" What we must decide is perhaps how we are valuable rather than how valuable we are." Edgar Z. Friedenberg
I had sent a letter to my mom asking her if she could send me some money to help me cover my rent next month. Also letting her know that if she couldn't, I would understand and find another way. I got a check yesterday to cover my rent but with a note asking me to pack my bags and move back home. I would be insane to do that.

The only reason she wants me to come and live with her for free is to take care of her. Who's going to take care of me when I'm her age? Not her. That the old folks way of thinking down home. They believe that if they leave you anything after they are gone, that you have to earn the reward by sacrificing your life for theirs. They have old folks homes for that.
It has been a bit tough for me to save money to fly home because I have to save at least $2500 to cover my flight, meals, all my bills covered, plus one weeks wages. They would prefer I go home every year, if it was possible for me. So much for what I want to do with my money. I haven't been home in five years because I don't miss the gossip and constant complaining that everyone talks about on a daily bases. It get's very depressing.
It sure makes me want to save my money to do something for myself. I have never been anywhere on a real vacation. Just because I don't like going places by myself. I've been considering getting a new vehicle. If my job that I'm at right now, turns out well, and I start making $13 to $14 an hour in a few weeks, I may consider getting selling my truck. I have been reading in my book about what a fool archetype does and I have to stay on top of these patterns, because they will keep destroying me financially.
"The Fool also set's out to conquer the world but is easily distracted and lacks the discipline of the Warrior. The Fool is much more interested in making as a sport or form of recreation than a serious endeavor. Fools would happily give the shirt off their backs only to realize later that it was their last one." The Fool archetype tries to control my money while the Victim finds the reasons for me to spend money in order to make me feel better about myself.
" Capitalism and it's underlying drive toward consumerism greatly influences the financial infrastructure of our lives and how we deal with money. Perhaps our need for money is as much about sustaining our way of life and the survival of capitalism as it is about feeding our own unconscious needs and desires."
