Savings

I was blog-walking and read a very convicting post on savings, building our barns. 


2010 had been a year of travelling for dear & me. We have been traveling almost every month! And that's really a lot. Though we travel to the neighboring countries, but to think of it, it's a lot of money...


Firstly, we went JB for umpteen times.. Though the spendings may not be a lot, but to think of it. If every trip i spend about $50, 10 trips will be $500. Definitely, i had been there about 10 trips this year. 


Other than JB, we went Batam twice & Melaka twice this year. 


Our spendings and accommodation could add up to a total of $300 per trip. Even though some trips are sponsored, i still think we took it for granted. :P


All these numerics are only per person average spendings, and i think i spend even more than that. :P I counted, if add up both of our spendings, its about $4.4K!!!!! GOSH! 


I mean, if we went BKK or Bali or Phuket, that figure may be worth it.. But......


Ok, we are still in the midst of planning of going KL end of Nov & a company retreat. :( 


Both of us made a commitment, starting in October, we are going to pledge 10% of our income for our future savings. It may not be a lot for me, but still, it does matter... 


Please dont jio me to any where else out of this red dot anymore. HAHA! 


No more buffets.. (alright, maybe once in a while :P) No more fine dinings etc... Everyday noodles! Ah! Just joking... HAHA! Ok, maybe lesser kois. HEHE! 


I need to SAVE!!!!!
