Weekly Budgeting

"Aiyo!"

Thats my reaction when I calculated how much I've spent for one week. For people who wants to make changes to their financial habits, instead of starting to look at stocks and shares trying to be the next oracle of tanjong pagar, I say you can...

Instead,if you follow me and carry a notebook around, you could start logging all your expenses. It includes everything you put money out for from your NETs and cash only. trip to trip doesn't count and items paid for using credit cards do not count.

After one week of logging, it puts alot of things into my prospective. I can now see what I spend on and perhaps try to cut on that one thing.

For this week, I spent a bit over $300!! Is quite high, but I spent $160 on valentine's day prep. Its costly but again, I'm not budget ken, I'm just cutting corners to afford for NICE THINGS in life. Although these nice things are for my girlfriend.

Feb and Mar are months which I bleed the most amount of money. Events include my girlfriend and mine's birthday, CNY, valentine's day, my mum's birthday.

Boomz...planning a sydney drive to melbourne trip. Fingers cross.
