs search the school because anyone who is dumb enough to bring their drugs to school should get caught. Just leave your drugs at home. I hope you did leave them at home cause it's a little late at this point if you didn't. A lot of people do drugs; probably like more than 50% of he students at West A do drugs. But if they arn't smart enough to keep it private then they shouldn't be allowed. If you're smart about the way you handle your drugs do them all day just don't get caught.
  Good luck everyone haha

MUNY

 Money makes the world go round.

Take a second to think about all the times in your life so far that you've used money. Now take a second and think about how much you will use money when you live on your own and have a family. Without money what can you even do in life. It's a very sad fact that money controls our lives, but it's the complete truth.

Does money bring happiness?

Money can make you or break you. If you use your money right it can make you the jolliest person alive, but if you use it wrong you can become greedy and angry.

My family is middle class so we arn't making it rain, but we really don't have money problems. There has been times though where my parents have said how are we going to pay for all of this. Sometimes things happen where you need extra money that just isn't there, and if you had that money the situation would be much better. For example in 2005 my family's house was hit by huricane Ivan. That meant that we had to pretty much start from scartch and re-build our house. Thankfully we had insurance and were able to get loans to buy materials. Many people also doanted various things to us. We got through the flood, but money was tight during that time. I still think to this day what if we had all of that money and didn't have to worry about paying loans back or struggling to get by, life would've deffiently been easier for us, and a lot of stress and anguish would have been resolved. So yes for me I know money would bring happiness, maybe not so much happiness but stability.

This summer i stayed at my uncle Kevin and aunt Laura's house for two weeks. I got to travel by myself for the first time. It was really great to get away from my parents for so long. Anyways my aunt and uncle have made a great life for themsleves and their two kids. They have an amazing house on lake lenior, four beautiful cars, a boat, and more money than they know what to do with. While I stayd with them i had the best time, and i believe it was because of their money and all of the material things that they posses. My aunt Laura (who retired at 35) and I would go shopping everyday and go to really nice restraunts for lunch. Then when we got home the whole family would go out in the boat and then go out to dinner. It was seriously the life. Even though my uncle and his two sons Dennis and Aaron worked during the day; they had a beautiful house to come home to. Of course as you can imagine their has was the place whre everyone wanted to hangout at. So every night after dinner My cousin's friends came over and partied all night. Without their money none of this would be possible, and i would not have had the best vacation of my life. SO once again money can bring happiness if you use it right.
