Spendings~

Once you start earning your own keep and Daddy gradually reduces your pocket money to $0, you will find yourself applying the P word very frequently to your monthly expenses.
P is for Prioritising.
This applies to the majority of us- the average middle income folks who in our lifetime, will very unlikely earn millions or billions. Therefore, it is important to know what you want and what you actually need. Some spend the bulk of their earnings on material goods, finer things in life- luxury cars, bags, clothes, jewelry and so on. Nothing wrong there, if buying these things make your day, then go ahead 
As for me, yes I do love jewelry (Hehe! Bvglari rings are aesthically pleasing) too, but I am very much aware that material things don’t make my day. Because I always feel that these ‘goods’ are just physical items, nice to see, nice to own (to make you look upclass). However these items don’t bring longterm happiness or help in creating beautiful memories. I already know that as much hardwork and effort will I put in to earn a living, the motivation that pushes me (aside from work passion itself) is not being able to own many of such upclass materials but to actually to able to afford a house-using my own hardearn cash.
Everyone needs a house, a home, a shelter. And I would like to be able to reside in a comfty and safe high-rise apartment (nah I am not a landed-property person). Imagine that amount of satisfaction you will get, when you step into your own home, knowing that you are the one who paid for it, and not your parents
And I guess this shouldn’t be anything new, travelling comes as one of my ‘money spendage’ reasons. Now that I am starting to foot my own bills, I realize how expensive can travelling be! But it is worth it all
Money Matters!
