Money, money, money

Money, money, money. Poverty really is a cycle, and I am just now beginning to really know it. I read a lot and reading in a way is simply a shortcut to knowledge not wisdom - you learn about things outside of your experience but sometimes you are forced to really learn later on. Parental advice is like this too. No matter how many times my parents give me simple advice I only really learn after getting burnt by making a wrong move. Reading is expanding, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day you have to live a life you are proud of instead of reading about one. Maybe someday I will really know that.
