The Youthful Chase For Money And Affluence..

According to statistics, a staggering 80 percent of the world's population live on less than $10 a day, Three billion live on two dollars a day, while one billion live on less than a dollar a day.

I guess perhaps the abject poverty in town nowadays, as illustrated by these figures largely suggests the main reason people are chasing after money. They are heel bent on breaking the Poverty duck.

Although on a more serious note, the rate nowadays is becoming quite alarming. Had it being that all this people all want to be rich by working with their hands, I guess then there is no point in blaming or speaking against them.

Rather, many are only interested in getting rich, without making use of their energy, time and sweat. They are only interested in swindling people and thereafter get rich.

Those who aren't fraudsters, or scammers, are involved in rituals, kidnapping, armed robbery and a host of other ludicrous social vices.

It is quite disheartening or best explained, absurd to hear that people are actually ready to go to any extent just to get money. How they are gonna get rich, they are just less concerned.

But maybe to a little extent this all augurs well when you have an elderly person in question. I mean a person that has got wives and kids to cater for. Definitely when you see such a person after money, then you know the reason, I mean it might still sound a little bit reasonable.

This then leads me to the main contextual reason I am writing this. Youths... Oh yes. The youths, particularly from ages 17-25, all chasing after wealth and riches at such a tender age.

It is an honest reflection though of the direction life is heading actually, being in a world of civilization and a world where science and technology are starting to become a mainstay, youths obviously do not want to be caught in a limbo, I totally can understand.

Who doesn't want to be rich, who doesn't want to be that one man whom everyone giveth respect, all in the name of wealth, popularity, and affluence. No one right..?. Exactly!!.

Unemployment does not help matters either, it doesn't!!. Take for instance, a parent that strived to send a child through the secondary school and university for a minimum of twenty years, and at the end of the day, watched on as the child gets no job, at least to repay the parents and reward them for their determination. It really hurts, and I guess the child would be willing to do anything, just anything.

This is where the chase sets in, this is where desperation sets in, Of course, it is. No average human being would be willing to sit still and fold arms without taking drastic steps and actions.

The Chase for money and Affluence is on

CONCLUSION

The old belief was that when you are an erudite, and you are well educated, automatically money will come to your lane, but after the emergence of corruption has proved that notion wrong, teenagers no longer want to be educated, they instead want to face squarely that challenge of making that shiny, crisp looking, world wide acceptable paper called money

Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter brethren, Unless the increasing rate of poverty and unemployment in the world today, particularly in most African countries is tackled, and solved, the chase to make money at the most tender of ages won't stop.
