THE MANY FACES OF MONEY

When given to charity, it is called a donation

In a school, it’s a fee

In a divorce, it’s alimony

When you owe someone, it’s a debt

When you pay the government, it’s a tax

In court, it’s a fine

For retirees, it’s a pension

From employers to employees, it’s a salary

To children, it’s an allowance

When you borrow from a bank, it’s a loan

In return for good service, it’s a tip

To kidnappers, it’s a ransom

If illegally received in the name of a service, it’s a bribe.
