Reality as it bites

I have got to stop spending.
Every payday, I have this overwhelming urge to spend all my two weeks earning on greasy-arteries-clogging-yet-so-wickedly-delicious sweets. It does not really help if you are with the company of equally healthy, meaning abundant, eaters who have the same passion for food. As a result, here I am dragging my big fat ass and my tummy as an obvious indication of my pay slip.
On top of that, I really have no idea on how to spend my earnings wisely. After getting one gadget, here I am eyeing another, and worse it’s expensive. It’s like beating a world record every single time.

I remember my younger brother told me about an article he read on investing one’s earnings. It talked about acquiring objects that would eventually be a source of income. He said that while I am young and have the ability to earn a decent living, I should start investing on some sort of business. If my investment will end up in futility, at least I still have the capability to earn. Granted that my business will succeed, I can start saving for my future.

Makes sense.

So, here I am, knowing that in the next few weeks, the 13th month bonus and other allowance being given, temptation is stronger. I have to think twice before even spending a dime.
