Is it being materialist and self-centered if you think about yourself and your future ???? Befor i got married ,my friends used to call me materialistic just bcoz i used to listen to my Head than my heart. Simply put...i would not get married to anybody just bcoz i loved him,but would also look at other thing like 'does he have a job to sustain a family', is he realistic or is he just in the world of dreams, is he responsible for his acts etc....things which are very important to me. i didn't want to get maried to any guy who was in his own fancy world and would not want to face the actual real world. If i think about myself...to lead a nice life that i have been living, is it termed as shelfish and materialistic ????

Don't listen to what anyone else says, selfishness is a virtue. It just means looking after your own interests, and if you're not looking after yourself, who will?

I bet you are right,if we dont love and lookafter ourselves who will? And perhaps we do have the right to think of our future!

NOpe..all i can say is that you just simply putting yourself to a better life in the future... i think iT's just normal to a person to sees what's BEST for her/his self in the future life.. i think it's you who knows and decide for a better life and NOT the other peoples viewpoint to US,,.. so LET IT BE WHO YOU ARE..don't matter what others say!!!! #jam# ~live life~ keep it simple***
