i am always in dire need of money. i believe i do not know how to manage money (it shows in my credit card debt!) but i also think that you will find money especially when you need it the most. praying helps too!
anyway, as a netizen, i am always aware of new stuff--gadgets, bags, shoes, cosmetics and whatnot. i read a lot of blogs that often recommend high end products are waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my league--and only leaves me drooling. also, these bloggers are rich! i mean they "invest" in Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermes bags. one thinks that a P5,000 Cambridge satchel is a steal so she gets it in two colors! another goes out of the country to bond with her son or complains that she needs a bigger house because she has a loooot of stuff. thus shows the disparity between the rich (them) and poor (me!)
honestly though, i am content with my lot. i eat 3 times a day (sometimes i avoid eating because i am perpetually on a diet!) have my own transportation, have several pieces of jewelry, own a computer, cellular phone and saved some money in the bank. but sometimes, i cannot help but wish i had more. if only to buy my wants. i actually never go to the mall on ordinary days just so i won't be able to fall in love with a new watch or bag or blouse. i hate myself in that when i see something i fancy, i really get it. so i no longer give myself the chance to see anything. i just stay home. it's safer that way!
if you're wondering, the bf and i have separate money. he has more! but i don't ask from him. save for the baby's needs and that is not even regular. i usually get his stuff since its not that expensive anyway. he gives for major expenditures though, such as birthdays, hospital bills and gifts. oh and sometimes i do ask the bf to buy me stuff--only when i'm broke! = ) but he has been good on taking care of us, money-wise, that i must say.
on more a serious note, my friends and i try to give back to the community once a year. we go the the hospital and give away grocery items and feed the kids. i know i do not have that much but still i know i am blessed. when i was a student i wished i was working so i could have my own money. now i wish i was a student so that at least i wouldn't have to worry about money! how funny life is!!!
