Money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, down deep, we all want it. Heck, we need it. Some people want more than others. But money makes the world go around, that\u2019s for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though they say money can\u2019t provide happiness, I always say it\u2019s a pretty good start. Think about how often money makes things tough or hurts relationships and lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s taken me a few years to understand finances a bit. I\u2019m getting better with it and am actually looking to be somewhat debt free (outside of student loans) within the next three years. Of course, I know there could be major purchases that would interfere with that; and then all the normal bills \u2026 but I\u2019m talking about things such as credit cards and debt like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first posted this theme, I had some ideas. I kind of went with said ideas, but the photos aren\u2019t as \u2026 exciting \u2026 as I hoped. But they will do the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of us who live in the states, you know our money is boring. It\u2019s green, and it is just there. The coins are OK, but nothing special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look around the world, money is different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s colorful. It\u2019s nice to look at or to use. The denominations are even quite different, as you\u2019ll see. It\u2019s something cool to see color with money and designs that make the money a bit more friendly, so to speak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I set out to do was find some money that was nice to look at and share. eBay proved to be the spot as I found a place that sold some good stuff, so that\u2019s what I am sharing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of that in mind, here are my five for February!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. One billion!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine having the largest bill? Yowza! These bills are from the former Yugoslavia. I couldn\u2019t resist saying I was a billionaire, though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Funky!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love when the bills from other countries just have an interesting look, or what I would refer to as funky. Agree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. The colors!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I look at these bills, from Madagascar, all I can think is the colors! I love how colorful the money is and how it just stands out. It\u2019s so nice to look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. One with nature!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How nice are these bills? The nature is front and center as well. And I like the intricate details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Coins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even coins from afar have such a nice look to them. The coins in the US aren\u2019t bad, depending what you get. But some coins are just older and just don\u2019t feel exciting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are my five for the month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
