....Money, its a crime. Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie. Money, so they say Is the root of all evil today.

The largest controller in the world at this time is money.
We slave away for it, go to great lengths to get it store it in mattresses and special building with walls more secure than the buildings where our young are born.
Money can either liberate or enslave as it has for thousands of years. Those of us that don't have it work for those that do.
I posted an excerpt from the lyrics to Pink Floyd's song "Money" as my title to help me gain slight perspective.
See the problem with money is that it's ever fleeting, it's always grounded in uncertainty.
And it's always controlled by those unseen.
Or is it?
The truth is we are one of the wealthiest generations ever. Compared to the rest of the world we can buy what we want and need (not necessarily in that order).
And the truth is very few of us are not captive to greed.

I pose the question what is work worth and whats is really the value of money?
I mean it's paper or metal and sometimes it's not even that... for instance. The stock market is a trade in shares and stocks. Digital numerals that aren't guaranteed to have any physical backing whatsoever.
Not trying to knock our system of trade, but simply trying give a realistic view of the thing we spend most of our day obeying.

Where do you place your wealth?
