Finances 2011

Thursday, January 13, 2011
Okay, so I wasn't too diligent in keeping track of my finances last year. I did in terms of banking and how much I spent; but I didn't keep track where the money was going. Near the end of the year, I noticed it was mainly going towards food... and I have a belly to show for it. *glares at scale*

Financial Goal 2011:
i. eat out at most twice a week
ii. coffee 3 times max a week
iii. use cash, not credit when possible

I will continue to...
i. only buy things I need when they're on sale (clothing, makeup, etc)
ii. coupon stack! ...very "si-lai" but how could you beat $1 shampoo! =P
iii. research before purchase (text books, etc)
iv. keep track of my monthly spending
