well i'm making quite a good income over here.but i gotta pay lots of things. i'm trying to save around 3grands.. but i didn't get to save some money from my two first salaries as i paid my house deposits,bought a car, bought necessary things for the house and halal food. even though i shared those with them friends, it was still kinda costly for us. i gotta pay to AIPT almost 200 per month, Federal tax and Alabama tax which is almost 300 per month. its soo damn frustrated that America's taxes are so high. i currently have just enough money for ticket home. i have to say that if i didn't spend my money on the things that i bought, i might have 3grands right now. but i couldn't resist myself from buying them as they are surprisingly very expensive in Malaysia. i bought a laptop, shoes, presents for beloveds, shirts, jackets,a guitar which i never learnt to play, a sewing machine i rarely use, a blanket that i seldom use, an Ipod, two LEGO sets, toys, plush toys, unnecessary things cause they look cute, handbag and the list goes on and on.. the sole reason i bought all of these is because they are not affordable in Malaysia.
deep down inside, i want to spend all my money to go to anywhere while i'm in America. Because this might be the only chance i have to travel in this life time. i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, i gotta work hard to earn things that i want. but i am afraid i might not have sufficient savings when i return to Malaysia. i refuse to have the life i used to have, to start all over again from point zero when i first started to work in Malaysia after i graduated. I am ashamed of myself that i had to borrow some money from mom so that i could rent a place of my own. and i wasn't happy with that place, but that was the only place i could afford.
that is why i am trying hard to save as much as possible. so that i can stand on my own feet when i return home.
