Money, money and more money...

An interesting topic indeed. Though almost everybody loves money, some may think the opposite as the saying goes "Money is the root of all evil." So some may avoid it albeit not completely, some may go for it, some may seem contend with it and some seem could not get enough of it.

As for me I don't really crave for more money but if I have them it would be better. I think I am a simple person with basic needs and not something out of the norm. I consider myself neither a frugal nor spendthrift person because I spend money wisely. But it seems that the money I have is not enough. I do try to look for ways and means to generate more money just to make ends meet but the money earned is not to my expectation (even though my expectation is not much). I do not want to sound ungrateful.

Maybe this is one of those times where God is testing me of my patience and my virtues. But I am in a dire need of money. Luckily I don't resort to anything illegal or immoral. Sometimes I am in the position waiting for money to be deposited and at the same time things that need you to spend money on, come pouring in. I just moved to a new house and still there are minor things to be done but I can't attend to them because no money available just yet. Around the same time, I got a ticket for driving without a valid licence (expired 3 weeks ago, didn't realized it). The price of petrol just increased which makes things worst. That spells extra on the expenditure list. Now my son is going to pre-school, I need money for the fees, bus fares, computer lessons. The maid needs to be paid. The investment is in a legal problem. The car needs servicing and so does the airconditioner unit. Missed out on 2 months house installments. Study loan, Credit cards bills, Utility bills. Need to pay for this and that. The list goes on and on without saying. A lot of things crop up at the wrong time.

But one thing I can look forward too is that money is coming in. Hopefully I can settle a lot of things when the money comes in and I can have a peace of mind.
