Today I went to Ikea with my brother and sister in law. Before that I went with them for breakfast, Sogo shopping mall and also had lunch at an expensive restaurant - not that the food was expensive and superb just that the price was marked up.
Back to the Ikea story: I was full of glee and was so thrilled. I found so many beautiful things. I keep taking one thing after another - anything that caught my eye or my fancy. Everything seemed so cheap though may were still on the high end of price. In the end I spent whooping RM900 almost 1k. I nearly died. My eyes bulged when I the cashier mouthed the price of the purchase. Though I knew some of my brother things' was also included, I grew frantic. I estimate that I must have spend a thousand - this includes the things that I bought in Sogo supermarket and the Jaya Grocer.
However I am happy. Nothing is for naught. I believe all good things happens to me and continues happening all the time. I also believe that all the money that I am spending right now will come back to me in good and returns three fold the cost that I spent.
My brother is right. I need to learn to budget myself and no give into spending because I have the cash. It is always good to be spending wisely rather than a stupid fool. I do think that I have spent wisely. I bought myself a clothes closet - something that I have been hunting for months. I was reluctant to be made to spend my money because the sale was made to be such a way that to get the price of a closet I am - must buy a mattress. I think this is the wrong way of marketing. Businesses are supposed to induce us to buy not blackmail us into buying.
I believe that I am making prudent choices in my purchases this year. I am saving money all the time. Money comes to me in abundance ... everymore these days :-)
