Many of us are just too uptight when we think about money. Well, consider relaxing instead. Tune into positive feelings by lightening up!! It will also be great if we are able to laugh at ourselves in the process. We realize how attached we have been to something which has no permanence. It is true that we cannot bring money with us to our next plane of existence…wherever that is! Perhaps, in that moment of awakening, our hangups start to dissolve. We experience a breakthrough!
Well, let us look through some funny money quotes to help you gain some enlightenment today….
