Money, money and money

People need money. Like me too., of course I need money, I’m a people. Who doesn’t? well, I’ve heard that money cannot buy you happiness, but money makes the world goes around. Money cannot buy you happiness, but it fulfill many of your desires, and thus it makes you happy. Well, but it doesn’t mean that money is everything, but somehow money is very very very important. But money cannot give you EVERYTHING you want like peacefulness and pure happiness.

But how can money not be my priority when at the age near 26, I just managed to hold a good job, yet face many difficulties and desires and hope to be fulfill? Hope and desires that can only be fulfill with money and it become more hurt for me as at this age I already have debt. My education loan, my car and people’s loan especially my parents.

When I said to my friends about my spending habit where I choose only the cheapest and I always have doubt to buy, he said I’m a stingy person and I should not do that. He says money can always be find. How can he said that considering my circumstances now?

My circumstances? Ok, let me explain.

My money circumstances.

I have an education loan that I need to pay. I took it when I studied for my degree and it amount around RM26,000. As I was having difficulties to get a job after graduating, I was unemployed around a year and half when I got my first job. As I should started pay for my loan, I didn’t, as I’m unable to. Thus, the interest now is increasing and until now, I haven’t yet pay for the loan, I pay for the interest. Oh, I don’t know how to explain but after discovering the importance of money I begin to discover the importance to well managed my money.

My mistakes
When I was a university student, I make a mistake as I overspent my money as much as like. I do not learn to save up. I should realized it, but it was too late when I realized that I should save up. There is no use for me to regret it now, as it already happened, but I need to learn the mistake that already done and to avoid it in the future.

I always wasted my money on foods, and going back home to Johor. That’s about it. I’m not very fond on dresses, or make up or pretty things, well that during that time. Now like it or not, I have to learn to dress beautifully and cannot be too simple person, who don’t even wear anything on her face when I’m going out. Well, yes that’s me.

Now I will think many times before I go into an expensive place to buy food or dress. I cannot waste my money just like that. I need to save up for emergency and for my future, thus, I have to be as simple as I can, buying only my needs and try to get a cheap things at anything like flight tickets and so many other so that I can save up.

Is what I’m plan is correct?

Got it from a website, and share it here. These are quotations from famous people about hard work and perseverance and of course the right mind set.  It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." ~ Bill Gates "As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big." ~ Donald Trump "The last thing that people want to hear is the plain simple fact that the rich think differently [about money] than the poor ... They have what I call a wealthy mindset." ~ Robert G. Allen "If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. If your money works for you, you keep and control the power." ~ Robert T.

2012

My 2012 has been a great year to me, and for that I am really thankful to Allah. There has been ups and downs and each one of it has been very meaningful to me. I started 2012 with a new place of work. The task become easier compare to the last my place of work. Less demanding and less pressure. But well, each place has it own problems. I encounter mine. But I take it lightly because it is not the problem that can caused me to feel angry. Instead the problem has shown me that I actually have issue with people. Then,turn out what I have to do is to just smile, ignore and do what I think is right. Do not bother what people think, as long as I do my work passionly and I try to be friend with them. Then, I discovered things about me. Like actually, I am not that very patient person. I will get what I want. It just, do not test my patience. It could be that I answer you back, or I will ignore that person totally. Actually, I hate the rush of impatience when it comes. It not good. And I ...

About Love and Marriage...

Got this from a facebook.... During a seminar, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?" I noticed that there was a man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How... do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing o n your mind.. Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love...Because it's happening TO YOU. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that...
