I've been lamenting to M that I'm feeling very poor as I have been spending a lot of money on things that I dun really need. And the worst part is that many of my friends have been getting married or giving birth to a baby or stuff like that and I have to come out with money to give ang pow to... Sigh... I'm not unhappy that they're getting married or having a child but it's just that my pocket is not really able to take all these expenses much longer...
The agony of ever seeing your savings balance keeping constant, the next level is always so near, yet so far. And the fact that others who have gone into more lucrative careers have so much more to spend just gets to me at times. I remember once when M's mother was commenting that I'm actually earning quite little and my answer was: "Ok la... It's enough..." I wonder if I was just comforting myself...
But then as I lamented, I saw M's income and the accompanying humongous expenses, I figured that God is fair. I'm earning enough! No doubt, a bit tight at times... But IT'S ENOUGH! I will see each extra as a blessing that God has given me and to just bear with the less that I have to take! It won't help lamenting on it...
Besides, I LOVE my job! And the people who go with it... Hee...
