3-Money

October 9, 2009

Got to love the money!

 

I have got to admit, i can’t live without money (who can?). Despite the fact that i have to pay $19 000 for my university tuition per year(OK, i study aboard) but hey that’s a lot of money! University is a money vampire that suck the money out of you to subsidise the local Australian students. Often i find myself in inequity position while studying and working at the same time in Australia. Being an international student isn’t easy, study, work and more study. At the same time, you see other students go out every weekends and get drunk. I work every weekend at nursing home, to support myself and get things that i needed. Can’t use the money excessively like other people would do, because the rest of the salary will be put into saving for my tuition.

 

Break it down.  $1000 a fortnight and spend $250 a fortnight 🙂 you can try that for a month i’m sure most people won’t survive. I don’t wanna complaint about my circumstances but embrace it, embracing what you have and able to get out of it. I told myself many times i will work harder study harder, because i know one day i will be a successful person in many ways. Money is a way for me to measure my achievement not a way for me to brag about my life. I appreciated everything my parents have done for me, I will provide the best that i can when they need that help. Mum and dad worked so hard to send me to this place, I have learned to be independent, I have learned that money does not come easy at first, I have learned that financial knowledge and management is important and i have learned that I will never have to struggle this much once i master that knowledge.

 

I have learned to share.

 

The desire of earning more money is not greed but fail to share your wealth is greed!
