It comes and it goes

Where oh where does money go? Into my bank account and out from my bank account.

For me, it is that time of the year where everything needs to be renewed for the year, and there’re tons of bills to pay, more than any other month of the year. Paid for bills, for this and that, for the car, for application fees, etc. Goodness, you name it, I’ve paid it! My credit card and ATM card are both exhausted to the max. Thank God, I’ve just about completed my Christmas shopping so that next month, I don’t quite feel so poor anymore.

Thank God, seriously, that the boyfriend is really good in this area, and that was how I crowned him my personal financial controller. He has taught me many good lessons. Change is really difficult. Especially when all your life, you are used to a certain way of managing money. But change is also really good for me.

I’m finally learning how to manage my accounts better, and always finding a way to choose the option where I get to save a little here and there; that way, every ringgit earned, is spent in a worthy manner. At the same time, it’s also nice to not feel quite so poor…all because of a new perspective and method of managing my finances. Thank God for wise people too, who have helped me much.

So while money comes and money goes…I hope that this time next year, a little bit more would’ve stayed, while a little bit more of life would have been savoured meaningfully too.
