because of some muppets at work i ended up missing gym *again*. i'm getting tired and totally annoyed for having to stay 1.5hrs later almost everyday just to wait for something thats supposed to be sent before 5pm as agreed upon. not to mention the disaster the whole firm is experiencing because of what was sent on friday that boss just called me to get confirmation it's not our side causing this issue - that we didn't touch the file on friday. oh well, let's see how it is tomorrow....
for the past few months i've been jotting down my expenses vigorously. i've been trying to do this since last year but somehow there's always entries with a '???' detail to sum the amount used for God knows what, especially during the weekend. now everything is written in detail, not even a cent went unnoticed.
why? well, i just want to be vigilant with my expenses especially with all the fine dining, activities and outing i've been doing for the past few months. by doing this, i know what my daily limit is and when i go overboard in one week i have to make sure to control my expenses on other days. plus now i have found a better method in doing this - which i'm going to stick with - personal accounting has never felt easier. with this i can really make sure to have a fixed savings that is untouched - literally. so far so good.
by doing this i realised something else. strepsils has gone up few cents within weeks time, for example. and i found ways to save more without suffering. like today i realised the 2L sunkist is way cheaper than those 250mls i bought daily for breakfast. so, why not bought the big one, pour it to a 250ml bottle and bring it to work daily? i also realised that the bread at the shop behind is cheaper (and apparently nicer) than the shop i frequent. you can save a lot more if you do more research and list down your expenses.
the more i do this the more respect i have for mum. ah mum, you have the toughest job indeed - controlling household expenses ain't easy.
