This is probably the Da Vinci of all blog title posts I’ve ever made. It simply the budget for 2008. Yes, people as it seems my money splurging days are over. Actually, I dun splurge that much, just that I collect than spend it all away or because of some crappy business.
Anyway I gotta start saving, according to my gestimation, I think I can save a $1000 by end of May(twists his fingers and prays unwillingly).
Ok here is my money situation weekly,
$50 a week from STINGY mommy and WILLING daddy
Average of secret $15 stash from dad
Earns abt $100 bucks from two days work.
Spending (GOD THIS KILLS!!!)
$50 for cigs (SINGAPORE SHIT!)
$50 for food (in my gestimation)
$25 for pure crap (sweets, tissues, donations, crapping at the stoopid toilet with no toilet paper but has a cleaner lady who stares at you as if u owe her 10 cents which actually you do cuz u need da toilet)
Alrighteys, on average i get $165 for a week.
I spent $125 a week.
That means a spare $40.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the month, its like the spending fiesta. And I will end up with nothing on my NETS and spending on things which I barely use(like cds WTF!)
So, to overcome the situation this are 10 things I shall do.
1. Once I touch that blue note, put it in the mini bank (which has no lock so if i see it i could be tempted)
2. Eating extra scoop of rice with hot dog or curry gravy (the Singaporean student turned Bangladeshi construction worker style)
3. No buying things from 7-Eleven unless there is a promotion and selfishly asked ur friend to buy the drinks on promotions which is usually 2 for a price.
4. NO MORE FUCKING SWEETS!!! (awwww fuggggggggg….)
5. Try buying contraband cigs or get smoking khakis to share money buy cigs.
6. WORK MORE and LONGER HOURS! oh yes, and leaving that NETS card at home!(that card kills esp. if u dun have any money and u realise u are working and minimum withcrawal is 20 bucks which suck and sometimes it cant transact $20 but $50 so its like THERE GOES UR FUCKING MONEY!)
7. Bring a water bottle to school (fuck yeah! I wanted to bring my own food but nahhh my reputation would be ruined)
8. Exploit and scheme plots to get more money (PP is a gr8 motive to be use to BS on getting stuff for school to my dad)
9. Do more healthy activities (Sk8 = $4, Gym = $1.50 School=$2.50, shopping and shopping while sk8ing >= $100)= which is WAYYY FUCKED UP!)
10. Executing all of the above mentioned or this is all FUCKED!
With this to place in effect IMMEDIATELY, i can expect that my money would grow rather than saved. If the plan works out, I will fucking tell u guys and then I can expect a gazillion phone calls for fine dining with vintage red chardonnay wine at some restaurant at Clarke Quay!.
Let the Survivalism BEGIN!!! (oh yes, gotta put that song by Nine Inch Nails so that it’ll remind me once I am tempted)
PEACE!
