When I was young, I naively thought that life was all about getting what you want and having abundance every year. But as I grew up, I realized that life had deceived me, because its true nature is that things don't go as planned, and every year I find myself running low on funds. As a child, I also looked forward to growing up, thinking that I could take control of my life and be the master of my own destiny. But when I grew up, I found that life had quietly turned me into a slave to money.
