  • Saving money the biggest challenge

    What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

    Saving money. This ain’t a joke when I say this. It’s really hard to be able to save some amount when your outgoing (not expenses) is more than the income.

  • Why do I fail in budgeting?

    Daily writing prompt
    Write about your approach to budgeting.

    To be frank, budgeting is something I have never been able to get right so far. Despite my continuous efforts to establish a specific budget for my monthly expenses, I find myself consistently falling short of the vision I have set for myself. Many times, I end up overspending, and this is not solely due to my personal expenses but also because of family-related expenditures. No matter how hard I try, I have never managed to gain control over this aspect.

    Currently, my approach to budgeting is flexible, as I tend to utilize the available funds without prior budgeting. I am actively seeking ways to instill a proper budgeting habit so that I can achieve better financial management.

  • Space for my cultural attire

    I am the kind of person who loves to wear the same dress repeatedly. I have this peculiar obsession with getting the most wear out of my favorite dress, even though I have other outfits in my wardrobe. Due to this preference, I’ve cut down my expenses on dresses, as I find myself rarely wearing the ones I own.

    While I don’t own any limited edition, branded, or expensive clothing, I take great joy in wearing my traditional dresses whenever the opportunity arises. I love flaunting them and taking pride in showcasing my cultural attire. Even though I don’t get many chances to wear them, I still make a point to carry them with me wherever I go. I’m more than willing to allocate space for them in my packed luggage bag. Hehe!
