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...

Settle for minimal

This week, two of my friends, decided to start diet and out of sudden, I want to follow. So, starting this week, my nad my friends haven't touch rice. Well, I have eat rice twice, but my friend, zero. Ohh, dietting is so hard, but weirdly, I felt more energetic. I guess I'm going to stick with it so that I can achieve my dream boy. Jnegjengjeng. I cannot believe I talked about this because usually, I think it impossible to cut down on eating because I think I don't eat much. But still, I'm consider as fat. What I discover during this period is that I can still live goodly eventhough with lack of the things that I used to have. I'm kind a person who wants everything is there, is enough and I will be panic if my stuff is not enough and turn out its bad habit. I always ended up throw things at the end. Now, I wanted to live on a basic things. I think that will be good because I could save more and hopefully tae off same fat off my body. ;)

Impression of people is not always correct

Don't we always heard that the first impression is not always correct? But it also true that second, third and even after we know that a person for a long time, the impression we had in our mind about that particular person will not usually correct. Who am I to sayd about this? My mind telling me that. But it's freedom of expression. Is it something really annoying when you sees someone and that someone has bad expression of you? Well, but you cannot directly jump to that kind of conclusion. There must a reasons fro everything like maybe that person is ill during the time you saw him / her and that's why you got that kind of expression. My mom always taught me to think good of anything that you sees. Its much better and make your heart feel very easy instead of feeling hurt. And if you find something keep bother you and that make you feel hurt, try to ignore and let it go. Don't bother. why you should bother if that person doesn't bother?

Frugality

In my quest to find how to be rich, to be financially independent, to be able to settel my loans fast, I discover, no magic formula, except that I found this harsh word that is FRUGALITY.  I have to live frugally in order to achieve my financial goals. That's goes my dreams to do so many things if I want to achieve my financial goals. It makes me felt very sad and burden. As much as I wan to do and have so many things, I have to delay it until I really stable. Thinking back, the loans that I have now already burdensome to me, I cannot adding more debts.  Then, the other important matter is discipline. It takes a lot of discipline to achieved my goals. But my questions is, should I sacrifice to the extent of making me feels miserable, as long as I follow this rule? Like example, I have a problem with housemate, so I decided to stay alone, and I know I save money more if I share, but it will make me miserable as my previous experiences has taught me very bitter experiences. ...
