I don’t mind spending at all… I enjoy it… completely… I’m happy buying stuff, it's just where the money goes and what I buy is what's scaring me a lil'!
However, I gotta say that last month I thought let me take a shot at monitoring my expenses... I set up a fancy Excel sheet that would add up my expenses and help me know where I spend the bulk! Apparently there is no bulk!
I’ve always wanted to monitor my expenses. I thought that would make me spend less! It didn’t, it just made me feel bad! I spent a lot! Like shamefully a lot! But at least it helped me realize where all my money goes…
BINGO, I realized it goes over nothing! I spend a lot… and I couldn’t find a big bulky thingy that consumed my money! It’s all tiny bits and pieces of meaningless stuff.
The point is... Insignificant stuff are the stuff that make me happy! It is who I am! I like to treat myself every now and then with something... even if it’s just a new pen, something to hang up in my car, a pair of earrings, a scarf, a notebook, a music CD, candy… Simple stupid make me smile, they make my day...
But the point is… all these insignificant stuff add to up to a significant sum!
I dunno how to save… in three working years in my life I saved less than $3000. Lol! How embarrassing is that! Sadly, aside from the fact that salaries in Egypt stink, it just says how irresponsible I am!
I dunno how to have money and not spend it…
And that is idiotic…
I’m no Barby Girl or Princess (although that wouldn't be a bad change)… like seriously why spend so much! I would rather save up and buy something interesting… like a big valuable thingy… or do something good to mankind! Or I’d rather just save! Nothing wrong with that ever! LOL!
Money handling sucks! I suck at it! And I don’t think it’ll ever change! And I think this is serious problem (DUH)!
Suggestions on solving the problem are highly recommended and welcomed...LOL!
