Sarcastic or what?
This is how I save
Clothing
My t-shirt RM5.
Shorts also RM5
Slacks RM 25-35
Cargo pants RM25
Gadgets (going to push until they spoil)
1 x laptop (almost 5 years old). - Maximum budget to change when spoil is RM3000 so that my parents can get relief from income tax.
1 x handphone android (will never buy iphone) - (almost 2 years old) - If change will get xiaomi.
1 x ipad air 2 wifi (on promo - save about RM300) (less than a year old) The trick with ipad is JB so can get apps for free
and DON'T UPDATE the ipad. Each update will cause it to slow down. After all, I am using it to just read uni textbooks. No games nothing. Why ipad? Battery life cannot be beaten by any android tablet. Why need to buy 3G when I am always on WiFi? (save another RM200-RM300)
Internet
Wifi - Go starbucks, sit down don't order anything and use their wifi.
Campus internet
Worse come to worse use my own 3G internet. RM68
Phone - Call & SMS using WA, Reload RM30/year
Shoes
RM72/year (cannot save as I need to have waterproof and non-slip shoes)
Sandals RM6-RM10 (can last for 2 years like that)
Lifestyle
Food & drinks
- No fastfood, no starbucks/chatime/alcohol. Just buy chapfan and lots of vege dishes. Only 1 meat dish. Total RM6-7/meal
- Groceries shopping = RM300/month (all fruits and veges, soap)
- No girlfriend yet.
- No birthday celebration. If I go for friend's birthday celebration, sure burn minimum RM50
Fun
- No cinema unless is Marvel and get recommendation from friend. That one also make sure ticket is about RM10. See post on internet
- No mamak. Waste of time and unhealthy
- No clubbing/karaoke (no alcohol and karaoke will spoil your ears in the long run)
Transportation
- Walking everywhere
- Public transport
Others
- Using ebooks so no need to waste money to buy real books
- Use Maybank2Savers/Ambank True Savers and 1 month eFD from Maybank (3.25%. Results can only be known next month)
- Online business (small side income helping people to bypass internet restriction)
- Not using credit card yet as parents don't trust credit card. But when I do get one, I will be able to boost my savings further.
So that is how I save. My parents told me the pocket money is yours. Up to you, you want to do what with it. Kind of sad, some of my friends don't even know what is FD. Also, some of my friends by end of the month, no more money (cause alcohol/clubbing/celebrating friend's birthday). Any extra all goes into the online saving account + eFD.
