Age + $$$ Continuum

I think I’m sooo dead. I’m spending so much already!
Many items purchased fall into this category - I don't really need it, I don't really want it, but, dang it, no one is going to tell me that I can't have it.

Shiny shiny. After splashing out on the Full HD LCD TV last week, I feel content to just sit on the (new) sofa. One night, while lazing on the sofa, somewhat plagued by guilt of over-indulgence, I undressed my mind and asked myself "Where do I go from here?" Financially, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally... the all-important -ly I can think of...

Most of you will answer with your great ideas, maybe with a bright colorful picture perfect future you already planned out. Yeah I had that feeling once, for quite some time. I used to be so young, just setting out on life's adventure, with soaring dreams. I made a bunch of stupid decisions along the way, but was smart enough to make a few right ones. Let's shake that mental image. Now I see myself midstream and somewhat settled down. Looking at my life, honestly I don't know what my future holds. There are so many different variables floating around us every day.

Our life today is a reflection of what we thought and believed yesterday, but it was a rather rude awakening that taught me the fact that the past doesn't have to last when we choose to look through a new and improved view. Of all the things to remember, in general, I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of LOVE. Love of beautiful things, love of family, love of friends, love of my life, love of God. For the time I've taken, the money I've spent, I pray, is not wasted.

Financially, remaining debt-free is a vow. Thank God, I don't have a credit card. It's an obvious trap for a person like me. Next month, discipline! Time to super-size my savings...err percayalah haha
