These day emotions are sold; the highest bidder gets everything, and that's how life is. If you're one of those people who are always complaining about sponsors, then you're probably broke, and you need to get out there and look for money before you start hating on those who have it.

Whoever said that love is blind was right; the problem is, that's not how things work nowadays. It's difficult to fall in love with a broke person - with all the billboards and TV advertisements trying to tell us what life is about, someone who can't afford expensive things will die single or maybe get someone who's understanding and is willing to suffer, and that's rare.

Like Christopher Marlowe said, “While money doesn’t buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position.” You can't be broke and ugly at the same time and still expect to bag the hottest damsels around.
