I could use my money to buy luxuries, sure
But even with possession of material comforts I cannot ensure
That I would be able to find
That elusive peace of mind
That I would be able to have backup plans
For emergencies, when circumstances get out of hand
At that time material objects would not give me
The much needed feeling of security..
*
Therefore my hard-earned money I spend
On intangible things that my peace of mind can extend
Thus insurance policies I buy, and pay
Their hefty premiums so that on a rainy day
I have a cover to protect my entire family
I know peace of mind does not come for free..
*
To free up more time in my day, I try
If possible, the luxury of time I buy
For services I am willing to pay
A higher price any given day..
*
Life is too precious to be spent in worry
Or in trying to finish chores in a hurry
Money is the means to achieve an end
To be able to live life the way I intend..
