Live your life moderately.

When I said "Live your life moderately", I refer to you life in term of financially. Spend your money moderately and smartly. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you can't live your life to the fullest. Go on. Enjoy the most in every moment in your life. You deserve it. I'm also enjoying my life to the fullest. When you want to live your life to the fullest, it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice all the money that you have. You just need to make full use of it and make sure it is the optimum ways to spend.

For example, many people are so obsess with branded clothes. They thought the more expensive the cloth is, the more quality it is. Sometimes, they are willing to pay more than RM200 for just a pair of jeans. I think they are wrong and a little bit stupid. You can get a pair of jeans for just less than RM50. Mine just RM39. All the jeans are just the same for me whether they are branded or not. One of my friend tell me that people will notice the brand of cloth that you wear. Actually, the real thing is no one will look at your brand tag and they don't even care what brand you wear as long as you are not naked in front of them.

Next example is about cars. People lost a lot of money for their cars. Some people are willing to be hungry just to make sure they can buy a luxury car like Mercedes Benz, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini. This people they love their car more than they love other living creatures. Some of them don't even have their own house just because most of their money are use to pay the car installment. Other people thought these type of people are the successful people, but the truth is their life is full of misery. They even can't  give enough love to their children because they always work more to pay the car and got no time for their family.

This two examples is about people who have an extreme life financially. They don't want to have a moderate life. Their life will never feel peaceful and their money will never enough. Debt will be their best friend forever. Just be simple. Live moderately. You will be shock after you realize how much you can do with your money if you spend it smartly. Be a smart consumers. Don't be a retard with full of egos.
