I just looked at my transaction history. Stunned. The amount I have spent is really flagrant!!
Even though I work hard (yes, i do), I cant seem to save anything! Last month, my expenses shot up to $996!!!! WTF. From bike pracs, to food and entertainment, and health checkups, the amt I spent totalled that!
Waht was even more shocking is that I always thought I was a thrifty person, someone who doesnt spend much. I feel I am, but apparently not. Ppl say this is self-actualisation. Such awareness of myself really scares me. Was I always in denial, or just ignorant? I feel I am the latter.
Either ways, this squandering of cash and extravagance HAVE TO STOP.
the following step i will take to stop spending much, or limit my spending to $500:
1. limit my FOOD spending. i.e. limit the spending to $8/day = 8 x 31 = $248
2. Entertainment = 2 movie watching per month : $8 x 2 = $16
3. transport = $100
4. Bill = $50
5. grocery = $50
6. Miscellaneous = $36!!!
sounds impossible!! BUT I DOUBT I'LL SPEND SO MUCH ON FOOD. RIGHT?
