Disclaimer

I started blogging with Blogger in 2005 and slowed down as I reached my blogging end in 2010. I have attempted to save all the blog entries in monthly archive pages. It's quite interesting to go back and see my novice, naive enthusiasm for music making and playing, as well as travelling. I also notice that I used a lot of exclamation marks! I must have been excited. For a while, anyway... I note that I slowed down quite a bit from 2008 onward; the momentum of my first batch of songs—written, released, and toured—had worn off. Also, I was amidst my first real bout of homesickness—I was living in New Zealand. A couple other things to note. Some of my spelling is American rather than British/Canadian (I'm Canadian). Regrettably, I note that I used the word "tits" a lot—for a while—without being conscious of how senseless, unnecessary, and thoughtless doing so was. Please take what you read with these grains of salt. Return to the root/index of the blog.

Saving versus borrowing

Having experienced both scenarios, I'll say that I prefer saving first and then enjoying the spending, rather than enjoying the expenditure of borrowed money and then having to recover the money. The joy of the initial expenditure doesn't last throughout the process of recovering the money! But if you save first, then you have that "light at the end of the tunnel", you can "keep your eye on the prize", and then you can enjoy the expenditure and afterwards there is no yucky, depressy, I'm-in-debt feeling. Think about it!

Regardless, I'm lucky I have a lot of credit available to me, and suck as it does, I am repaying as quickly as I can.
