Reality hits

Jan 27, 2011 10:17




So yes, my salary may be over RM2K but in actuality, I just have enough to survive (with a little bit of extras here and there)

Will explain more about my monthly expenditure when I have time because first off, this is NOT a bid to gain sympathy from anyone (yes Mum, I don't need money. Just explaining why I DON'T spend that much even though I earn more than my PR days) nor to show off to people that I have a lot of assets in hand (more like debts for now =_=) Just to show that why I won't pay for that RM200 haircut, or a pair of designer glasses yet.

I know this is coming way so yes, I admit that I am equally as frugal like the boyfie except that well, he has a car loan to pay and me, my housing loan and etc.

And no, my company haven't approved my mileage allowance yet in case anyone asks. Maybe that will ease off some of my expenses but still, it's not much.

Anyway, what I'm trying to conclude here is : This is one reason why I won't return to media industry for work. A PR fresh-grad only gets approx RM1600 - RM1800 max. And increment isn't exactly guaranteed by a yearly basis nor is there performance appraisal available for future promotions.
