Money Matters
I was just reading the Sunday paper; yes, I know it’s already Monday. It’s just that Sunday paper is my favourite and I have to return to it if I missed it.
Anyway I digress.
There was this article about woman usually control the purse string and it is also usually more effective.
Well, I guess it is not going to happen to my household.
For one, numbers and I just don’t seem to fit. James can vouch for how I sat outside the toilet and cried late into the night during mission trip because I just couldn’t figure how Thai baht works as I cannot count beyond 4 digits.
Caesar can be the second person to vouch. He was telling me about how if you have 3million (or was it billion? one of the llion), you don’t have to work. I couldn’t help but asked him if 3million is a lot of money. And when he said yes, I still couldn’t figure. So I gotta ask, how many cars can we buy with 3million?
Thirdly, I just can’t seem to make myself control all the money and give my husband some allowance. I mean, he’s my husband, not my son right? And what if he needs to give someone a treat and don’t have enough money? No offence if your family practices this. I mean on second thought, it is better for a man to have his ego a little hurt than for the family to go without food.
If I control the money, my family will definitely have lots of food. But maybe no money for electricity. You get the idea.
So I guess, I am not gonna control the purse string. Just give me an amount and tell me this has to last for the whole month and I will have my own unique logic as to how to utilize the money.
And please, I am not an air-head. I have many talents; finance is just not one of them.
And if you know Chelsea Sim, you would figure my Maths is not that bad afterall. (Chill, Chelsea. Kidding :))

428571 Big Mac Meal will feed you for the next 391 years, assuming you eat it 3 meals a day!
3 million can buy 3 Ferrari OR 9 new BTO flats OR 60 sister Wan Ping's van OR 428571 Mcdonald Big Mac Meal!
OR 3 condos! What I'll do is to buy 3 condos, collect $4000 rent per condos, and use the money to suppose me as full time missionary!
