Salary oh Salary



 Recently, I got my salary. And I do my calculation for the things that I need and must pay... and oh oh...it wasn't good at all. It hard to make the end comfortably. With the things I have to pay and things that I have to save and spend, the figure is really frightening.

Before this, this matter doesn't really scare me much, but this month, has been different. Maybe because starting this year, I will be starting to be 30, I begin to feel more responsibility and thinking more rationally. Ok, I think the biggest starting point was since last year, I do a lot of big expenses, like helping my parents house decorations and renovations, buying my first house  (yeahhh, I got my first house) and went for trips ...

I felt it was so exciting to actually have a trip. It widen my view of the world and it was so fun, engaging and entertaining that I will not mind to go again. But it cost money to go there even though many were saying that our trip is really cheap.Then I also found things are not easy to get without money... and money crucial, because almost everything cost money. 

So, I list out my ways of handling my money starting this year.These are ways to reduce my expense, not adding my money yet...

1.  No more online shopping for me. This month, I bought two items that I regret buying it. Huhuhuhu, even though it doesn't cost much, but if I save that money, it will be much more benefiting.

2. I like snacking while driving and as I drive a lot, I tend to snack every time I drive. Mind you, buying food at the petrol station really cost much.

3. For now, I will use whatever I have now. That means, stop shopping and use whatever the things I have. The thing is, I always seek something even though I have similar item or the old item can still be use, but still....

4. I have to be stingy ... well, I do not agree with the last point, but well...

The importance of having right mindset….

Got it from a website, and share it here. These are quotations from famous people about hard work and perseverance and of course the right mind set.  It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." ~ Bill Gates "As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big." ~ Donald Trump "The last thing that people want to hear is the plain simple fact that the rich think differently [about money] than the poor ... They have what I call a wealthy mindset." ~ Robert G. Allen "If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. If your money works for you, you keep and control the power." ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki "Flaming enthusiasm, backed by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success." ~ Dale Carnegie "Actually, I'm an overnight success. But it took twenty years." ~ Monty Hall "I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look ...

2012

My 2012 has been a great year to me, and for that I am really thankful to Allah. There has been ups and downs and each one of it has been very meaningful to me. I started 2012 with a new place of work. The task become easier compare to the last my place of work. Less demanding and less pressure. But well, each place has it own problems. I encounter mine. But I take it lightly because it is not the problem that can caused me to feel angry. Instead the problem has shown me that I actually have issue with people. Then,turn out what I have to do is to just smile, ignore and do what I think is right. Do not bother what people think, as long as I do my work passionly and I try to be friend with them. Then, I discovered things about me. Like actually, I am not that very patient person. I will get what I want. It just, do not test my patience. It could be that I answer you back, or I will ignore that person totally. Actually, I hate the rush of impatience when it comes. It not good. And I ...

Jump Into Conclusion

Are you kind a person who easily jump into conclusion? Ok, let say, you meet a person who her parking skill is bad, so, without knowing her, without even say hello, you just says this to her, ‘are you paying for your license ( means that you are getting your license not in right way by paying your instructor so that your license is approved ?) I stumbled this kind a person yesterday. Luckily I am not that  kind a person who can answer back immediately, or there might be war. Just because you have a good car (by the way, it just vios, many people have it, and it still belongs to the bank, and within 7 years, many things could happen) and mine is MYVI, which I am very proud of it, it doesn’t serve you right to say that, to jump into conclusion to sarcastically says that easily. You do not even know me. I found it very rude. I have been in this situation, unable to park when the place is too crowded, but instead of getting sarcasm remarks, that person, offer me to help. That is cou...
