Today, I went to take the bus with my brother to sign up for a membership card at blockbuster, turned out I need to be 18 years old. I was pissed for wasting my 2$ for nothing and my brother wanted me to go back with him another time. I don't want to go back, not for a long long time, because I don't see the point of wasting 2$ on transportation just to get a membership card there when he can do it by himself.

After blockbuster, my brother wanted to buy an aquarium for his new fish and a couple of things. His total spending is around 40$! I wonder where he got the money... Eum.. From his piggy bank saving. He took my advice to put all his coins in his piggy bank but he end up using them all... Not that he was saving for anything particular but to continue his spending on things that he wants. He even told me after that he should start saving his money... Okay, you just spent 40 something on aquarium, now you have five aquarium at home, a tons of fish... What else? He wants to buy another aquarium for other fishes that he's planning to buy in the future. Now he's broke and he's waiting for his paycheck to arrive next week. I wonder if he'll spend his money again on aquarium.

He asked me advice on helping him to buy carbon thingy for his fish, buy a big bag that cost five times more than the small bag, I gave him my thoughts and I asked him questions such as : Are you going to keep your fishes for a long time or are they only temporary ? If you're planning to keep them for a long time, say more than five years, take the big one, it'll save you hep of money, if you're planning to keep them less than five, then buy the small pack. He chose the small pack.. The reason he asked me this is because he wants me to pratice my financial skill with him since I'm planning to be a financial planner and he needed my help to decide. I told him that a financial planner doesn't help you with your purchases, they help you when you have problem with your money or you're planning to do something in the future, etc.... Geez, brother sure doesn't know the difference... He'll be a perfect psychologie guy but I don't think he'll know the value of the dollar anytime soon. I still love him as he is but he needs help saving his money... He spends too much.
