As the Breadwinner

Ever since my dad stopped working, we started to experience some financial problems. Or maybe we already have financial difficulties before but i wasn't that aware since i am too young to understand such matters. Well, i cannot blame my dad for this because the situation is simply uncontrollable. He suffered from mild stroke which forced him to give up his work. In exchange, i am the one who took all the responsibilities and became the bread winner of the family. Good thing my father receives monthly disability benefits from both the Government and his previous employer. Being the eldest is really hard. You need to sacrifice a lot for your family. It's hard, Yes but i do not have any regrets. I am doing everything for them wholeheartedly. My parents help me a lot to become a strong person and i would love to bring that courtesy back by simply helping them as much as i can. Hopefully, this year will give me so much blessings. Right now, i am able to manage both of my school and work. I am earning quite good from my freelance web writing job and hopefully this year, i will receive more offers and opportunities especially now that i am planning to buy something for my self. I know it's kinda selfish but I guess sometimes i have to treat my self to motivate me and help me keep going. And if ever i got a chance, i will be joining some cash gifting programs to earn more this year. Well, wish me luck guys!

My Uncle's 2009 Toyota Venza

I got a chance to ride in my Uncle Stewart’s 2009 Toyota Venza yesterday and that was pretty amazing. The car is brand new and he just bought it last year. My Uncle is a busy type of guy and it’s really necessary for him to own a car for his travel and transportation purposes. I don’t know much about cars but we talked about it yesterday while I’m with him. He advised me that if ever I will buy a car, I have to make sure that it is insured so that I have nothing to worry about unexpected expenses due to some car damages brought by some minor a major accident. Speaking of car damages, my Uncle is very upset because of the mess done by his 7 year old son. His son accidentally spilled a choco drink on his floor mat which left unwanted stains. They tried to remove it but still, there are some visible spots left and now he is thinking of buying a brand new floor mats as a replacement. I told him that he can look for some car accessories including car floor mats for his Toyota Venza and purchase it online. I am very thankful for my Uncle as he shared some ideas and useful tips on how to take care of your car properly.
