Some people call it envy and some people call it good management. Im talking about the thing that makes the world go round, MONEY! Yeah yeah yeah, all my rants are about money but this is not something which you can turn a blind eye to. Even Shaolin monks are thinking up ways to increase their revenue, from what i gathered, its run like a business now and its really profitable as those westerners are really interested with what they can do. So you see, thousands of years of practise is also broken to accept the fact. Everyone is affected but some people (like myself) is NEVER able to have the spare cash to get what they need or more often want.
I will just quote from a few real life examples of people who i know, you be the judge as to whether they are liars or do they have better management of money?
Example 1, its a teleconversation actually :
SK : Hey Lawsh, long time no chat.
Lawsh : Yeah, how are you?
SK : Fine, i got 2 news, a good one and a bad one :(
Lawsh : Oh, what's wrong?
SK : My son needs to get an operation and its not covered by the company's medical :(
Lawsh : HUH??? Is it serious?
SK : Nolar, should be a minor operation and it will cost a few k though :(
blah blah blah about the kids medical issue ...
Lawsh : So what was the good news about?
SK : Oh yeah, almost forgot about that. Im getting a new Civic
Lawsh : WAFAK???!!! You call that a good news??? @_@|||
SK : Errr ... Its good news for me
Lawsh : Char to ... =_=|||
Note : His "old" Civic is only about 2-3 years old
Example 2 :
M : Sigh, no money liao again (payday was just a few days ago) or Payday is xx days away :(
Lawsh : =) LPPL lar
M : *plays with his new precious aka HTC PDA*
Lawsh : Wah new phone again ar?
M : Yeah, got it on the cheap.
Lawsh : How much oh?
M : 2k like that lar
Lawsh : *talks to self, "Niama, just said no money but bought a 2k phone"*
Lawsh : Why did you buy a new one? I thought the last one was still quite new? Some more you already got a few phones?
M : Aiyar, this one more power mar, can do yada yada yada
Lawsh : *speechless*
Note : Absolutely dumbfounded by the crazy nonsense
Example 3 :
A : I have just got a new phone yesterday, ori and its so nice --> refering to Nokia 5800
K & Z : Yawor, how much ar? I also wanna buy
A : RM1300, i can give you the contact from the guy i bought from. He is very helpful and will help you load the softwares and etc
Z : Ok, give me the contact i will go there and buy since my phone ngam ngam rosak liao
K : I will also go and find my handphone seller friend.
SERIOUSLY, the next day ...
K & Z : See, we got the phone liao
K : Mine is AP and its just RM1150
All : Lawsh you should buy this one also ...
Lawsh : *no comment as he does not have the budget of that magnitude*
after lunch ...
All : Wah those bags are cheap wor (ranges from RM30 and up, Petaling Street merchandise)
Ladies : *gives whatever crap excuses including NO MONEY TO BUY!!!*
Lawsh : *mouth gaping open but no words can flow out*
Note : *shakeshead in disbelief* willing to spend more than 1k for a phone to make calls but not willing to buy clothes/bags @ 3% of the price they paid for their phone
Example 4 of someone whom i think i knew some time ago :
C : I don't have enough money to pay for credit cards
Lawsh : Sorry, im up to my ears in debt as well but i will help you out when i get my bonus.
C : Look at this new dress/shirt/shoes i just bought.
Lawsh : *smiles* Looks nice
Lawsh : *also notices the stack of books which may stand 2 feet tall or more*
after get bonus ...
Lawsh : *pays off most of the debts for C*
after a few weeks ...
C : hehehe, im not able to settle my credit cards again
Lawsh : *have no words to express the extent of anger in him*
Note : I cannot spend my money on what i want and yet i do not have any money ...
So from then on, i do not believe ANYONE who says that they do not have any money because they DO NOT know what the real meaning of not having any money! SO FUCK THE HELL OFF IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, GODDAMNED FUCKING LIARS!!!

hmm you got a point there.
Well based on the bloggie you wrote their mind is setting more on the money to spend rather on money to pay back.
Well i am no one to judge. But then again I support your mind cause this is your bloggie. Write what ever you think! Life have no boundaries.
Bro life is hard for everyone we all do mistakes. Well one things is for sure.

While writing this i am still doubting on myself, on my own blog do i really write what i feel?...
Well to some extend.....
Actually 90% of the people who says they don't have money is for real one. They just spent their $$$ on expensive stuff so therefor leaves them in the state where they feel like they've gone broke.
About people who are willing to spend a lot on something and be stingy on other things is just that their spending priority is different. Like myself, I'm willing to spend on gears more then I spend on books/clothes :)
People who don't put an effort to clearing their CC debts are just plain spoiled IMHO. Probably they come from a rich family always have that assurance that it can be cleared if they just asked for MAFA loan.
re kev, i believe the oppossite, most ppl who said dun have money, actually have money. only the 1% really no money. :) ever heard a rich guy said he got lots of money? if got, also very rare. but agree that ppl have different spending priority same like me.
lawsh, what u point out is true. e.g, some said no money to buy new phone, but every week go out watch movie, eat out, buy clothes. never think they save extra RM 20 per week or per month, then can get a new cheap phone.
oh btw, i also no money. :P
