The times are a changing... or are they?

So, i had a moment of strangness. it started with my encounter w/ an ex who found me on FB. i recall more bad than good or try to, just to fuel my animosity. n-e-wayz. he was quite the thirfty bastard  (& thats putting it nicely). turns out he still is, me well i still spend money like water. which segways us to my moment of "AHA!" if people spend money like water why do we hit pay dirt when we get  money? further more, what happens when money can no longer be frivolusly spent like water when we finally come to realize the water shortage. will pay dirt make more sense? (u see what i did) now for  a last reflection. i've noticed a trend. there've been at least three exs that have been money driven. one was cheap as hell. another was always looking to make a quick buck. and the last turned on me  when we became "friends" stating i only used him for his money. now i come to realize how i came to miss trust men. not to mention that is how my father showed affection. but thats another story.
