yesterday, i had nothing to do at work anymore that i decided to pretend im busy by doing some sort of accounting of my profit and loss--kinda. but seriously, i did a list of what i earn and what i spend for the month and divided it bi-weekly to do a more accurate calculation. one thing i realized first is how fast i burn up my salary to unnecessary things. secondly, i realized that if i have been more responsible in handling money, that could've reward me with something bigger other that clothes piling up my closet or food that gives me a bloated feeling everyday--i could've had the money to buy a car though i dont have plans yet. just how irresponsible a person could be, one penny could just fall off your pocket without even minding it. taking it for granted is the phrase. who minds a penny anyway? it's just the change you get out of buyin a twix bar in the vendo machine. or could be a left over in you're grocery shopping. the most important thing i realized is, "how each penny counts to the monetary blessings i receive out of my job." if it weren't for every penny that counts, there would be no "me" who lives decently, eats regularly, shops often, and shares her blessings to her family and relatives in need. well, that's not lip service. just feels good that even if i get somehow irresponsible in budgeting, at least a part of my penny goes out where it should be.
