  Lai lai lai, get on your soap box and spill. Just heard on the news that for the second time in a row, Americans have not been saving. The savings rate for 2006 was -1. The last time this happened was 1933 and 1934. Hmm...

  Does this mean you have a more than healthy bank account? What in you makes you stingy? Share your secret?

  I thank God for giving me this new job where I see a few hundred left in my account for the past 3 months. I use to over spend to the extend I could not pay my credit card bills.
  
  I decided celebrate by signing up for a $3600 IPL-Massage package at Wellness Village Spa (by installment la)

  i have to agree with this statement. That's why I put my CPF OA into funds. Have one agent who has been v good at spotting good funds. He help my funds earned 37% in the last 14months. (on the downside i got another agent who dun know how to help my funds grow. grrr)

  I always dream about spending money that I do not have
  
  But no, I do not spend more than I earn, although temptation is always around the corner.
