I remember a long time ago, nearing 20 years actually, I was particularly fond of some action figures which were highly popular at the time. I saved my allowances in the hope of being able to buy at least one of them. As time went on, there were so many different types to choose from and so many different version, with limited money, I was not able to make up my mind which to buy. In the end, I didn't buy any of them... The money? I continued to save throughout my school days and in the end I had to use all of them for my relocation for my job in Boston.
Last year, I was actually able to save quite a large portion of my salary and bonuses... I was quite proud of it, until I realized in the end I have nothing. It was just a number that I have on my mind, but in reality I am still empty handed...
There was no actual joy or pride that I got from my thrifty lifestyle, or rather it was the mindset I was accustomed to since early age.
This year, I was determined to buy anything that I always wanted with the money I have at my disposal. Even though I have bought a few things and have a budget for most of the things I wish for, I am still kind of apphrensive towards this situation. Although, I am going to buy that PS3, who cares what other people say, it's the most kick ass gaming console out there!!
Up till the moment I am writing this very piece, I remained very confused to the financial life style that is suitable for myself.
