32/365

It slightly bothers me (not that I should be bothered with my bothered-ness) that there are kids who just go out and squander their parents' money and think it's all cool because their parents are well-off and by using the transitive property (ah, Math. *imagines reader turn green*), they're rich as well.

So yeah, if you're one of those people (I could also be talking to myself with this one -- who knows?), I'd like to tell you one thing. It's not yours. The money you're spending. The money you believe is yours just because it was deposited under your name. It's. Not. Yours.

That's the money your parents slaved their asses off because they want you to experience the luxuries they weren't able to grow up with. Sure. Spend. But spend wisely. Use the money but don't use it too much. Moreover, know where everything came from and give a piece of gratitude back.

Just because you're an heir to a multi-billion company doesn't give you the right to buy everything in sight. It's not yours unless it came from you.

I'm not making much sense, I guess.
