But after being in cbox, i got the idea that we need to spend on ourselves once in a while to make life more meaningful. I am less frugal now and I am still saving as well. I guess we need to do things in moderation.<br /><br />I really glad to be part of cbox as it has played a part in shaping my young mind. <br /><br />Your post also reminds of this true story. Not sure whether have you heard of it before:<br /><br />The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:<br /><br />“Man.<br />Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.<br />Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.<br />And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;<br />the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;<br />he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”Aohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243452032506841544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-37175332702258822172012-03-12T18:57:14.546+08:002012-03-12T18:57:14.546+08:00"" The perfect travel-around-the-world v..."" The perfect travel-around-the-world vacation that you always wanted after your retirement might not be so perfect when you have to climb mountains and walk around with a weakened heart and a painful knee.""<br /><br />Well said. This is also the reason I gave to mom and all those aunties, about why wouldn't I find a partner to "settle down" (i.e. form a family and all those stuff).<br /><br />Well, I have still lots of pages left on my passport and going to JB don't count as mileage.<br /><br />Something for the loved ones if tomorrow never comes ? Well, since I don't have a family of my own, my insurance coverage should be sufficient for my elderly mom and my own "white event" expenses. <br /><br />If tomorrow almost never come, i.e. disabled, I hoped that my insurance coverage is sufficient to cover the medical and the follow up. Hope but we can't never be too sure.<br /><br />Therefore, go out and enjoy. The world is our oyster.SnOOpy168https://www.blogger.com/profile/16073641443037165395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-161434110958725692012-03-12T17:25:48.585+08:002012-03-12T17:25:48.585+08:00Wait till you become parent.

It's an interesting journey if you read my post right from the beginning to the end.

And I bet with the arrival of your first child, your post will evolve even further as your life situation changes :)<br /><br />P.S. If I'm your partner, I would move in for the kill after reading your post: "Dear, funny you should mention handbag.

I think either way, the point is not to overspend and oversave. Both are equally unhealthy.<br /><br />Hi OT,<br /><br />Likewise. I find it easier to spend on family than on myself. If I have to spend $100 on myself, I'll think twice and thrice. But if it's family, not so much blinking is needed. But as bro8888 mentioned, if we don't love ourselves, who would?la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-63908626125925132032012-03-09T21:12:15.641+08:002012-03-09T21:12:15.641+08:00Hi temperament,

Well, I guess all my wealth would go to my family. <br /><br />I could go with a peace of mind knowing that I would have left behind income generating assets for my loved ones instead of burdening them with debts.<br /><br />I never really have a problem spending money on people I care about. I am less generous with myself though. Having said that, I have been trying to be a bit less frugal with myself with some success.<br /><br />And, yes, my knee hurts too.

Well put.<br />We all know we must also think of "If Tomorrow Never Comes"<br />And also in case you save too much, you will not be living in the present. And actually we all only have the present to live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
