Life is 4 fun or 2 slog?

This topic has always interested me.Should I be satisfied with my job which pays me enough to live a peaceful and satisfied life or should i agakn slog hard for GMAT or GRE get a good score and again slog my ass off for other 2 years only to end up in company which might pay me more but will definitely suck my every drop of blood?
I always dreamt of me doing MBA from a hifi college and then end up in a company which pays me a huge pay and i can afford any damn thing i want in my life....but luckily or unluckily i got into ORACLE and one year down the line i really am happy to be working here not because i am happy with the work i am doing but because of the time it gives me for doing other things in life.I have enough money to feed myself,feed my car,go to some of the best pubs in bangalore etc etc.There were sometimes when i cribbed about the nightouts they made me do but nevertheless they had their own fun.
Now lets see the other option,prepare hard for maybe 2 or 3 months give my GMAT exam get admission into a good college.Everyone knows how hectic an MBA course willbe.....so again have to study hard,give presentations,exams nd blabla...I might miss the student life but I have seen 20 years of it.Completion of MBA course doesnt mean that they will just feed you with money.A higher package means higher responsibility, more and more work.They might pay me double of what i am getting now but I am afraid i willnot have enough time to even spend the money happily.
Finally my decision,i might not get huge payslips but i will have time in life to spend watever money i earn happily,i might not have a fancy car but i will have a car which will not only carry me to my office but some of places where i can get to see the world i actually want to see,I will stick to this job and go wherever it takes me...But but never know what the money factor can make us do.2 years down the line donot be surprised if i a post a pic with my MBA degree.Life is soo very unpredictable.

We live for ourselves or for society ?

The way we act,we eat,we dress depends a lot on the people around us.....so i always had a doubt are we doing all this to present ourselves in a good way to ppl around us or are we trying to get attention of people around us ???

To start off with a simple example when a plate of biryani is placed on your table at a restaurant wats da best way to eat it ? hand or with the cutlery they provide ?answer should be obviously hand but still we still pick up the cutlery they provide and eat. why?? Is it because our hands will get dirty ? Or is it because we want to present ourselves in a good way to the society ? Or  is it because people around should not think you as uncivilized ?
People say the best way to live is to do things which please you but we restrict ourselves while doing many things only to please the people around us and we ending up being unsatisfied. How many people say no to this ?

So now what should i do ? Should i do things which please me ? or should i do things which please people around me ? I think the best way is to do thinngs which please us until it hurts peoples feelings or people it self :P

Money earned to be saved or spent ?

Every last working day of month when i get my salary credited to the bank the only thought which comes to my mind.....how should i spend it ???? no no .....how should i save it????....no no .....how much i should spend ???? ....no no how much i should save ??? .

Then starts the month
1)sir,rent to be paid
2)sir,electricity bill to be paid
3)cook,maid,netbill,groceries etc etc
4)Sir,Car loan.

Now that i have cleared all my bills it is time for saving. Then comes a friend,dude lets have a party,lets booze and yeah this is the toughest part to resist So you obviuosly end up spending not less than thousand bucks.Do not forget it is tough to resist the whole month with single party.So the parties keep happening and each time thousand bucks keep vanishing.In addition to these fuel,bus trips etc etc keep happening and the money still keeps vanishing.

Now when the last week of month is left we suddenly realize we have to save something and look at the bankbalance only to find balance -> 0  . Somehow the week passes and the last working day of month arrives and the salary is again credited..

Again the month ends with the thought....'Should i save or should i spend ? ' Funny life but reality.
