Spend Less

I’m so going to control my spending next month. No more impulsive shopping! I need to do a better planning with my money, especially if I want to buy gold. Maye it’s not only about gold, it’s about how I have to spend. I’ve been spending a lot this August, so I better stop next [...]

Selecting Life Insurance

Both hubby and I have been paying for our life insurance policies for years, and no matter what have happened, I don’t think we will cancel our policies. We would like to secure our kids’ future, if anything should happen to us. They might not be millionaires from the compensation though, but at least I [...]

Gold

I should really start saving up to buy gold eagle coins. The gold price has been increasing over the years, and imagine how much our gold has cost, if you bought them many years ago. I’m tempted to sell some off but it’s not really necessary. I will only spend off the cash anyway, so [...]

Rich = Pretty

I remembered that some time ago, the girlfriends and I had some conversation about how a woman can be pretty by just being rich. Most of my tai tai friends are very well groomed and they do look above average that most silais. It’s not that they don’t do house chores or they don’t have [...]

Money Is Never Enough

I spent a bomb shopping for clothes yesterday, so I guess I don’t have the budget for skin care this month. I thought of signing up IPL treatment course, and buy a new range of skin care products, and these things don’t come cheap. Why is money never enough? Argh…
In another month, we will have [...]

Who Spends More?

Personally, I feel that women are bigger spenders than men, but we spend differently. Just tell a woman that she can look younger by 10 years with an anti aging product, most likely she will buy it, even if it cost her a bomb! Let’s not forgetting about shoes and bags and jewelry. All these [...]

Car Insurance Renewal

I’ve just received a notice about our car insurance, so we have to renew it by next month. How time flies. We are here for more than a year, and even if our business is still quite slow, we are striving fine in this foreign land. So far, I would say that staying in Bangkok [...]

Frugal!

Our business picked up a bit last month, but I am not sure if it’s only a temporary effect. Maybe some of our customers need to get some replacement parts, but not the whole electronic industry is picking up. This year is slower, as comparing to last year, so we have to work harder. Let’s [...]

Tight Budget!

 I realized that I have never bought myself any jewelry. All of them were given by hubby and some by my close family members on my wedding day. Frankly, I don’t wear jewelry, but I like to see how pretty they are, especially the stones and diamonds. I’m a bit tight to get myself those [...]

Spend Less

 I’ve just read the news about more people are getting jobless now, and things are getting pretty bad in Thailand. I used to be a big spender, but since I moved here, I hardly buy anything too expensive. I think I better plan out my money well, even if I won’t invest in Monex and [...]
