In my entire life, well the past 10-15 years or so, I have read a number of financial books. There were books that I found very difficult to understand and some requires a bit of digging (research) before I knew what I was reading. Actually, there were books that I do not understand today.
Recently, I stumble upon Suze Orman's show on Channel 13 and then decided to get some of her books from the library. One of the books I got from the library is "The money book for the young, fabulous & broke".
In the “don’t do it” section of her book, she mentioned:
“People first. Then money. Then things. So what’s it mean? The nature of money is that it will come and go in your life. And the last time I checked, there’s no way you can take a penny of it with you when you finally exit this world. I can also promise you that when you are on your deathbed, you are not going to be thinking about how great your life would have been if only you had bought that latest and greatest car, plasma TV, or fabulous outfit you always wanted.”
Had I known what I know today, I would've done somethings differently when I was younger.

Busy?
Wow, I am busy. With a new born and a 2 years old at home. I am running between the 2 of them and sometimes both of them crying for me at the same time. It's absolutely heaven when both of them takes a nap at the same time...which rarely happens because the 2 years old one doesn't really take naps anymore. My quiet time is at night when they both asleep. I catch up with my showers, my reading, cleaning, paperworks, emails etc...or simply just sit down and do nothing.
