What Would You Do for Money?

Hello everyone!!


Pounds, dollars, euros, dirham, crowns... There are lots of terms for the same idea: MONEY. Who wouldn't like to be richer? If you have money enough to buy anything you want, what would you choose? A brand new red Ferrari or a blue second hand Seat Cordoba? ( "Thanks, but I prefer the blue one" Can you imagine it?).

This brings a song to my memory:




However, one should not forget that money is an abstract idea which was invented around 5000 B.C.
Should we really give so much importance to it? Let's think about something: We all know Cristiano Ronaldo, who may (or may not) be an excellent player, but, what we may not know about him is that he earns 25 euros each MINUTE of his life, even if he is not working!

blood moneyOn the other hand, there are around 1.7 billion people who live in absolute poverty (without any money). For example, one out of every four children in Niger dies before the age of five, and most of them just because they don't have any water! 
If we think about this: does Cristiano really deserve the 13.000.000 euros he earns every year?


What's your opinion about this?

  2. the truth is that it is unfair that one person wins so much money there so much poverty in the world, but if that's what their bosses want to pay that plays on your computer, do not think that Cristiano Ronaldo will say that more than half than you make it give to the poor, but with half the d half what you earn could afford all the luxuries still wanted, and although the money can not buy happiness, I too would be CR (but just for the money)

  3. CR7 gets 25€ for minute, but not that alone: Florentino Perez will pay 96,000.000€ at Manchester United for him.. and a lot of children with hungry.

    PD: The song has a problem. I can't see the video.

    See you,
