Yes, I was spoilt by my dad and all I needed to do then was to stretch out my hands and I would get it. But don't forget, those days things were much cheaper and we were without mobiles or tablets to play with. And this continued on even after I started my working career and even after I got married! And when my girl was born, it was then her turn to be spoilt by my dad! It was only after my dad's death that I soon realised I couldn't manage my own finances and was feeling very miserable and depressed. Fortunately for me, mum was around to pull me out from my misery. It was then that I started to learn how to save but was still a little bit spendrift! To tell you the truth, it was only lately, through my daughter's 'teaching' & nagging, that I've learnt not to spend lavishly and saved more. Yes, in my case, my daughter was the stingy one who would calculate before buying! And till to-date, she's got me doing just that - calculate and think is it necessary to have it! :)ilene onghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553109281630474306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357812172792833667.post-70223710613151352052012-11-30T19:47:14.465+08:002012-11-30T19:47:14.465+08:00LOL.. yes Thank God for the middle finger.

We just have to keep reinforcing the message of thanksgiving. Charmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594029336646324940noreply@blogger.com
