Learning under God is way more fun :]

Today, as I was in class, I had a little revelation that totally shocked me. I had never thought of my financial worries as of now to be like this because of certain divine appointments. I always put myself in deep thought when I get super bored, wherever I am. People would usually ask me if I was daydreaming. I don't really think that's the right word to use in this case. Ha.

My revelation:
When an old [best] friend of mine and I were still very close. Only a couple of you know her. I had saved a lot of money [at the time it seems like a lot of money and I value money so I still think it's a lot of money, haha]. Well, we were the opposite when it came to spending. She'd save, I'd occasionally spend at special times of the year all of that money I'd save up; usually I'd save up for months, treat myself, save again - easily. I guess you can say that I probably didn't really pay attention and was just saving it, hoping to spend it in the end. Well, after she and I departed ways, another good friend and I are now, somewhat going through the same thing. She spends mindlessly, even sometimes on things she prob won't even use or whatnot, with the money she's saved since she was young, very young. On the other hand, since I was somewhat quickly losing the money I had saved up from my previous spend, I felt really irritable and disappointed in myself about it. (*note: I always spend but leave at least $10 - $50 dollars behind so that it can help me save up again)

But today, I realized that she was brought back to me from God to make me realize about my past; that I should really start paying attention to what I have saved and what I have spent because of this economy. Also, that I can learn from her wreckless spending from time to time to change my habits. So now, I've been slowly but surely, saving money when I can and buying things I will really use. I even have a list I wrote of things I would like to buy if possible/necessary but I told myself that if I can't get it by the time they run out in stock, I would be sad about it and that it's just God telling me that I don't need it. =] Do you wanna see the list I have so far? Hahah, it's pretty long.

Nah. Wont show you. xP
