Here are some thoughts on the topic 🏵️🏵️

It's common in our society to feel pressure to constantly earn more money, but this focus on material wealth can be harmful to our mental health.
For those who struggle financially, there may be feelings of shame and inadequacy. For example, someone who lost their job due to the pandemic may feel like they're not doing enough to support themselves and their family.

The pursuit of money can also blind us to other important aspects of our lives.
In pursuit of financial gain, we may neglect our relationships, our hobbies, or our health.
For instance, a person who works long hours every day in order to make more money may miss out on spending quality time with their family or pursuing their passions.

It's important to recognize that not everyone has an equal chance to achieve financial stability.
There are many systemic barriers that can hold people back, such as poverty, racism, and a lack of social mobility.
These issues can make it incredibly difficult for certain groups of people to make ends meet, even if they work hard.
For example, someone living in a low-income neighborhood may have limited access to job opportunities or education, making it harder for them to break the cycle of poverty.

By acknowledging these issues, we can work towards creating a more equitable society where everyone has a fair chance to succeed.
This includes advocating for better policies and resources to support those who face systemic barriers, such as affordable housing, job training programs, and healthcare.
It also means increasing our understanding and empathy towards those who are struggling financially, so that we can build more compassionate communities.
