Money. What is the affect of it?

Have you ever stopped to consider the effects your monetary status has on your family? It truly is quite interesting to come to understand. It isn’t necessarily better to have a ton of money, but it also isn’t wonderful to be poor. In each circumstance you have different trials that come your way. For today’s example we are going to look a little more in depth to see what these issues are!

First, if you are very wealthy, it seems like a dream. You always want to win the lottery big so you can have a lot of money but sometimes this can be more of a curse than a blessing. When you have the money to go anywhere you want and do anything you want it isn’t always good for your relationships with your families. It has been observed that a lot of the well off families hire Nanny’s to take care of their children while they work or go have fun around town. This seems really nice. You get to enjoy your time around town without the trials of crying or screaming children, but what effect does this really have on your kids. Think back to your childhood. Who was your childhood. Who was your favorite person to be around. In my case it was definitely my mother. My siblings still tell stories of my crying if my mom left the room and frantically trying to find her. She would have just left to change the laundry or get some food out of our storeroom but I panicked every time. This was because mom was my best friend. She kissed my scratches better and always made me laugh and smile. She was around me constantly. If you are never around your children, who will they turn to for comfort when they are sad? Most often it is the Nanny, or a teacher. This is because the kids are comfortable with them. They know they will be taken care of and protected from the monsters under their beds. This puts strain on your relationship, and you don’t know what to do. The best thing is to make sure you are a part of their lives. Put away some of the distractions that interrupt family time and focus on them. Watch them grow up and change. There also are good things that come from having money. Your kids will have amazing opportunities and schooling which will help with their life when they move out.

Now, what happens when you are in the bottom of the class with money? Honestly, it can be pretty similar to those with lots of money with a few changes. The parents have to work and so they don’t get to spend very much time with their children. The kids also look out to others for feelings of affection and help, but it often is other kids going through situations similar to theirs and they lose some respect for their parents. This isn’t intentional but they are oftentimes basically raising themselves at home alone and don’t feel like they need any help. They also will often run into problems with their education. They won’t have the means to go to college and are generally stuck with a high school diploma as the highest amount of schooling they will get. It can be pretty frustrating to feel stuck like this. They often will follow the path that their parents made despite desires to progress and have a better life.



These examples I gave are generalizations. They aren’t necessarily true for each family because as we all know each family situation is unique with unique individuals. This is the basic pattern for both situations but of course will change due to each circumstance.
