Money Matters

Today I attended the graduation of winter batch '12. It was such a happy moment for all the graduates and of course mixed with sad emotions too.

I envy those graduates that are free from obligations for the time being. The part I envy the most is, they'll be going back home, start working and earning their own MONEY..

Wow!!
How cool is that,huh?

As I was thinking of how cool that is, suddenly I felt scared..

WORK = EARNING OWN MONEY = BUILDING OWN LIFE.

Yes, it only sounds nice till the part "earning own money", but, building your own life? Of course no one would want a life worse than what they are living now. So do I. Therefore,to start off and making it as comfortable as my life is at this moment, that's one heck of a challenge that I'm not sure I can win over :-(

My parents have been raising me in a very comfortable lifestyle - everything is complete and always enough (more than enough).

Of course, to provide a life like that requires hard work, good financial planning and a whole lot more.

Im gonna graduate in 5 months time and I too will soon embark on this working life journey, putting myself in  the same s***.

So what scares me is, that my parents have done so well till they are able to provide me with this kind of lifestyle, but, will I be able to appreciate what they've done all this while by working as hard/harder and maintain the lifestyle they've given? Even scarier to think, will I be able to make their lives better than they make theirs?

(?)_(?)

I hope I can. I hope I will.

Another 5 more months to enjoy this student life.
