For the past few weeks, I've been pretty damn busy. At least now I have a bit of time to breath. By meaning of breating, I mean only for a little while.
I was out completely yesterday because I had spent the weekend in JB doing some congress stuff. And only came back on Sun evening. Talk about work and being busy huh....
The big problem was also that I found out that my energizer rabbit went to the bank and withdrew 1k from our joint account. I was pretty devastated. In a way I was hoping that it will not happen, but in the end, it did.... And it will start the flood gates if I am not careful. I am gonna give her my half of the $700 mthly allowance. And if it is not enuf, it will unfortunately start a series of events which will turn extremely ugly. If I find that she has withdrawn another 1k, I will unfortunately have to take even more serious measures. Spending is like a disease. You have to cure it. Because she thinks that we are al very rich, she will not want to save. I think that even if she wants to, she does not know how because her concept of money is totally gone.
And this is where the problem will lie. Like I have always said, if the money runs out, then life cannot continue. I am already pretty freaked out about her inability to think things thru. I am afraid of her going downstairs by the flying or leaping method instead of using the lift... As mentioned before, when a person's mind fails, they tend not to see things or think things thru.If she could think things thru, then she will not have spoilt my air con vent. Because I know that the old ladies must have felt cold and must have wanted to change the direction of the vent... But of course again, you can and should only do it with the remote and not forcing it... So she forced it and broke the clip and I had to pay for a new one... Which she claims is already 2 plus yrs old and should spoil anyway... Which is farking stupid logic because I would not want anything to be spoilt no matter how bloody old they are.
I hate to see people waste money... Especially now when you do not know when you may be out of a job and if you will be able to draw your next pay check.Like I always say, you have to plan your finance because if not, when shit happens, you will or may not be able to pay for it.... Imagine... if wife has to give birth and I do not have the money... Or child is sick and needs treatment and we do not have the money....
Having spare and savings is never a bad thing. But even my sis has the very bad habbit of spending too much. She bought a BM claiming that she can get a few k back for getting rid of her Esteema and it ends up that she will pay over 30k in interest rates and the car will end up slightly less expensive than mine. And then she will send her eldest son and her husband to NZ by the end of the year to start him off there and so on.... It will all take money.... so shoudl she not save now? When my mom sees this, like a child... she will go.... "oooohhhh everyone so rich" and she will spend lor.... which drives me crazy.... How the hell can they think in such short term...
Anyway... I will chill out and start to distance myself. And be prepared to cut everything if I really have to... because this sinking ship could bring us all down.... So my frens and all my dears readers.... having the responsibility of bringing up a family or leading a family really sucks... and having a family that does not listen sucks even more.....
