All hell break loose.

Oh boy, everybody's getting so 'spendy-money-ish' these days. I don't really foresee another Asian Financial Crisis, but then again, here's my take on some ways to spend money, tried and tested, by me:

1 Give up that designer coffee. The money you save from buying a latte every day could add up to more than $65,000 in your working life.
2 Leave your credit card(s) at home when you shop. It's harder to part with cash.
3 Drink water instead of a soda. It's only $1 a day, but in your working life, would add up to a savings of $22,000.
4 Turn down the air con, turn off the TV when you aren't in the room, turn off the cable TV and get energy efficient light bulbs, not dim bulbs. :P A savings of $20 a month could total $1,200 over five years.
5 Book your holidays for all of 2007 today. You'll get the best prices on hotel rooms, flights and you'll book when you can still redeem your miles.
6 Take the bus or MRT whenever you can. It's cheaper than a taxi and could easily save you $10 a week or $520 a year. Better yet, walk when you can and get exercise.
7 Hand-wash instead of dry clean. At $5 an item for dry cleaning, it really adds up.
8 Take your lunch to work one to two days a week, save $10 a week and nutrition experts say you will eat healthier, too.
9 Don't shop for groceries when you are hungry, and never enter a store without a shopping list. You'll save yourself from buying things you don't need or don't really want.

Disclaimer: If all else fails, then don't even go out of the house. There's nothing you can buy in your house. :) :) :)
