pondering

think this had been a day of deep talking

its probably the job, i realise how i hv never really talked about these things
today is one of the swarovski saturdays that Dan n I need not work. we lazed and had lunch at Mayim, den a long tea session at TCC

besides bitching about work (as usual), talking about the phone whore's next phone purchase, we touched on a lot about our loved ones, lessons in life and most importantly something that struck me-- Finances

Met up with Brudders (of 7 yrs, can u believe it) and had the same talk, trying to convince feiju on the neccessity of financial stability

The topic kinda hit me a few days ago, when jelly told us her fixed deposit is up and she is doing bank shopping. and she has concrete plans with her CPF investments.

well comparatively, im not v well prepared. I have only one savings plan to cover my ass but its supposed to mature only when im old and wrinkled. and a statement by Dan's Dad kept ranging in my head: no matter how hard you save, one disease is enough to wipe it out

so besides cutting down on the MSG intake, we really have a lot to think about. Dan is luckier, being the only child, his dad has guided him well on the investments and stuff. all he has to think about now is whether to increase the amount dedicated to that.. how much to increase. plus he has less bills to worry about and no one else to support. Now he is worrying about saving for our future (hopefully), which i think is really sweet:)

but ME. hey. splurging for the moment, blablabla.
i should do something with the money i have left after paying for bills and random stuff.
should speak to Penny soon, to do some investments
should start some fixed deposit soon

*sigh*
