M.O.N.E.Y

Yes, money. We cannot survive without money.

Many of you may think that whenever i need money, i ask it from my parents. The money i borrowed to people comes from my parents. My parents don't give me much allowance, i have 30 dollars for a week. That isn't a lot, well at least for an average secondary school student. I don't really have to take fork out a lot for my transport fare because i have my mother to drive me to school in the morning as well as my younger sister who has to travel from Bukit Batok to school in CCK. After school, i would either walk home or bus home with my friends. I don't really go out after school with my friends because i know i would end up spending all my money. That resulted to me not heading out often during the weekends or holidays as well. I have my allowance monthly and my mom would bank transfer me the money instead. I had set a limitation to only withdraw a certain amount of 40 - 60 dollars per month. So i am able to save 60 - 80 dollars for the rest of the month. Hence that is the reason why i often grumble why i didn't have money with me the rest of the week / month. I save my red packet money, the money i earned from online, my birthday red packet. Going out kills, really. Whenever i decided to head out with my friends, i would ended up withdrawing the most 100 dollars. Luckily i only go out with them like once in 1 - 2 months. Before end of year, i bet i didn't went out with them for the past few months. But i admit, money is one issue and social pressure is another.

For some reason, i put family and friendship as my priority which money might come first or after family for many of you. Probably because i am more of that sentimental type. For a littlest thing someone can do to me means the whole world to me. I would talk more about bonds than money. Whenever my friends has money issues and i lent a helping hand, it is not because i wanna boast about my money but because i value this friendship. I am not those type who would treat my friends and give them monetary advantages when i said i value friendship more than money. Why? This is fucking not true at all and the friends would only be with you for money's sake. Which some dumbfucks thought that they are loving enough to have many friends around them. Despise yourself, bitch.

I am not frugal at all. I spend all my money on food and cab fare. Because what is life without food? Cherish what you have and what you CAN have. Money don't stay with you forever. When you're bound to lose everything, you WILL. For cab wise, i tried to control myself and thankfully, i did.

Saving money may not be easy, borrowing them to others in your own initiative is the hardest thing to do. But remember that your money will not cry or miss you the day when you are gone. Family and friends will.
