There’s no getting away from the fact that money is pretty essential to us all so I’m not saying it isn’t important because we all know that without money, life wouldn’t be all that great.

But there’s lots of things that money can’t help you achieve so I thought I’d share some of them with you today so next time you’re feeling the pinch a little (or a lot) you might feel a little bit better thinking about the things that you do have rather than focusing on what you don’t.

Easier said that done, but worth a try!

Money won’t….

Buy people’s respect

Find friends that will stand by you through thick and thin

Make someone love you unconditionally

Give you that feeling of total pride and love that you get when you look at your children

Keep you healthy and germ free

And it can’t….

Give you that warm and fluffy feeling you get when you do a good deed for someone

Stop you from feeling lonely

Make you smile when someone smiles at you for no reason

Make you feel all nice when your dog looks at you with total love and trust

Give you a perfect figure that no amount of dieting will achieve

It won’t even….

Feel as good as new bed feeling

Make you as happy as you feel when you look at your children finally asleep after a very long day

Give you the feeling of accomplishment when you do something you didn’t think you could do

Help you get a good night’s sleep

Feel anywhere near as good as blasting your favourite song and singing along like a loon.

And finally,

It won’t make you happy!*

(*Although I do admit that it will certainly make life easier)
