probably because ive never stayed true to any such diet in my life..hahaha
this is by far the longest diet ive been on
(and mind you i am planning continue so, for reasons i will reveal later in my life)
to be honest i couldnt believe i went this long, and suprisingly, i am looking forward to continue on till its 12 months to celebrate and look back
before i confuse anyone, spendingDiet is to only spend on NEED toBuy things and a no-no to NICE to buy things.
my financial management is a mess and often i buy things on an impulse/a sign and all other bullshit reasons just to satisfy tht short itch to poses a thing/clothing etc.
i dont think ive ever heard anyone buy a handPhone/become a member of a holidayPackage/handbags in less than 5minutes from the meeting point,
and these are only the many few things that i am guilty of.
i am not in debt or worst "muflis".
like ive said, this diet is for a reason, a bigReason and hopefully it will pay off when the time comes.
until then , at my 30days of this spendingDiet, let me share with you wht ive learned:
Lesson Learnt during my 30-Day Spending Diet :
(i) reading receipts teaches you to compare prices and best, know when the price has gone up or down
(ii) since im not reading any fashionMegazines nor subscribing to any online shops , i spent most times rearranging my closet and found a number of outfit tht ive bought, but have never worn. tsk tsk tsk! (this includes hbags too!), the guilt somehow suppress me to spend unnecessarily.
(iii) the constant "do i need this?" every time the temptation arises does work. there were a number of times it made me stop to think (and not stop to look into my wallet for money)
(iv) this diet is some how (somehow eh) helping me loose some weight..( " ,)
(v) the power of saying no is beautiful. its powerful and rewarding at the same time.
