Realizing contentment is tough
You have a lot, but there’s always more stuff
Now on the list
The New IPhone 6
Even with that, it wont be enough
You thought you were happy with 5
Now without 6 you won’t feel alive
The screen is so big
There are so many gigs
If you can’t have it, will you survive?
You realize that you have no money-
21st century gluttons are funny
“I’m broke” you say
But find money to pay
For things you don’t need… It’s baloney.
To be happy- I think we forgot
We should be satisfied with our lot
To my children I plead
Stop saying “I need”
Be thankful for all that you’ve got.

No Excess
“Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little.” – Edna Ferber
Do you agree with this statement on excess?

Camping out days in advance on the city streets just to get an iPhone 6…now that’s excess!

Agree! It’s kind of sad that something so expensive becomes obsolete in a couple of years. It gives the term disposable income a new meaning.
