bubble

My female owner has regressed, she said. She remembered a time when she first starting work (this was post A-levels, in-between junior college and starting university). She gave tuition and worked as a clerk in a hospital. With money of her own, she started giving money to her parents and supporting herself. Although not extravagant, she came to a point where she had only $26 in her bank and almost had to think about skipping meals just to survive. Indignant, she rejected the notion of poverty and started to claim prosperity for herself as a child of God (something along the lines of, how could a child of God have to worry about food?) She never looked back since, she never lacked.

Just this past week, she realised that she only had $25 left in her wallet/ disposable bank account until the next pay day (which should be tomorrow). It’s hard to trace the exact series of events that led to this, but the overarching reason is that my female owner does not know how to budget properly. She finds it difficult, with unstable income, irregular big expenses and impromptu outings that challenge her resources.

Flashbacks of that distant past returned. Time to start praying for help in this area. She finds it extremely disturbing that someone of her age and experience has succeeded in getting herself into this state (don’t worry about her financial status, she has money in her other bank accounts for rainy days). Tsk tsk. She needs to grow up, get out of her bubble, and start planning properly!
