The wonders of money

Is money important? Well, those people who thinks that money is not important are deceiving themselves. To some extent, money is like an essential possession in life, especially in today's society. Yes, money can't buy love but money can buy a lot of things you need in life. Not only for leisure but almost everything one needs for survival. Probably you can argue that some people plant their own food and build their own house etc. But in reality, that only implies to 'native' people. How is one able to do as mentioned above in a modern society? Even if you want to plant your own food, you'll still need to pay for the seed or the soil or the land to do so right? Ahaha..what am i babling about? Well, i just wanted to say that nowadays, spending money is like spending water. Once you withdraw it from the ATM, next minute *poof* all gone. Then when you've spent all of it, you'll sit and wonder, "What did i spent it on? Where did the rest of the money went to?" As a student, moreover one that does not have a part-time job, it's crucial to keep track on your spending. Basically, it's almost impossible to be spending only AUD 50 per week [how did i do it last year?]. There's nothing to complain here, some people are just not as rich as others, sometimes it makes me jealous to see how people can spend so much going out, shopping, movies, tram, etc. As for me, trying to safe as much as i can to do the stuff i love, although i do love shopping but things are so expensive here. So more walking and less whining!!
