Realize that I become more and more materialistic in these two years after graduated from university.
Being materialistic is not a fault itself. It just depends on how you satisfy your own materialistic desire. Some might work hard and hard and hard in order to achieve their ‘expected income’; while some might involve in illegal activities to get so called ‘fast money’. Whatever it is, there are some people who always work smart and gain much out there. Maybe you don’t realize, earning >RM4K per month is actually not a dream for a 25 years old! It’s all about your capability, chance and luck. Too be frank, I am earning much less than RM4K per month, and I am already 25 years old. Not to compare with others, but earning RM2+K in KL is really not enough for me. I don’t hope to become materialistic, but I am forced to. Everything in reality needs money, except the air that we are breathing now. I didn’t understand why people are always short of money when I was in my study life. I thought a stable income with fixed expenses shall yield a good life and bright future. However, thing doesn’t happen that perfect. There are a lot of disturbances and obstacles to your original plan in reality. You might have extra expenses every month, and they might be all different and unexpected every time. I must admit that I am unable to control or plan my financial at this stage as many unpredicted things might happen to sweep my money away.
It is understandable that people always want to get high salary and good benefit for their very first job. It is a good stepping stone for them to get higher salary in the future. I am pretty poor that I only realized this in these years. And the worse is, even when I realized it, I didn’t take strict action to pull myself out of the trouble. Only until now, I am totally disappointed with what I am having and yet to achieve, I want a difference! I want to work smart to satisfy and fulfill my materialistic desires. Well, maybe I am being too ‘money face’ to some people, but at the end I just want a house and a good life for my family! Am I wrong?
