I gave 40$ to my brother that we earned selling the guitar that belong to him. A cheap kind anyways. I even split our 52$ that we earned from the garage sale last Saturday.

I don't bother redocorating the house because the amount is too little and my brother asked me to buy something to put the shoes in and a bookcase with that money. The thing is, he doesn't care if it's cheap and made of bad quality. So I was like... Whatever, we are not buying anything. I earned 26$ and that is going toward the challenge money.

Old amount: 3749$ + 26$
New amount: 3775$

The reason why I didn't bother buying those stuff is because we will toss it away like it's nothing or my brother will criticized it and he will find a way to replace it then he's going to ask me to split the money for something he bought. I'm through with everything he proposes! He never sticks to his proposition. All he can do is talk! Where's the action? Yeah maybe a little then he gives up. I have been supporting his decisions and everything but I have enought... I'm not going to believe him anymore.

There's also another reason why I'm piss at him. Is the message he passes to everyone in his hi5 profile.

"There's no such words that are valid to describe about myself, my personality, physical appearance and mind are always on progress, so its up to you to know me at the time that is givin to you.

generally, from my point of view.. im a very out going person, im an economist and an ecologist, i save money for my present/future needs and i recycle for the community so nothing goes to waste, im a pretty fast forwarded person and relationship is never a priority to me, what are considered a priority to me are: first of all.. my family(including my cousins), my goals, my friends(only those who have a solid respect for me "

Economist? Ecologist? He is far far far from being an economist. I tried helping him by suggesting him on ways to save. He said that it's not worth it or that he can't help wanting the things now. Alright, but don't be putting economist as part of you because you are an impulsive spender and you don't bother to fix it! All you do is whine whine whine but never bother to do anything about it. I suggested him that it takes patience, go to sites to read some saving techniques or anything. He doesn't bother to do it. Okay fine but he is not an economist! I told him : So yeah... You claim to be an economist... His reaction? Wahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha! Yet, he doesn't change his ways or change what he said.

He is not an ecologist either although he got the word wrong... He means environmentalist. I reminded him often to close the light, he said that he doesn't have the time to close all and make sure it's all close on his way out.He contributes to pollution by putting smoke outside to kill little insects, buying stuff then dumping it in the garbage and he liters.

As I can see, he claims to be someone he's not and he gets wow by people because his speech is really convincing. I was influence by him but I'm actually doing something. I admit that I sometime say and never do although if I really really want to do something or change it, I will do something not whine and hoping that it will go away soon. My brother said that he admires that I am a good saver.

I was a natural saver when I was little and he was a natural spender. I remember he stole money from me to buy junk from my cousin. He got so desperated at buying his things that he even stole money from my family. It has gotten out of control that my dad was trying to get back the money but my cousin said he don't have the money anymore. Sometimes, I wonder how much money my bro stole from me.

Oh yeah, I even remember the first time I got my bank account. I was so happy and curious.I knew right away how to use it by myself. I was exploring this wonderful machine and it feels good to put money in there. My parents were proud of me and they trusted me with the money. They even let me keep my bank account. My brother never put a cent into his account... Hahaha... It was funny. My account was growing and his was staying the same amount... I think around 900$. I had over a thousand already... Even near two thousand. Then my early teeenage years came along and I was spending the money like crazy. In less than three months, I was spending around a thousand dollar. It has cause me a lot of problems with my parents and I so they took my card away. I suggested them to give me a brand new account where I can do whatever I like with it. My dad agrees. Well since there's no amount in it, I have to start filling it up. When I turn 16, I started working after my trip to Vancouver. I was putting 50$ each payday in there and I made around 600$ in my saving account. When I quit my job, I didn't have anything to fall back on so I was using my savings for my personal need and I was trying to make it last while I was searching for a job. I was determine to save save save. When I got the job... Well the journey to the saving world starts.

Maybe I know why I really feel the need to save. My parents traumatized me so much by talking about money all the time when I was a teen. Man, it feels good when parents don't bother talking about money with you anymore. Although, my dad wants me to save but he wants me to buy everything by myself. Isn't that a little hypocrite of him? I told him I'm saving for something important like a trip. I already taken care of 90% of my needs and wants. Compare to my brother, it's like nothing.

UUm.. I just realised that I'm out of subject again like usual.. Sorry @.@... Well I guess I compare with my brother but really... I would not be pissed off at him if he was responsible. He is 20 going on 21 soon!!
