Everything in life has a price. Even that cute little over-grown puppy on the right that was initially free ended up not being free after all. In one way or another, you always end up paying something for everything. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to worry about paying for things? Or better yet, if prices just went away altogether? Right now the only thing that is probably going through your mind is something that is totally free in life. Yes, Smiles, laughter, happiness, etc...those are all free. But, what causes them? Odds are, that that's not free. It's funny how the world works. In order to gain something, you must give. You'd think that after a while we would get tired of this and just want to take what we have coming to us. But I believe that all good things come to those who wait patiently.

Sometimes, I feel like my whole life is limited. This sounds sad, but when you think about it, it's both true and false. Everything having to cost money puts a damper on everyone's lifestyle, but I do believe that it weeds out the less determined. Eventually, you can get discounts on things! Which makes it a little more bearable, but hey...it's better than paying full price. I like to imagine a world where things are free and there are no worries about losing your job, saving up to visit your friends that live far away, or spending lots of money on the "perfect" gift. In this world, everyone is happy because there's no complications and troubles to mess with the balance of everything.
While nothing in life is free, I think it's better to just close your eyes and enjoy every experience that you can without looking at a single price tag. Not only is life more enjoyable in the long run that way, but it seems to be less stressful overall. As long as you know that you're having a good time and the smile never leaves your face, price for anything should never be an issue, because the memories to keep forever are free.
