Like what they always say, when you earn more, you spend more. :D I have no problem with my job anyway and I actually think they're paying me more since half the time we're not really doing anything. I am just shocked with everything I seem to be spending for. :P And taxes are EVIIIIIL. When I see my payslip every month, I wonder where my taxes really go. Hmm. I could buy two of my brother's birthday gifts with my monthly taxes. Hay hay. Fruity: Yes it’s a cool gift. :D Haha it’s so biiig.

Ah, I know what you mean about spending more when you earn more... A few years ago, my earnings jumped up considerably... about US $10,000... Unfortunately, it put me in a higher tax bracket, so the government took a bigger chunk of my pay. Then I thought I had more, so I was spending more... The irony was, I was supposedly earning more... and working MORE HOURS... for essentially, what seemed to amount to the same pay before my salary raise. It wasn't really worth it -- more responsibility, more hours, more stress at work, less play. That's why I left the 9-5 corporate office job 2 years ago. Oooh, that’s a cool gift.
