Money Talk Matters

When the story first came out in our local news, I could not believe it. Unfortunately, what some people call “love” makes them do crazy things – should not resort to illegal activity.

Story is titled Ex-tax worker says she stole $11 million for love. At the end of the day, she stole the money and was giving it to him. Of course, he was married. She was using the money to lure him from his wife.

I must ask this question: Why do people lose their “NATURAL” mind when it comes to money and what they perceive as love? As a result of this lady’s actions, she is serving a 24 yr prison term. She doesn’t get him. He is on trial now for theft, forgery, racketeering, etc. Before you ask – sure they have turned on each other.

The actions of both individuals have already affected more than just him. Apparently in the story it says he was paying child support. So there will be a child that is not seeing a parent. Once again, there’s a wife that will be dealing with consequences based on husband’s actions.

These stories are heartbreaking because a lot of people are being hurt in the end. Not just the immediate people involved. Do not let money control you and cause you to commit crimes, reck families and put you in danger.

Tip: You should control money – not be controlled by money.
