Money talk
How are you doing today? It's Friday night. I think some of you might plan to hang out with your friends or some might fancy staying and watching TVs at home. What's about me? At first I thought about inviting my friends to have some gorgeous ice-cream at the shopping mall nearby our University but It's pity that I had to change my plan because I didn't want my mom to get home on her own. You are probably thinking it sounds strange why my mom can't get home without me. The real reason is that it's my plan to save money as much as I can
LoL. I must admit that I have been more careful to spend money since I came back from the UK .When I stayed there, I always realized that I had lived on mom's money. Since my dad retired, Money have came from her only. I felt a bit guilty with this feeling so before I bought something, I would sum up all prices I had to pay in my head. I still memorize that I spent 2-3 hours in TESCO, just to get some yogurt and biscuits. It was crazy, wasn't it? I checked the prices of each brand and compared their quantities. But if you have known me before, you would be surprised, for example I used to love starbucks coffee and never finished it, I mean sometimes I just bought some ice coffee,saw it melted with the half left then threw it to bin(actaully, I still love it but I'm not suposed to do :P), I also used the quote, "Buying before thinking", using the services of taxi instead of bus. Before you will be confused what I'm trying to tell you, Back to the purpose of getting home with mom. As I said my dad has already retired therefore he has become my mom's private driver. He picks mom up everyday but today he couldn't. So mom had to go home by Taxi (It is not convenience for her to take a bus) and I think It's better if we both take it together, probably it seems buy 1 get 1 free. I think I must expain what this promotion package is."Buy 1" is meant we can save money by pay the same rate as traveling only 1 person. And "Get 1 free" is that I have more privte time ( Don't think of a taxi driver ) to talk to mom, spend time with her.
I really want to ask you about how to mange your money each month. I have been trying to find the best way to spend less and save more. howww... I'm so tired and better go to bed. I'm sorry that I haven't told you more about my current job. I think if I'm available tomorrow. I'll point to my job description more than this.
Hope to see you tomorrow

Hi Chittisa, you are a lucky girl who can still live on mom's money as you are an adult.
Hi!!! Aey I like your idea cause I always do that when I go shopping; compare the cost with the quantity. You are lucky that you have a chance to go to England to improve your English. For me,all I can do is saving my money from now on that I can go study abroad and improve my English skill.:) and using bbc learning english everyday...
Hi. Interesting. I can't help saying that female is totally a saving genius anywhere in the whole world. "buy 1 get 1 free", ahh, I like that.
Usually girls resolve the problem with a boyfriend. For ice-cream, cinema and stuff like that a poor student is good enough, for diamond, travel maybe it's better an entrepreneur :) See you soon
You're a very good child.You think a lot before spending money on thing-which differs from what you did in the past ,"buying before thinking" , you now use the quote "thinking before buying".I really really admire you ,I haven't thought of itbefore until I read yr blog.I'm used to spending money on things that I don't need to use and then just throw them into the garbage-cause they are out of date! But now I will do the same way as you do -"thinking before buying".
Hello. It is monday morning when I am writing this post and my weekend was so busy with the merriage of a friend of mine who was also my collegue from the university. Managing my own budget it has been a problem in the last monts because I bought a house and have to pay for the mortage as well as another expenses such as electricity, gas, water suply, cable tv, etc. It is not easy to manage my budget but I am learning to do it and hope things get better. I think I will have to find a job that will pay me more or find another works that will give me the extra money that I will need. Bye for now
after reading your paper,i do agree with you i have the same problem, i am always short of money, it's hard for me to make two ends meet. and i think about this problem for a time. to me i am not good at planning, i always spend money on impulse. i try to correct this habit, each time when i buy something i will record it, at the end of each month i will have a long list of the shopping bill. i will make a analysis on it, what i should buy and what i should not, it's just a wast of money. next month i will try to avoid doing this. and day by day i form the habit to think before shopping. it really helps, why not have a try.
It is the best task for learning english and to create writing abilities among the students. With the help of blogging students can improve their knowledge as well.
I must admit that i am really very poor ant i really want to save some money.well,you known sometimes you activity not always listen to your mind and you surroundings force you to waste some money .For example when you go shopping whith you girl friend.haha!do you think so.It really hard to change something when beginning.But i believe you can do it .
Hi : It's a nice blog.before this blog i kept only the quality of thing and i regret the price .I mean to say that i only check the quality , it dos't mean how much it is . but after your blog really i will try to adopt this habbit and try to spend my reamining life by making some budget .
