Money, Cash & Sense

Money is NOT everything but without it, we cannot survive in this materialistic world too !

I have been spending a good few weeknites last month in a freelance part time job and was over the moon when I received my 1st pay cheque for that job recently. The extra cash will be handy should my family or myself need it on a rainy day.

That job was pretty simple and those working there seemed to be in a very lax mode. Easy money ! But the turnover rate is high. Our bosses there need fresh faces every now and then so I guess I may be "kicked out anytime without much notice too". However, I am glad that I am still working there till now.

Just a few moments ago, I received a call from my ex-superior from my ex-company. She needs old staff to work in her new current company! Her current company is somehow similar to our old jobscope. Not too bad, with another part time job offer coming along when I am considering quitting my current part time job coz I am kinda bored with it. Yes, I have a rather short attention span. I might be able to earn more from the new part time job too !

My Mum thought I was a money-grubber. Some concerned friends asked me why am I working so hard. I do appreciate their care and concern. Or maybe I feel that I need to keep myself occupied by working, working and working, day and night ! Also, given today's and most probably the future inflation rates, higher expenses and heavier responsibilities to be incurred as one grows older, one will not mind earning more for their future right ?

Besides, I am still young and abled-bodied and would rather work hard now to earn more. There is a Chinese proverb which says 先苦后甜（suffer now, enjoy later) which I find very meaningful and apt for me. Anyway, I am pathetically single now, hence, no need to worry about the lustful boyfriend who might stray while I am hard at work. With their own hard-earned money, women will feel more satisfied and secure, isn't it ? Think I am getting more and more independent and stronger these days.


Yours truly,
