It's Just Money.

It happens. You drop a fifty dollar note on the streets and don't realize it till you get home. You missed your flight and had to book a new one that set u a few hundred bucks back. Or you accidentally made an international phone call, and your phone bill of the month is now $150 instead of $50. Or, you purchased expensive electronic gadget just to find that a week later, the novelty has wore off and it's now collecting dust in the pile of unused gadgets which include two hard disks, a Tamagotchi, a PSP, an iPad, an iMac, a MacBook, and an iPod, because, really, what can you not do nowadays with a single iPhone? 

What would u do? Kick yourself hard in the ass for allowing yourself to waste that kind of money? 

My parents were the type who always made a big fuss about how "wasteful" it was when accidents occurred and how much money could have been saved if said accident didn't happen. Growing up, I used to give myself a hard time when stuff like that happened too. 

Now, I am not trying to advocate an extravagant and reckless lifestyle (I personally encourage the habit of saving) but you know what? 

Why cry over spilled milk?

Rachel's to Guidelines to Happiness: If you lose something, remember that the payment is (almost) always worth the lesson learnt

Just learn from your mistakes, be thankful you didn't lose more than you did, and remind yourself to be more careful in the future. 

It's just money. Losing it is painful, but happiness is yours to control. 

Do you allow the circumstance to affect you? Or do you choose to remain happy? 

Just remember: your next paycheck is just another 30 days away.
