No Bed of Roses

Life Is Not A Bed of Roses Afterall
If all you read in my blogs are good things, happy events, positive comments, then I must be acting. In shows, everything is happy ending, happily after. In shows, the romance stories are also so nice, but do you really have them in real life? Not that I have seen before. So my blogs are not ‘acting’, my blogs are real life story, which contains life’s ups and down.
I am not a superwoman. I may have a degree but so what if I have a degree? I consider myself normal and ordinary person. No matter how hard I try, there are always people who are better, there are people who do not have better life than me. I am not going to compare, but what I want is just able to lead my life, my family life, peacefully and happily.
I had blogged about working from home a few days ago at Money Sick. Getting employed means you can have a stable pay every month. You can be sure of getting all your home loans or mortgages settled once your pay is in. For people who work from home, they do not have any special benefits from any companies. Richard and I work from home. We have no companies that sponsored anything for us. Neither do we have any special mortgage payment protection for our house. We have to earn our own money. We cannot even have remortgage because we do not have any payslips, paychecks or even a fixed monthly or stable monthly pay. Every month, we are using our savings to pay for loans. Just a few days to a week ago, I was told that soon, the CPF will be depleted. Cash has to be pumped in to pay for the home. This is terrible. The worst is yet to come.
For these reasons, I am earning hard for money. I cannot afford to sit there do nothing. As a woman, I need to look after families and children. Getting employed means that I do not have flexible time. Working as a financial advisers, require me to travel around. I need to prepare cases whenever I have appointments. All these take time, money and energy. All I can say now is I am contented with what I have and what I am doing. The worst, which yet to come, I shall have to fight with it. Life is just like a warrior. Do not search around for something to lean on, lean on yourself. We have to fight with life to survive, survive for the seek of our love ones.
