Holiday season is back, and I’m sure most of you out there have your own plans on where you’re bringing your family to chill out to. I’m not going anywhere this year (*roll eyes* Duzzin make any difference. I never go on a yearly vacation anyway) as there’s so many things going on in my life right at the moment and I simply do not have the budget for traveling expenses. Where finance is concerned, I’m currently being thrown a little off balance.
My husband and I are both having problems getting our clients to pay us for the projects that we did respectively, and there’s not much things for us to do except send these inconsiderate clients timely reminders that they have debts with us. I don’t know what’s wrong with people these days. Don’t they have any conscience? Perhaps that’s the case, that is why they don’t pay up after getting certain service or goods.
I’m really worried about my family’s finance right at the moment as we’re feeding on our savings, but worrying does not bring any positive effect to us. *sigh* It’s hard to remain positive, and I feel like crying and screaming in frustration at the same time.
Can things gets any worst? I have no idea. I can only tell myself that we already did all we can and God will provide. I know that things happened for a reason. Even financial problems. I have to have faith in Him. If I loose faith in Him, I will loose all.
Having experience all these, I recalled a quote by a famous inventor who created the phone; Alexander Graham Bell. He said, ‘When one door closes, another one opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us’.
How true. Perhaps instead of just worrying and waiting for people to pay up, I should try looking for other opportunities and make money out of them.
Cleffairy: Problem is… where is the ‘opened door’? Please guide us and let us see, God. T_T
It can. The money from my tuition, all that I scrimped and saved, is running out…and I will only have my measly pension to spend after this. Looks that there wouldn’t be any Christmas this year…nor Chinese New Year. Mwahuhuhuhuhu!!!!
