No, Really? #2

I came across this VIDEO in a blog yesterday and it struck me as quite interesting. I think the artist's content speaks quite eloquently to one of the majo in the Black community faces today...Excessiveness.

There is no doubt that each of us aspires to a life free of financial woes. I know I would like nothing more than to wake each morning without one thought, as the day passes, about how I'm going to make ends meet.

When I was a little boy people would ask me what I wanted to be and at some point I just started to answer "famous". Today, I realize that then it was not "fame" that I aspired to but the financial security I perceived it to bring. At 28 years old, I would like nothing more than to be "comfortable" and all this word implies.

Comfortable ~ When I can just set-up automatic bill payment through my online banking center and feel confident that each month the funds will be there. LOL

Hopefully, when I do finally reach this point, it will be the result of the effort I put into myself and my dreams rather than some "job".

So back to the question...

No, Really?

"Do you think that celebs setup automatic bill payment online? "

better yet,

"Does Oprah even have a debit card?"

"...and exactly how much money would she actually keep in that checking account?"
