The world is on my shoulders
As I struggle with the weight,
The world is on my shoulders
I’m left questioning my fate,
The world is on my shoulders
And I don’t know what to do;
When it comes to managing money
It seems I really don’t have a clue!
It really is quite simple…
But I haven’t got a plan.
It really is quite simple…
I’m doing the best I can.
It really is quite simple
You know exactly what to do,
When it comes to managing money
You’d may as well flush it down the loo!
Just find a little balance,
But my life is too much fun.
Just find a little balance
Think of all good things to come;
Just find a little balance
Stop spending the way you do,
When it comes to managing money
The only one stopping you, is you!

It seems to me that managing money is simple. Pay all ur bills as soon as u get paid, then if u have money spend it, and if u don’t don’t. It helps to have a rainy day fund too, but those can be hard to keep around. Maybe its easy for me because I live the simple life. Just a thought. Excellent poem, good work!
You are exactly right! I wrote this poem when I was having financial struggles, and I re-read it when I feel the strain pinches me again. No excuses, it’s my own fault for spending more than I earn. You are correct I should pay bills and then save for the chance to do/ buy something nice. I should spend within my means, I don’t go crazy on what I buy, however I do struggle and need to learn that ‘living the quiet life’, in order to save some pennies (or just not go over drawn) isn’t such a bad thing. I am currently in the process of teaching myself and trying to learn this lesson at the present moment. Thank you 🙂
