Good Money Meaning

Okay so this thought stemmed from a commercial of all things that I saw today. It was one of those technical college commercials, you know the ones - that promise you gonna be on a new career track and working at your DREAM job and making MONEY in less than 12 months. Just call the number on your screen to get started. So anyway they do these "real" stories type of commercials where EVERYONE and their momma's swear they were at a dead end job, making minimum wage, not happy, etc and so on. And now after attending and graduating from such and such, they are making GOOD money, VERY good money So then that got me to thinking. What exactly is GOOD money? I mean GOOOOOD money?

I mean, this commercial is not the first time I've heard folks say good money. In fact I hear it quite a bit. I hear it from friends, family, acquaintances, radio, tv, internet. And with so many folks using the term I just assumed that everyone was on the same page as to what defined GOOD MONEY. But then I got to thinking that more than likely what I myself considered GOOD MONEY was probably not what the technical college commercial considered GOOD MONEY or the DHL driver, or the person working 2 jobs. It dawned on me that there were just too many definitions floating around on what defines GOOD MONEY. Cuz let's face it, everybody wanna be "rolling like B.A.R.T." as my uncle Kev used to say (and I don't mean Simpson *chuckle*).

So what are folks talking about "I make GOOD MONEY" and "Oh my husband/significant other/brother/sister/mother/lover make GOOD MONEY" and "XYZ rapper make GOOD MONEY" and on and on. Because then I guess my real question would be if so many folks out there in Moneyland making such GOOD MONEY, why is more than 20%. 50%. 70% (should I go on) of the population in such debt. Cuz folks don't save? Are they crack heads? Spending too much? No investments? Or is it that there is truly only ONE definition of what defines GOOD MONEY and truth be told, most folks don't have it and they don't know it.

On the real, I would really like to know how others define GOOD MONEY. If you have just enough to pay your bills, is that GOOD MONEY? Ability to pay bills, vacation once a year out of pocket, and still have money left over? Being able to save all your money and not be living in a cave? Is it minimum wage with no bills and living with your parents? Is my Bill Gates idea of GOOD MONEY not correct? I would surely think that he makes GOOD MONEY. But I don't know him personally and maybe he's more the exception. You know this sh*t really got me twisted and not in a Keith Sweat kinda way. *chuckle to self*

What is GOOD MONEY to you?
