Reading from the Pretty Good Book

It's been a while since first we read from The Boomer Bible, and today seems a good a time as any to revive the tradition. If any are offended, well, I understand; there's more than enough to offend anyone in this book.

Reading from the Book of Psongs, 4: 5-7.

5. For it is easy to be blase about money when you have it, and almost impossible to think of anything else when you don't: the emptiness of your wallet is like a great pit, that swallows all your hopes and dreams, and is still hungry afterwards.
6. It is a wise man who remembers that money is his friend: Say nothing more unkind about money than you would say about those whom you love and honor and respect.
7. Yes, many things can happen in life; and when the things that happen are bad, money is usually the best friend you can have.
