juz had a psuedu-argument with my mum over money. I always felt sorry for frens who were financially straped or were forced to finance themselves thru uni. Now i get a small glimpse of what its like.

A dentist visit that took two weeks to book n a huge cost... n i didnt even want to go in the first place. Now my mum refuses to pay for me so i have to fork out the bill, which i didnt know till today n the appointment's tmr. Shit... big time shit.

Good thing i still have some savings to tide me thru. I've decided to seriously start saving up and plan my own financial future. It wasnt juz today... been tolerating her snide comments n threats...
'If u dun do ____, u wun get any $'
it was never funny, even if i'd laugh it off.
'You're still dependant on me, so u have to blah blah...'

yes, i shall remember our financial relaitonship, esp when i earn my own salary...then i might say the same thing back to her...

Money, so impt yet so trivial at the same time. How smth can mean so much yet it is juz a piece of paper at the end of the day.

I better make some resolutions to remind myself:
-get an ATM card
-walk, save on transport
-bring packed meals
-no more shopping
-dun go out unnecessarily
-no more buying cds or books

in short, save save save!

miranda - April 19th, 2005 Hey... you can shop a little... just not much. Set yourself some "pocket money" from your pocket money and put the rest in savings. That way you're still financially able to do things, and still saving.
