One sad truth in my life is this: Either I have time or I have money. I can't seem to have both at the same time.
I was out last night with my buddies from Shopwise and we were talking about taking an out of town trip for the gang. There were many options floated: Boracay, Camiguin, Pagudpud, even Bangkok and Hongkong. Since I am not working, I can definitely fit all these in my schedule. Unfortunately, my savings barrel is going to run empty should I do so. I am living off of my savings, and therefore, I have to practice frugality.
If i do get a job, I would be back to the usual humdrum routine of work-home-work again. I will have my regular stream of income but my life will be such a bore. Again.
Now that I have all the time in the world to do all the things I've always wanted to to do (travel, learn a new sport, shop, take a language class, hang out with friends, read books, watch foreign films, etc), I cannot do them because I simply cannot afford them. Doing many things these days is rather expensive. How ironic isn't it? I bet this is life's way of telling me I can't have my cake and it eat too.
