My Mom Kicked Me Out

Relatives from Australia came over to visit before they head to SF then Hawaii so my mom kicked her kids and the dogs out of the house for no apparently reason because they didn't even sleep in my room and they were actually excited to see my dogs.  My mom acts as if my relatives from Australia are more rich and glamorous than royalty and affluent people, which I guess they can be considering how easy it is to be rich in Australia.  Apparently you can have a family of 4 and make 80 grand a year and still be on welfare but their welfare is no joke either because they get 4 to 6 grand a month for welfare.  It pays to be poor!  So obviously most of my relatives in Australia are retired at such an early age and their kids are mostly lawyers or pharmacists.  They may be rich as hell but they suck at giving presents, not even a shirt!  Another wave of Australian relatives are coming on Friday so once again my mom is probably going to kick us out again.  I do admit their Vietnamese accent is pretty weird.

Save To Splurge

They say that you are only as rich as much as you can save so where does that put those who save up money only to splurge their savings and going back to where they were before or even worse? If you spend your savings then technically you're not saving at all because whatever you saved up would be totally gone. Emergency funds? Gone. Indulging yourself in material things is a trap. Whether you save or not, it doesn't matter because you are only going to spend it anyways whether it's now or later. Just because you have the money, it doesn't mean that you have to spend it or should spend it. There are betters ways to use your money and even to make even more money with it. When money comes easy, people do not take better care of their funds. The haves will become the have nots.
