Lately,I have been noticing how boastful some of my friends can get.Actually,not some,but maybe 2 0r 3. It fustrates me when they do that.Boast.What do you gain by doing that?Satisfaction?Satisfaction at the thought that the person could be envious of you?At how "fortunate" you are that you have people spending on you?To me,that is nothing to be proud of because I believe that if you really want something,you should work hard,save hard and then buy it with your own money.Then only would the satisfaction be worthwhile.Then only you will be envied.

I am proud to say that from the age of 17,everything I wore and owned were from my own hard earned savings.My latest purchase?A Guess wallet.(Oh! Guess and Guess by Marciano are the same by the way.Just checked it out)A wallet which caused me $69.90.A huge upgrade from the 20 odd dollars I used to spend on something that is just used to keep some notes and shillings.$69.90 on a wallet! Was one reaction I got from people.Why not?It is Guess.Quality and hardiness is gauranteed unlike the cheaper wallets I used to buy myself.Also,buying expensive wallets is a norm.People my age do it too.So what is the big deal?

I started buying my own things at 17.My sisters?At the young age of 11 and 14 respectively.I am not trying to be a wet blanket here.I just think that if you want to flaunt what you have,make sure it was worth every effort of yours and not at the expense of others.

I hate it when I buy something and people out of sacarsam pass stupid remarks.Why? Only you can afford expensive things ah?And when I can afford it,it is too degrading to you? Too degrading to you who gets everything out of someone else's pocket? Bluek! Please! What I got was from my own! Beat that!

Lastly,I buy what I want and I care to hoods what people think.Even if it will cost me a bomb,I will be happy to let my money go for it as long as by the end of the day I am happy.My happiness matters most to me.Not you,him or her.

All it will take is one more irritant to tell me they "envy" me or is so "envious" of me and I will explode..on them.Gob bless that soul.
