Managing Money June 11, 2009

Filed under: just bLah! — notsoforestfruit @ 5:03 PM

Lately i’ve been trying so hard to manage my expenses th best way i know how. I am an impulsive buyer and since i have been making plans of travelling to India and Switz and buying my photog gears, i decided that it’s time to grow up and be financially responsible (as possible)

So i made a template consisting of 3 sheets for my “Monthly Income and Expenses” where i’ve list down how much i earn every month from both work & my photog stint and my monthly fixed expenses. Expense Tracker where i (try to remember and) list down my everyday expenses all to th last centavo and my Monthly Financial Goals – which i hope i will be able to do so. I can say that i am somehow doing a good job wit th expense tracking thing; and by doing this made me see all th unnecessary knick-knacks i impulsively buy •hating me self now• if i could just religiously follow my budget, and be able to set aside my monthly savings goal, then i can buy my gears and cum March, i’d be so ready to explore Incredible India!.. That’s if i’dstick to th “program”! (so heaven help!) •fingers crossed•

 

Now now, who ever said that independence is all about freedom and fun ei??
