F**** Bitches, Get Money

I want to share the ever so amusing quote my best friend just posted on her facebook wall:

"To all my ladies out there who b datin Ben Franklin, George Washington, Abe Lincoln...you'll be better off in life. Get that money.
"

Like I used to do in my AP english class, I am about to dissect and analyze the language that is used in this quote to interpret its meaning.

To start off, I would like to point out that yes, this quote can be interpreted as coming from someone who is by definition a "gold digger." To clarify, a gold digger is "A bitch trying to weasel you out of your cheddar" and or " a person who goes out with you fo yo money." Big shout out to Urbandictionary.com for the clarification. This can be assumed based on the line "who be datin Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Abe Lincoln." The presidents' names symbolize money. The fact that the ladies are "dating" these "dead presidents pictured on money" could mean that the ladies are dating men solely for their cheddar, cash money, dolla bills, stacks, racks-whatever you want to call it. When the quote states "you'll be better off in life, get that money," it suggests that yes, money does indeed buy happiness. I will not 100 percent disagree. Like my momma always said, "Its just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is to fall in love with a poor man." Now, fellas-I am not trying to say that money is everything, but potential is everything. If you are sitting at home playing video games, eating ramen noodles and drinking orange soda, you are NOT for me.

However, this quote can be interpreted in an entirely different way. Where the quote states"datin Ben Franklin, George Washington, Abe Lincoln," it could also be interpreted as meaning make you're own goddamn money. Because despite contrary belief, money DOES buy happiness. I know first hand-money buys me shoes, clothes, food, alcohol AND everything else in life that makes me HAPPY! "You'll be better off in life," if you worry more about making that money than trying to get that money from a man. Amen---

To SUM it all up. A wise man,Notorious B.I.G, once said F*** Bitches, GET MONEY!
