Mama said that the more money I have, the more stingy I am with myself. :/ Having thought about it, I guess it’s true. Although I’m earning a neat sum every month right now, I’ve spent very little on myself so far. I contemplated for more than a month before finally buying myself a new bag recently. And I’ve thought for the past 6 months of buying a mobile phone to replace my crappy old Nokia, but I keep telling myself to wait for it to go kaput before I splash out on that small, simple Samsung phone I’ve had my eye on.

It pains me sometimes to fork out money on tangible goods which are not exactly deemed as necessities (like the pink Fila handbag I rewarded myself with with my first paycheck). I don’t mind spending my money on things everyone can enjoy or find use for, like the precious external Iomega hard drive or the other precious Philips DVP 642. And food, of course. (That’s the only thing I can buy on impulse.)

I should learn not to feel guilty for buying myself stuff every other girl buys, like clothes, shoes, bags & miscellaneous accessories. I like buying them for other people, though. And I don’t feel deprived of those things. But my mother says I shouldn’t scrooge on myself. So I’ll try not to think for a month before buying myself a new pair of shoes next time. Aja aja! =)
