whoa, it's been a while since a serious post on this site, huh? i've been so busy that writing about frugality has completely left my mind. although this is so, i like to think that i managed to maintain my xprodigal philosophy amidst the chaos.
that being said, i must admit that i've spent so much in the recent month! huhuhu. but i am proud to say, nevertheless, that all those expenses more or less were on things and events that really matter to me and my goal. i think there are many types of frugality--one of which is really just about spending as little money as possible, but the other being about watching what you spend on and only shelling out on things that really matter to you.
for me, what matters right now is helping other people (and not just spoonfeeding them, but helping them help themselves), spending time with my family and friends and letting them know i care about them, and achieving my dream and mission of spreading His word through art. so when it's a really good cause that i know will go a long way, when it's a little something something that will enable me to have quality bonding time with my loved ones, or when it's for my artistic/evangelistic pursuits, that's when i spend. because that is the entire purpose of money anyway--not to be stored in a bank to earn interest or used to buy stocks in the market. it's not even to buy a perfect pair of comfortable yet oh-so-beautiful shoes. simply put, money is just supposed to make this world a better place.
so, what matters to you?!? and how can your wad of cash benefit this universe?
