Prudence
Being a lecturer now, I am spending much3 less money compared to when I was a lawyer.
It could be because I was younger then & older now:
- I tend to have more expensive meals (maybe also because my office was smack in the golden triangle)
- there was more shopping, for gifts and clothes
- there were more excursions and invites (for weddings/ events/ launches) compared to now
One time I received an invite for a Volvo SUV promo (and have NEVER received it as a lecturer): it was a retreat somewhere, and we could test-drive the car on location. They must think that lawyers earn a lot. Well some do, but I was mostly broke then.
Now that I am in the teaching line, I dress quite moderately (I was never fancily dressed anyways) buy meals not just for me but also for the children, and am more at peace with whatever limited possessions I have. I may not experience luxury, but I have enough to get by and to raise the children. For this I am truly and utterly grateful.
