Money

I live in a somewhat rich neighborhood, but my family is lower middle class. We are probably the poorest people in our neighborhood. We lucked out getting a house here, but we will be paying the mortgage for twenty years. I saved up money for a long time to buy this iPod Touch. We don’t have enough money to go on vacation even for a weekend, staying at a cheep hotel. All my friends have all sorts of money. My best friend is in a foreign country on a cruise. That’s her birthday present. My birthday presents have never been anywhere close to that, ever. We can’t afford it. Maybe I am just jealous, but I hate money.
