WEALTH(Money aint a thing...??)

One thing that i have learnt in life is that life is tough without money.Many people refer to it in many different ways;Paper,cheddar,the green leaf...e.t.c but no matter how you refer to it,never believe anyone who tells you money is nothing or as we like to put it in slang "money aint a thing."That phrase is just a bunch of lies coming from broke people trying to make themself's feel better.I for example used to have a lot of money not very long ago.My parents had long lectured me to spend my allowance wisely when i arrive here in Malaysia.All Batswana students studying here in Malaysia were given around P19000(roughly around RM9000) as there allowance t0 carry them for three months.Yes the money looks like it would last a lifetime when you look at it in writing but wait until your first withdrawal from the A.T.M...!!You will ask yourself wether you ever had RM9000 in your account or wether the bank is swindling you!The money will start flying off the tip of your fingers in ways i cannot describe.Every day a bus picks us up from where we stay and takes us to the mall,at around 18:30pm and on almost each of those days i'd make sure i left with that bus.When i passed by a store and saw something i liked i wouldn't even hesitate for a second,i bought!I bought everything from clothes to tech-gizmos and when i was done with my shopping i'd end it off with a meal from mcdonalds.For about three weeks i didn't even buy food to cook at home.I'd have a take away away for breakfast,lunch and supper.When i saw my friends making their groceries and buying gas so they could start cooking at their houses i'd just think to myself "i don't need to do that!I got money!Where has all that money gone right now?Going to the mall is now my worst nightmare!Right now i have less than a quater of the original money we were given yet we have like two more months before we can start being given our allowance on a monthly basis.If i managed to extinguish more than three quaters of my allowance in like three weeks,how the hell am i going to survive on the remaining one quater for two months!I don't even want to face an ATM right now.I got to watch every single RM1 in my wallet.People,money is a thing and life's tough without it,believe me!
