You know, although I don't have much money in my pocket, I feel very contented with my life right now. With extra money I will end up buying more things I don't need. Most likely I will buy more watches.
I like this color:
AQ-S810W-1A4V
It is the same as Tough Solar that I own except it is all black. Selling for RM137 + 12. Nice to look at.
If I manage to secure a publishing contract, I probably buy these two. Might as well break the bank with the high end although I am not that keen at all:
Nope... Just for viewing pleasure. I need price over functionality
-------------------
OK, I think I had enough reveries about watches.
Maybe one more:
There, enough of visual indulgence for the day. This is anytime better than smoking cigarettes or dope. This is my high now. Just looking a[s] value for money watches.
To top it up, lets end with a bang:
Yes, once upon a time I was crazy about the Submariners. Now looking back, they too are clouds in the coffee.
You know what? I rather buy the milk than the cow. This is good enough. This is pretty much my delight for the day. The feeling is better than owning the watches. As with the homage Submariners, the pleasure is in the watching. As far as owning watches is concern, I had my cup filled to the brim. I had reached the saturation point.
Once I cannot see the practicality I will get turned off. Much like other things that I own. The thrill is in the chase, not the kill. I guess that's why I prefer Pornhub than actually going for the real thing.
I think Pornhub is the best value for money among the things I have access to. Looking at watches is pretty much like looking at Pornhub. To buy is a painful experience when you know you should be spending less than RM100 a month.
Henceforth surfing the internet is a poor man's version of virtual window shopping. In the meantime, I am VERY happy with what I have in my stable. They are my source of inspiration and happiness.
Again, the key to happiness is to live in gratitude and below my means.
-----------------
Same with having my Tetrahedron. It's a very practical solution to the conventional thinking. I have 2 wives without having the hassle to manage my limited resources. All I have is my 24 hours. I only need to manage that precious time between my assets.
I think I managed to do that well with my Tetrahedron. It boils down to again, being microscopic. Have you ever wonder about those people who have all the time for the rest of the world and none for their love ones? Well, I solved that problem too.
Nothing beats the feeling of gratitude.or amtinan in Arabic. No wonder that was the advice my father always gave me. Gratitude is as valuable as cash. It gives the feeling of prosperity without having too spend too much money.
What if I have 1 billion in the bank and I don't use it? It's like the story of these population on an island that measure their wealth using rocks. The richest family on that island owned the biggest rock but it is underwater. That is the same as billionaires who own so much but don't spend.
Well the very idea of wealth is to have enough so that you only spend on the interest. So if I work backwards, in order for me to spend RM6000 a year, all I need is RM120,000 in the bank.
Meanwhile I should make an effort to earn RM1000 a month from my writing skills..
I need to keep my spending at minimum. As I said, I will cap my expenses beyond this point. I will not splurge beyond RM100 a month. That's why I am not going to replenish my Swiss Army Altitude perfume. From now on I just use the RM24 Adidas Get Ready perfume. Good enough is good enough.
If I don't buy big ticket items, I hardly spend money. I'll save it for the rainy days like when I need to replace the phone, the PC or a running shoes.
I should be thinking the opposite of the masses.
Well Sarah, I need to constantly remind myself of all these because I have another 22 year to go. If everything goes on well, I should have RM80 k in the bank when I am 75 years old.
Of course I should be earning as long as I live. I however need to be smart in my financial decisions. I got to minimize cost as much as possible. At the same time I got to minimize expenditure. It's not how much I earn but how much I save.
As it is, I had found my utmost pleasure in life. My watches are now central to my delightful living. They are such a joy to own. For a total of slightly above RM4 k I think I am ready to put a cap to my investment on watches.
I still own other things. Books are aplenty. Clothes, knives, shoes and also a brand new car. I will not be enjoying all these if I don't do AHAD and OMAD. That is what it boils down to; my ability to be thin and fast. That is the Path I'm pursuing. The Path of Health and Happiness.
