However, you are right to point this out as I have friends who have zero savings and spent all their money in travelling. I can't talk sense into them because I am also travelling quite a lot. <br /><br />Thanks for reading! :)Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-28078730918098567902015-09-09T17:05:41.078+08:002015-09-09T17:05:41.078+08:00Haha good one.

So if limit to just 1 trip/year will save at least $800x2 = $1,600/year per person.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101778322944326486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-71281820501004610592015-09-09T11:21:54.233+08:002015-09-09T11:21:54.233+08:00Hi Joel,

You will definitely be happier especially when your gf's parents are happy with you... that's an investment not an expense :) <br /><br />I thought about why I try to cut down on my own expenses but when my family meals come up to more than $200, I am happy to fork out. I took quite long to understand that being frugal and stingy are different concepts. Have a good mid autumn!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-9638494027101725442015-09-09T11:14:30.145+08:002015-09-09T11:14:30.145+08:00Hi GP,

But if you think about it, you could be saving another $750 from your taxi every month and get a car sooner. <br /><br />Not easy I know, I am also guilty of spending too much on online shopping, now this post is to remind myself to save instead.

My office is aroung 8KM from my place but in the absence of any direct link it takes me around 45 minutes each side by public transport.<br />my taxi fair each side is around $12-14, so it comes to be around $750 per month ( I work saturdays Half days). <br />So I am saving around $1k per month. :P<br />Once the COE goes down & the difference is lesser than $500, I am planning to buy a car.
