So... This is the first time that I'm doing this, and as I have no other online place to to vent (well, maybe there are few places available), I'd rather place my thoughts here, current or otherwise.

I'm just in a piss-y mood. My sister's been asking again if we'll have a savings account come October. I'm just tired of agreeing with her that, yeah, I'll have money come October, I can open a savings account. I know she means well, but it's just too damn frustrating most of the time that she keeps on nagging me about it.

I'm 23. And I know that age is no reason not to have any money saved. It's just that, it's my money. I earn it, decently, and I most certainly use a fair share of it to help pay the bills around the house.

We're supposed to have that savings account just this January, but it didn't materialize because I was still paying off some debts and God-knows-what.

I just don't get why she just doesn't open a savings account on her own. I mean, we're just siblings. We exist primarily as two separate beings. Why she has to wait for me to have money left for savings for us to both open up a bank account, I have no idea. I kind of got tired this morning and asked her why she nags me still. Her reason: "What if I'm not here to nag you about saving? What will happen to you then?"

Now, here's the problem. I'm very generous. I earn a measly amount (okay, while not small, I still don't earn the amount of money I can live lavishly on), but even then, I try to, I dunno, spoil the people around me. If I had my way, I'd have bought my mom Louis Vuitton bags, some Prada shoes, a nice hybrid car with a paid chauffeur, a Blackberry Curve, a better-looking home in the province and probably an entire closet full of designer clothes. But I still cannot afford that, but I will, possibly.

I just want to learn on my own how to effectively manage my own money. I don't want that forced upon me. I know it may be too little too late before I can set my mind straight and keep a steady amount of money monthly, but I do want to. I may not be showing it, but I do intend to save up.

It's just pisses me off that other people who are seemingly concerned for my well-being take it upon themselves to tell me what to do.

Boy, I do hope I'm not like that.
