Don´t you want to choke the person who invented that quote?
And my guess…. I only hear it from people that have money,
well now in this situation say that to me again and smiling if you can.
I got a tent
I bent
For next month
Already slept in the stret once
Stay Frosty gents and gentesses.
CRAZY LIFE 
How about changing the quote to at times all what matters is money? Maybe that would fit in to different situations
Or…. Just follow the money
Money is everything BUT, without money, one is nothing – this is my quote as I know what it is like to me without money or sufficient funds to tide one over. I hope you can find shelter and or there is government support to help you Charlie. And I agree with you that whoever who penned that quote has enough money!
The root of all evil and the 1%
It is the root of all evil, but I guess we as humans are complicit, we do want that money and screw the others if need be.
It is basic human behaviour, might as well say that if we as humans are evil by nature we created this currency (although there are good people out there)
I don’t jump over people’s backs to get ahead, that’s why I’m still poor and a starving artist giving away my art for free…
We got something in common then, although I could say my writing is art
Writing is an art
You and your writing are art.
After that sentence you have to buy me a meal.
Starving artist remember. Maybe if I ever hit 50 patrons on my campaign…
Which campaign is that one?
