This post was actually part of another post, but i thought why not just extract it out... and put it as a seperate one, since this is so long too...
So.. just to explain why i'm not rich... and that i'm actually quite broke...
People tend to think that i'm very rich because i have been so hardworking, teaching tuitions... But this is a job that doesn't give any passive income, so, i work, i earn, i don't work, i don't earn. In good times, i can earn up to 4k a month, but often is that. And if that 4k were to come, i assure u that the months following that 4k-month, will be about 1-2.5 months of... less than $500... And most of the time in a year, tuition goes on for an average of about 7.5 months each year, taking into account, the non-examination period, school holiday, misc. holidays and student sick, i sick, unable to fix a time for lesson due to other unforeseen changes/ events. Being a student+ Part time student as well, i do have limited time for tuition.
Giving myself an income of 2K each month(for 7.5 months= 15k) from tuition, and spreading them over an entire year, i draw an average of salary = 1.25K each month.
This amount have to cover for all my food and expenses over the month, cos i haven't been taking any allowance since 2004? perhaps. There are times when extra money is spent due to gifts... Buying computer and etc. In these 4 years, my few biggest expenses are 1. Fujitsu laptop, 2. Lenovo Computer, 3. Driving lesson (half paid for by my mum), 4. Handphones, 5. Gifts!!
So.. u know why i'm broke now??
