the best

many people ask me why i spend so much money, on clothes, on food, on games. my answer is a very simple one, i want to get the most out of my life, and money helps me enjoy my life. with my current allowance, i spend it to enjoy myself and get the best for myself.

a simple analogy will be that when a guy finds a girl (and vice versa), he will look around for the best in all aspects. when a soccer club buys a player, they will find the best for their money, who matches with the mentality and tradition of the club.

i spend my money on the best food, best clothes and best entertainment because i am getting the best for me. doesnt it sound so hedonistic and self centred? but i feel everyone does it too. its the same as studying to get the best results, training to be the best, all for yourself. i do all that too, study, and train, but nobody notices it.

moreover, when i spend money it is often with friends, and i believe they benefit from my spending too. unlike when someone studies, no one benefits from that. so im not as selfish as those people, i share my happinese and enjoyment of things.
