Money Matters

Its been ages since the last time I wrote my piece here. I just feel sorry for not managing my time really well and not letting me to do things I love. I have been really lazy to write. When there were a lot of things had happened and I had all the stories to tell everyday and it does only take a few minutes to write about it.

Right now, All I wanted to do is plan my retirement. My parents didn't plan their old age. Now that they're hitting 50's they dont have enough saving to live through when they can no longer work. I love my parents and I know I will not take them for granted I would still take care of them. What worries me if I'll get married and my husband will not understand the situation. It would be a dilemna.

My key plan is to save and from my savings I'll invest it wisely. I mean I have so much responsibilities and managing my finances is really hard. Its not that I am earning much and am also trying to spend my money wisely. It may take time for me to get caught up with everything but am really starting to save up. It is my main priority.

I have given up other activities that would cost me money. Like going out and eating out. I can live without it. I may do it at least twice a month. Shopping for clothes I just do it if there would be a bargain at the mall which happens once every two months.

I really have to be responsible and discipline to have a comfortable life. It is still a struggle right now but I still have another 10 years to have the life that I always wanted. All of us wants to retire early and enjoy life fully. I have to take things one step at a time and be really focus. And hopefully faith will be on my side.
