I was bored and I went online to look for prices of cars currently and it worries me. A lot. Okay, I got to be honest, I look at cars that are a little better off that's why they're expensive. But, it's not Ferraris and Lamborghinis nor Porsches. It's a simple Honda Accord. It's one of those cars you see everyday on the road and unless the driver zhng the car, one won't go "WHAO! LOOK!" at it.
I need to work to save for a down payment, followed by months of installments ranging from $500 and above. In order for this to become reality, I need a pay of at least $2000 per month and how long will that take me? First, I need to get a job, excel in it and then hopfully get a pay increment. That'll take years. Oh my.
Of course, there's another reason why I "looked" into my future. There are many things I want now in life. An iPod, a new mobile. Yes, I know. These things are expensive. Even now, during the holidays, I have to worry about not having money to go out with friends. I need this privillage even after I start working. How the hell am I going to afford this?
Also, I want to go to a university. I don't know if I'm academically capable but I know I'm not financially capable. This itself is a big problem. Why does everything in this world involve money?
I know that I need to start working hard, to even get a job. But I can't say for sure I'll duly deliver given my horrible laziness. Oh God, help me.
I also know that only when I am financially independent I can have my entitled freedom. The way my parents are keeping me it's trapping me sometimes. I'm a tennager. I go out with my friends all the time. It's normal. But their restrictions are driving me nuts. And I thought when I enter Poly, my life will change.
Well, to be honest, it did. But it's not enough. It's seriously not. It seriously suck to be the only heir of the family name and to be poor as well.
I need a plan and I know in this plan, some things have to be forgone in order for it to happen. Though it's hard, I'll try.
