Yesterday we got the new car. It’s not much, just a Dacia Logan, local car, but it does the job. Our vacation house it way up in the mountains and the road is bad, to say the least. What feels great is that you realize your hard work pays off in the end. Last vacation was a new apartment, this vacation is another one and this car. Yeah, I have a big bank loan, but I can pay it and I would have never got so much money from the bank if it wasn’t for this job of mine. Long live the cruise ships! Some achievements should be kept for yourself, some should be shared. It’s never a good idea to brag about the things you own or do to your colleagues. Why? Because, even thought you might think they will be happy for you, you’ll get the opposite effect, meaning, they will be jealous of you, start avoiding you, or even worse, they will start talking bad about you. It doesn’t matter you are smart and do your job well, the only reason you got your promotion is because you slept with the boss. Who cares if the boss is gay (happens a lot on ships)? Doesn’t matter, your “friends” will still say you slept with him/her. Got new expensive stuff? Of course, you must have done some shady business! It’s impossible for some of them to realize that you can actually save some money. Most of them just spend their wages on silly things such as dinner in the best restaurants, clothes from the best brand shops, taking the most expensive tours and end up home, after 6 months of hard work, with a big bag of clothes and an empty pocket. Then, after the vacation is over, they start all over again. You’ll see a lot of them working on the ships. Irresponsible people who took that job just to have some fun. Having fun is ok, but remember, you’re there for a reason, and that is to make some money and settle comfortable home. Make an habit to put aside part of your salary and send it home to your bank account or family. If you don’t have it, you won’t spend it, right? So, I was saying…it’s not good to show off, but sure feels great to do it. And I just couldn’t help it… Labels: home, money |
