Lost in Transition

In a world where money matters, does it matter if you like or don't like your job? How many people can actually say they like their job? How little people will admit that they hate their job? Then again, how many people will remain neutral about their opinion of their job. In this time of global economic recession, people are more divided about their thoughts on their job. Some are thankful that they still have a job. Some question if their job is really what they want. Some decided to go back to school to upgrade themselves and further equip themselves with new skills to cope with the recession. Then, there are some that are not aware that a recession is going on.

For me. I fall into the category that is grateful that i still have a job. I do sympathise with those who were made redundant. At the same time, the recession has also made me more aware of how i spend my hard earned money. It make my hands tighter and make me hone my screening skills in terms of my purchases. The things that I buy now are either things that i really need, or investments that will see me through years of usage. I now think twice or three times about the things I want to get. I am also aware that i have things that are pre-loved that i should sell to recoup some losses.

I have been doing my maths recently. I have 22 more months before I start my school. I have 9 more months before i go on my next major trip. I have 2 more months before I go for my next short holiday. I have 20 days before I get my Gucci pug. I have 12 days to go before I get my major payday. I have 4 more days before I get my day off. I have 2 more days before I get my secondary payday. I have 2 more hours before I get off work.

So have been thinking long term as I feel comforted to know that there is a finishing line to what I am currently doing. I feel that am in transition. I feel that I have everything I need at the moment and I have to learn how to supress what I want. I have gotten greedy and now, i have to stop myself. In short, I have to grow my piggy bank.

I know that in the last few posts, I have been going on and on and on about money and finances, I do apologise if it makes you sleep. However, I am currently at the core of this phase. I feel that i need to put in my 101% in addressing my current finance. If I can do this well now, i will be set for the rest of the year. I plan to reach $6000 by July. No compromise! I am sadden that my savings had been the same for the past 5 months... I have changed my habit. And now i shall rule.
