Trying to Get AHEAD
and Worrying, and
Paying, OFF
all, Bills
is a
Stressing--DREAD

When Money comes
into
HAND
it Goes, to Pay every
Bill, in every Which Way
and Direction--THAN

Some Folks
they Make, ALot
and--Excess--Money
to
BURN

And Spend-spend-Spend
Money
so
FREELY
on every
Mall and Restaurant,
and
Star Bucks--TURN

When on a Budget
very-VERY-very
TIGHT
seems, SURVIVING
PayDAY to PayDay
its a CHALLENGING
STRUGGLE
and
FIGHT

Creadit Card DEBT
for us all, Becomes
an--ISSUE
when, we OverSPEND
and CHARGE
and Feel
the HIGH-INTEREST
and
sad
--DEBT--BLUES

Trying-TRYING-Trying
to--GET-AHEAD
being, very WISE
and MINDFUL
and, very--THRIFTY
is where, to BE
FiNANCIALLY
Responsible
will be, Happily
LED
