financial revolution

I remember when I was very young, still in elementary school, my mother decided to take a different approach on giving money. She gave our daily allowance upfront, at the beginning of every month, and a piggybank. What was all that about? Me thought. But then me and my brother and sister were used to it. Up until the final year of my diploma school. We were all used to live in a budget, bought groceries using it, and never asked for more. Thus, when I am already this old, given more than enough salary for a living, I am a bit frustrated to find out that my parents has taught me how to manage my own finance at very little age, yet I haven't been capable of doing it very well!! Yes I haven't got married yet, but when I have, there will be so much things to buy, so much things to spend, and so much things to save for. 

*insert my grim visage here*

Oh well, it's never too late to start a revolution, is it? I don't know why I thought about this lately.. perhaps because I've seen a lot of friends becoming newlyweds, and I've seen most of them struggling to fulfill their desires to live properly. When you were young you were supposed to dream big - wanting to be a doctor, pilot, and it would be on their parents' shoulder to think about where money would come from, hehehehe. Been there, learned from that.
