Have you had a good year?

I appreciated every little happy moment of this year and even if there had been hard times, after all, everything is going well. Reconsidering, I had to say a big "thank you" to my family and friends because they never had caused me any troubles. 

If I had to mention all good things that have happened in my life I think it would be a lot, for example, the birth of my brother, my family, the scholarship I get last year to study abroad, the fact that I could study in the university where I wanted in first place and live in another city, etc. I'm not saying that I have not passed for bad moments but I hardly stop to feel sorry about oneself or regret them, I think if they happened, they were caused by our own actions or maybe for inexplicable reasons.  

This year was the first year that I live alone and with responsibilities, so it was a little bit harder than when I was abroad, I had have to pay bills, organise my money and my time, be responsible with the studies and a lot of other things that I never had to be worry about. Thinking about how the things had been going, it had been a good first year of university, I had meet a lot of interesting and likeable people,I had made friends and visit new places. Even when I complain that I don't like to study some subjects, the stressful periods with tests or investigations and the fact that I won't be able to spend Holidays with my family, I have to say that I'm happy and I don't regret my choice.

Money

Hello people! Today's topic is money. 

Well, I don't consider myself as a person who is always worried about money, actually I would like that the economy works by exchange of products made by ourselves and reusing the things that other people rejected, but in the real world you only can get most of the things buying them. 

So, I think money is important to buy the products we need for living (even if you can make your own organic vegetable garden, for food for example, not all people can do that because of the places they live or other reasons) but we don't have to allow the money to became our owner, I mean, we have to be careful to became dependents of buying. 

Most of the money I spend is for food and transportation costs, but occasionally I also like to buying other things like clothes, books or accessories, I think when you grow up and have people depending on you it is more difficult and you have to organize your money differently, being more responsible and paying bills before spend it buying things for yourself. 

If I were a millionaire, maybe the first thing I would do is to pay the studies to all my family (that are very expensive in this country), buy nice houses where they can live for the rest of their lives and then I would put away a big part of the total amount in order to save it and no waste it. I also would like to donate money to non-governmental organizations and work with them, and in a more individual way I would like to spend the money travelling for the world.
I think is a little bit difficult to think if I had to pawn any of my belongings because generally in movies the people pawn gold things, furniture and even their houses, but I don't have any accessories made of gold and I live at my aunt's house so I couldn't pawn it, maybe it would be clothes or my cellphone, I don't know if a hockshop would pay properly for them.
