Do scrimp on…

CLOTHES—there are definitely a lot of cheap but nice clothes…try having your clothes tailored. I envy TPS because she can make clothes for her daughter, and they are really nice!

EXPENSIVE COFFEE—I don’t like coffee, so this not a problem for me. :)

EATING OUT—This should be limited to special occasions…better to just save the money  for travelling! :)

ELECTRICITY—Pull out the plugs of the appliances that are not in use—i sometimes forget this with the TV

KID’S TOYS—I think it’s better to buy books! :)

I cannot think of anything else…I am not really a good saver but i am gonna try and be one… I know a lot of experts on good budgeting like the husband’s wife and kg and I intend to be like them…again, wish me luck! hehehe!

What would you want?  Be frugal and live a simple life and have the time to spend with your family because you don’t have debts to pay or be extravagant and  have expensive items and having to work your butt off to pay for all the things that you do not really need?

Do not scrimp on…..

January 20, 2009

HEALTH—I know someone who stopped taking vitamins because she is saving up…i think that’s crazy! I also got so mad to my brother for not completing the vaccines of my niece, he just completed it after my niece got pneumonia.

FOOD—because eating makes everyone happy! :)

EDUCATION—My husband and I  will really work hard to send Cassie to a good school because I want her to have a bright bright future! 

TRAVEL—this I have only realized when I met my husband…How I wish that I have saved up for travelling…The farthest that I have been to is Bicol…hehehe! But it’s not yet too late! I wish to travel with Dadda and Cassie. I really hope to do that soon… :)

I just thought of writing about this since my favorite seatmate and I are constantly talking about ways on how to save money or how to budget… I don’t know much about saving or budgeting…I am still in a very very bad financial situation…but I hope to change that before Cassie starts school! ;) Wish me luck!
