Resisting the Urge

It’s still too early to tell but I’ve been able to to dodge some things that I wanted to buy. So far, I’ve been able to sustain spending at a minimum. For the past couple of weeks I have been trying hard to not overspend to the budget I have set for myself. I’ve resisted to buy a new watch that I really like in ebay for it would affect the savings that I’ve restarted building again. I’m targeting 20% now of what I earn every 15 days will go to our savings, it just need strict discipline not to loose focus on it.

Now family is kinda adjusting. We frequent the malls and been a habit to always buy something like shop for clothes, anything for the room or bathroom, and other non sensible stuffs that looks interesting. After that we dine all the time. Now it’s a bit different we just buy things that we really need like groceries and just dine. I realize I won’t see the affect immediately I could spend all my earnings and we may be happy for that moment but in the long run we won’t have savings to look forward to in the future.
