Money

Now I believe the saying is true.. money does make the world go round. This particular topic came to me when I was coming home from college and overheard two people talking about the ridiculous payments of universities, certain jobs and how this country is still in debt. Allow me to ellaborate:
We, as a country, keep borrowing money from other countries putting ourselves in further debt, and the government insist on putting that debt down to us by adding up our bills, increasing purchase prices, and increasing things such as tax and rent.
What they don't realise is, there is one crucial thing we can do: cut down money on certain jobs.
For example, a footballer is paid millions of pounds to run up and down on a football pitch, just because they are better than others at doing so. They get paid an awful lot more than lets say, doctors and nurses who save lives daily. Surely they should get paid more than a footballer who gets paid millions to do a hobby?
Now, if we cut back on how much football teams pay for their players and how much they get paid, maybe we can use that money elsewhere to better our country or to pay back some of our debt. These are things our government doesn't think on.
To quickly move to the next topic, the cost to attend university these days is £9,000. Now, this is a pretty high price and I have to say I find it shocking as someone who wishes to go to university themselves.
Fair enough, there are things like student loans which can be obtained, but that means putting yourself in debt all of your life. Now an idea I had personally was to secure a job, take a gap year and raise money for myself to have accomodation and things for university, but there is still the matter of paying for the tuition fees.
This country seems to want money out of everyone, and when you leave university at the current tuition fees, you are instantly in debt and will be until you pay it back. What I do find ridiculous, is how there doesn't seem to be as much help out there as we all may think, and when you do find the help there is so much you need to do before you get the help that at the end of the day to some it may seem pointless.
For my own personal opinion, I believe that this country is becoming a country for the rich, as middle class and lower class families struggle on benefits and often struggle finding jobs, whilst the rich can happily sit there and enjoy their lives.
I say this because I live in a middle class family. We struggle with our benefits on trying to make food last for two weeks (and by this I do not mean we are fat pigs, we just simply can't afford in this current climate), we have to afford petrol for long trips to and from ill family members, myself to college and also to do shopping and other odd jobs, then we have to try and afford new clothes and this is where the worst part comes in.
I am admitting something very personal here, but in our family we haven't bought ourselves any new clothes since Christmas as even by getting discounts, everything is too expensive. Currently I am wearing a jacket from my boyfriend and a jumper I have had for nearly four years now, and socks which I have borrowed from my mother to stop me being laughed at for having holey socks.
This is what we have to put up with because nothing in this world is free, and if it was I think everyone would be happy. But this country has an addiction for borrowing money from other countries, overpaying certain jobs and they just, in a way, make it worse on the country by asking for money back from the citizens of England.
I will end my rant here today, please pass on your comments to me and tell me what you think of this rant, and what ideas you may have for any other posts you may want to see. Afterall, I may be one voice, but I can use the voice of many to express views and opinions, and hopefully everyone can understand each other.
Stay safe out there.
