a slight dent in my plans. i really have to scrimp and save up for the next two months. 'cos of cpf deductions, it feels like i didn't do any ot for the past 2 months. pft!

why do they have to deduct soo much for the cpf contributions when i don't even earn that much in the first place. Work's pay sucks. Mother says it will help me in the long run. Whatever, that doesn't mean i have to like it.

I think it 's time that i started investing my money, earn while i save that kinda thing. I checked out a couple of insurance websites and decided upon Great Eastern. Father has been dealing with that insurance company since i could remember, so it seems fitting to continue doing business with them. Father did say i will get my payout from that insurance company when i turn 21. But i want to decide where my money will go before that, so i don't run the risk of mishandling it. truth be told, i've not yet gotten used to managing my own finances and i still end up with less money in my bank than originally planned. so it would be nice if there was someone to financially advice me on how to handle money matters.

Investing does seem like the best solution to me now, 'cos saving money doesn't reap quite as much rewards as investing will.
