"Who said money ain't everything?"

"Who said money ain't everything?"

I had 2 mails in my post-tray today, near by the office in the Humanitas building are many post-trays, from people who live here. Everyone has there own tray. The two mails came from my care-allowance, I was already expecting maill from them. I have to pay money back, and it's alot of money. Why do I have to pay it back?  Well, before I went 'for good' to Canada, I had to stop this 'care allowance,' cause it's not alowed that they pay you every month when your overseas.But I totally forgot to stop them, together with a few other things, it was a hectic, moving month back in October 2009.

Care-allowance is a contribution by the Dutch government for the premium for health insurance affordable for everyone. Whether the claimant is entitled to care allowance and how much is predominantly a function of: its household composition (such as single, family, partner) and the height of the (joint) income. The Tax/Benefits provides payment of the allowance. The care allowance is intended for applicants with a minor (combined) total income. (Thank you, Wikipedia and Google translate) 

 So yeah, the payment. This company want me to pay alot of money, and they came with two options. First option is, I can pay them the whole sum of money all at once. (Sure!) If I do that I have to pay the whole amount before the 30th of May from this year. The second option sounds more reasonable, Installmens, I can pay them in 24th months, 23 times I pay them 76 Euro, then the 24th month I pay them 57 Euro, then I'm done. If I do that I have to pay the first amount of 76 Euro before the 30th of may from this year, plus I have to pay interest if I do it in installments. Sigh! "I wanna be a millionaire... sooo frigging baaad!"

 
I know what it is to live in not-wealthy, my parents and I have been there, we didn't know else. We came by and that's it. I can be very carefull with money, I can go into shops and have a look around and just don't buy anything, I will just look. I can walk in to grocery shops and buy the cheapest food and only what I need. That's defenitly a must at the moment, I really have to take care of my money. I'm still saving money from the money I get every week from Humanitas (Food money, 40 Euro) www. Howtobecomeamillionaire.com 


Work was nice today, again I worked with wood. I finnished the child-seat-set, two tables, two 2 -seats, and two 1-seats. I really like to work on such things, but ofcource it can't be always fun. I had to saw alot of laths today aswell and drilled many holes into the same laths, boring work but it was okay. Tomorrow our boss wants to bring a self made cake to work, she did it before, nice right? Sometimes one of the guys at work bring something to eat, or I should say something to snack. Me? I should aswell bring something one day. Money, sigh! I will tell tomorrow how the cake was, for now I have to stop writting otherwise my coffee gets cold!
