My goal in life has never been to make so much money that I can retire before I hit 40 and have any material posession I want and I guess that's why this story makes me pretty upset. This morning before school I was hanging out with friends. We got on the ohh so wonderful "note sarcasm" conversaion on one of the jonas brothers getting married when one of the girls I was with mentioning that there were only two left that were good for the taking. The second girl interjected and said that really there was only one left because another girl she knew would kill her if she married the youngest. the first girl said oh I don't really care which I get I just want the money. As I was listening to this I was shocked that my friends were ok with the idea of being willing to spend the rest of their lives with someone that they didn't know based on the amount of money he had. I still respect the people who were a part of this conversation, but if I am right girls that date rich people for their money are refered to as gold diggers. The idea to date someone for one reason like money or looks blows my mind and frankly makes me sick. I don't care if you are just kidding its not something to joke about, because in the end you are taking away the value in that persons life and placing it into their ability to provide you with material posessions. This is probably the main reason I HATE high school because basically everyone there is trying to win the shallowest person of the year award. I am not blameless I know that I have my shallow moments too. But I was raised to put little value in material posessions and when I see my friends who I know were raised the same way it leaves me speachless.
this is my 2 cents

I completely agree and hear the same point of view in my household. Just keep hanging onto the truth, hiding it in your heart.
