Money is the Root of All Evil.

I bet everyone will experience this: Financial problem

No matter how loaded we are, money will never satisfy us. It binds us, makes us feel desperate in our dependency on dough. It never quenches humans’ greed, especially for those who dedicate their life to their financial thirst.

As a student, I could not shield myself from this problem. I sometimes rack my mind, pondering on how to not lose bucks in short time. But I (who sometimes succumb to human nature of being greedy) find it’s very hard to do so. There is a lot of temptation out there that always lures my weak soul to be a spendthrift.

The most embarrassing part is when I have to call home, asking my parents to “lend” me some bucks (I prefer to use the term “lend”, although I am much aware that "lend" is the synonym for “charity” in my “student-penniless-life dictionary”)

Maybe that is why I’m quite close-fisted when it comes to money. But at the same time, I would not feel comfortable if I learn that I am in debt with anyone (including my parents).

You see, I always dream to be independent, and calling home to ask for money really hurts my pride.

I don’t want to be a prodigal daughter.

I need to be wise. I must have a plan. My economy should be manageable. I have to learn how to be an accountant of my daily finance.

So I won’t be a burden to anyone, including me, myself.

Learn.
