me, myself and i,
money matters,
shopping My mother-in-law frowns upon the purchase of luxury bags. I always hold my tongue and try not to tell her that she has about 8-10 of them in her closet. She must have probably forgotten or she’s gotten wiser now so she stopped buying them. Whatever’s the case, I hope she will consider me a good enough daughter-in-law to give them to me in the future.
Speaking of extravagances, she once told me that I if I really want to invest on accessories, I should invest on jewelry. I used to have a few pieces of gold chain when I was young but I don’t remember what happened to me. I asked my husband before if he will wear those famous 5mm chain bracelets but he said I would just be wasting money if I buy him one. Now that we have a daughter, I have a reason to splurge on jewelry. Ever since she was born, I’ve wanted to buy her a pair of diamond studs and a nice gold necklace that she can wear on special occasions.

money matters 6. Really want to save money? Don’t shop at all if you think you can do without the item that you want to purchase.
7. Read ebooks instead of buying paperbacks.
8. Shop once a month for dry goods, twice a month for meat and fish, once a week for veggies
9. If it gets too hot during the day and you don’t want to spend dollars on electricity bill by turning on the aircon, adjust your schedule and work early mornings or late at night.
10. Finish your tasks as soon as you can so you don’t have to turn on your laptop the whole day. When you work from home, you tend to put off other tasks until you find time to do it.

money matters,
women issues We just received a not so good news about our investments. This made me think twice if we should continue paying our premiums for our life insurance. It’s in the same company and we don’t want to put our eggs in one basket. My mother-in-law told me to get some insurance quotes as early as now if I’m really serious in getting a new package. I’ve seen a couple and the rates are great but unlike before where I quickly signed up, I’m going to spend a lot of time researching about the company before I go ahead and hand over our money.
