I Hate Money
I hate money. Truly I do. It's a mutual feeling I guess, or else how do you explain it being so damn repelled by me? Why else would it seep through my fingers easier than quicksilver?
I hate money, and it's hate for me seems to be much more acute during Ramadan. Last night while queuing at the local Mcdonalds drive-thru, a young Indian boy came up to my side of the car and just stood there with his little Puss-In-Boots eyes. I couldn't help but reach for my wallet, and out jumped 2 KD's. For the life of me I can't turn these people away, I just feel bad about myself. You'd be surprised though, coz if anyone else was telling me that they'd given in to those nitwits, I would've given them an earful on why it's wrong to give them anything, coz they're only encouraging and pushing peddlers yada yada yada yada. Sadly I don't practice what I preach.
When the Philippino worker came up to take our order, I couldn't help but order everything my grease-and-slime-clogged arteries desired. I got the Up-sized 2 cheeseburger meal with coke, and an extra 2 cheeseburgers with Big Mac sauce (kila minik ya Sty 5alaitny adminhom). I ended up paying around 5 KD's for a fun-filled binge-night out at Mickey-Dee's, coz being sweet ol' generous lil me, I had to be a stupid show-off moron idiot and pay for everyone else in the car. Even though I knew very well that I could not afford all this tifilsif. Not including the 2 KD's for little Puss of course. Oh yeah and gas for spinning all around Kuwait all day. And night.
It might've been less than 10 KD's, sure, but think about it. An average of 10 KD's per night. Times that by 30. 300 KD's a month, ON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! NOTHING! 300 KD'S FOR A FEW CHEESE BURGERS!! And I haven't even started talking about the other things I cough up for on a regular basis.
In my previous post I told you about my splurge at the accessories fair. So lets say I payed 45 KD's, yesterday alone. My allowance is only about 20 KD's a week!! I seriously need a crash 101 course in being frugal, coz it's not funny anymore, and my irresponsible spending is getting out of hand.
Why do I spend the way I do? It brings me to my other arch nemesis - shopping! Yes, I HATE shopping! I hate going into shops and walking out of them without having bought anything! It's not because I WANT to buy anything, but it's more like "oh I don't wanna disappoint the sales person, they were so nice and it looked like they had high expectations that I would leave with a purchase. I'd feel really bad if I just left without anything. Might as well buy something". And it's like that with EVERY shop I walk into. So I try to avoid shopping and shops completely :| But as soon as I'm out of the shop, I realize what an imbecile I've been with my money. I feel stupid for giving in like that, especially when it finally dawns on me that I CANT EVEN AFFORD ALL THIS JUNK! Too bad it always sinks in moments after I've pulled out the plastic...
Money sucks :|

bs isnt there that wonderful feeling of having something new thats makes all of this go away ;p?
Its not u.
Its the gemini in u.
We are all spendthrifts.
Get used to it.
U wont change.
My dad said that once and i never believed him, giltla la shda3wa, ill learn to be good with money.
Yeah right.
My younger siblings all have more money that me :P mo fashla?
I had to laugh because that sounds like me. If a salesperson is nice to me, I always buy something. I know they work on commision and I don't want to "hurt their feelings". Now what should I do with those clothes I'll never wear? :) sis from the usa
For me it's not about the sales people or anything it's basically that I am such a nuisance and I want everything, but not when it comes to clothes. The stuff that make me broke are Fast Food and Electronics. Truly nothing more than that, oh wait yeah and online shopping!
Can someone introduce me to a sugar daddy? :/ Please I want someone to spend money on me for a change LOL! I want gifts every day ;P

give me your money, you do not know what to do with it.
maybe you can open an account that strictly only allows you to take a certain amount per week so you'd get in the habit of being less of a spendthrift ..
Glad you liked the cheeseburgers :P
Besides, if your willing to keep it then you will mako shay isma comulsive oo ana ba9rif 3ala ayshay..Sure, most of my money is blown on either Food, Movies, or things that are perishable (Choc's, cereals, etc etc :P) Bas yala enjoy it now, I'm sure later on every one of us will be too wrapped up in life to even think about pampering themselves :P (ga9ib afalsich..neyahahaha)

zgomby.. wallah you slapped the nail right on its head. well said
FJ... being the "tijaary" person that you so obviously are, i know that the only reason you commented here is because you're hoping to benefit/profit/gain something for your own ma9la7a.
mark my words: whatever that thing is that you're hoping to achieve, trust me you're not getting squat. dont start your same old filthy FJ drama on my blog too. spare me, ive had enough of it in my life, thank you :)
we all know the subject isnt about you. you're the one who wrote a comment addressing NOT ME, but EVERYONE ELSE WHO VISITS MY BLOG.
go read your first comment babes. it's the most egotistical, snobbish, "high and might and so darn full of thyself" comment to ever appear on my blog. you wanna start a "look at me i got so much money, im SO HOT!!" debate, do it on your own blog. im sure you'll find other shallow, superficial people like yourself who would be interested in that sorta crap :)
oh and about liking flashy names more than quality, you're theeee expert at that :)
i'd rather keep my place snot-free
Wow your so manly..hehe ya7lailik, aham shay I don't keep coins in my car, ya 7abeeby ya 7yaty inta salim galbik wala, shoof il 5arda is2al sayigkoum 3anha lama ygi6ik ilthanaweya, hathy 7ag mi9afi6 ya mama, oo la ta36eeny nitham ana a9fi6 valet, kany radait your obvious reply for kil shay.

Ok enough with making fun of your sorry excuse for a life. Seriously, you make yourself sound more and more of a Fat Jackass (get it FJ hahaha wow I crack myself up). Anyways, itha you don't want to explain yourself or defend yourself laish mit7achy ikrimna biskootik a7san. La2ina 9ij shyab Self-Respect 7ag being stuck up..tikfa ti3alam shloun it7acha awal :P Yala baba dag il jaras roo7 dawim badaneya ;)
