Broke, that I am... So not a good feeling. For someone who's working, I'm supposed to be able to have money, at least enough to start being financially independent from my parents however that is not the case for me.

Imagine this: Me at McDonald's, confidently giving my order out to the cashier while casually handing him over the Ang Pao Coupon they've distributing (I wanted to save what little money I had). He punches my order in and I almost choked when I saw my bill: P73. I only had P70 in my name, P3.00 short. I nervously fish my bag for some loose change - luckily I found enough to not cancel my order but it left me for broke. B-R-O-K-E.

Liz is BROKE. I had no money whatsoever - not even enough change for a jeepney fare home. I'm broke and I don't even have any money left on my ATM which by the way is now closed. You know, being broke is very depressing and I hate being so.

So this year, I'm determined to resolve my money problems. I'm determined to become financially stable. I don't want to go through life always computing how much money I have - if I have enough to buy me food. No way. No how. I don't want my life to be like that.
