What I spend “MONEY” on??

All thru the past one yr as a working professional, people started tagging me as a major “Spend thrift”, though previously they called me as a good organizer in terms of cash!!

But I myself have wondered wat made me a spend thrift, is it coz I started earning? Got so much cash around? Shop, freak out anytime I wanted? All this made me to come to a conclusion that I don’t really have so much control over money and don’t have any saving at al.

But the reason behind the whole scenario is that, during schooling and college days, the damn pocket money was jus not enough. All my pocket money went for recharging my mobile then comes ur miscellaneous expenses, all of al being a gal, u kno..;) was in need of more. (gals are never satisfied wit wat they hav :P) Wel, so me n one of my close frnd, decided to freak out n do the things that we hesitated to do wen v were a student! But then the fact is, u enjoi even more wen u have shortage of money, esp wen u dig ur bike dashboard, ur bag, and find few coins which help u to have pani puri or any cheap roadside food!! Wow..thats an amazing feel!

Finally wen v started working and got the first month salary, we had awesome time freaking out, but at one point v realized the burp!! But then by that time v’d become used it and now I really find it hard to cut down on my expenses. I even tried not going out for month, but still my balance was hitting the rock bottom, Damit!

On top of everything, they’ve hiked the fuel price which in turn will have a huge impact on other commodities. The increase in petrol prices would have an impact on both inflation and growth and is likely to drive price pressures and potentially social unrest in the near-term. If Oil Marketing Companies are suffering a loss of 245 Crores, the government should take measures to improve the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and not by burdening the people. This is so jus unfair. At present the country's Consumer Price Index (CPI) is running just under 8 per cent year-on-year, while the GDP growth in the country in March quarter advanced at an impressive 8.8 per cent on a year ago basis. Finally, down the list, adds me, already struggling wit handling cash, and now inflation. I do hope of working out a better way to save and remove that tag “spend thrift”. Now I really have to keep a track of, What I spend “MONEY” on!! :D
