We will never know how much it burns you, unless you feel the heat, and that's what exactly happened to me over the weekend, i was having some drinking sessions with my wife and a few friends, and suddenly i had this urge of asking my friends who were there drinking with us, how much did they really spend on beers on a monthly basis, so everyone took turn to divulge.
It started with the hard-core drinker amongst us, he disclosed that he would spend in the region of RM1500-RM2000 on beer and sometimes the amout would increase if he indulges in hard liquor, Lim is the highest spender amongst us, when it came to my time, to gauge how much i spend on beer drinking, i was totally in rude shock when i came to realization that i would spend close to RM600 to RM700 a month, just a few hundred shy to RM1000, on my so called binging habit.
Never knew i could spend so much on the binge, if i didnt want to count it cent by cent, suddenly i felt that it was way too much for me to continue to do what i did on the pretext of having good times, when my good times is indeed buring me.
I have reduced my alcohol comsumption, but it seems that without knowing it, it does not seem to curtail what i would have wished for, so therefore i must come to term with myself, and i know just what to do about it........... will share with you guys what i would do, and i am sure i will succeed in doing it............
Q)Do you have one not so good habit that you find hard to break?
P/S : To fight without, one must begin to fight within
Wow, your friend is rich. 2K for drinks per month. That is some people monthly salary already. currently I don't have a not so good habit as not much I can spend after deducting all my normal expenses. Still need to put food on the table. But sometimes drinking really cost a hole in my pocket when the mood is there. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteDrink beer like drink water ah??? Yup I have bad habits that I found hard to break too but it's not as expensive as drinking beer :p
ReplyDeletemy "bad habit" is EPL on weekends & History Channel on weekdays, which is relatively cheap.
ReplyDeletelooks like you have to play more tennis & drink less.

ReplyDeletei think everyone knows my bad habit which is shopping. i'm too addicted to iy and it makes me broke every month. seriously need to stop buying liao, sigh.
Thank God I don't drink! Even before my beer-gout problem, I was just a social drinker... Save! Save your liver! Save for your boys! Stop drinking!

ReplyDeletewow that is ALOT of moey spent on drinking.
ReplyDeleteWell, got a habit tht is hard to break? Find a thing that usully makes you forget of it... eventually if the other thing that makes you forget the bad habi is good, keep it up and eventually you will soon forget the bad habit :).
I used to love clubbing. But find it is much of waste of money. So I found online gaming instead. spend most of time at home playing game now :). Cheap, at my own comfort ;).
hurts your pocket and hurts your liver. Hubs used to spend tons on alcohol during his single and free days. Then he met and spent a lot on coffee instead. Hard times hit and I made him give up gourmet coffee, coz it was more of an addiction than lifestyle.. Now, he'll still indulge once in a while but hey, it's more of a real treat rather than daily norm now and he appreciates his cuppa more.
ReplyDeletei used to spend a lot on books for my children but they hardly read..
ReplyDeletei got this craze for bettings - toto,magnum,damacai,special cash sweep...& holo chim
ReplyDeleteLOL i think i same as Claire most of my money is spend on food also =D That one i really cannot change and i think not easy to change also =_="
ReplyDeleteMy hubby spends at least £50-£60 (don't know what's tht in RM) a month on his lager. That's quite expensive. Then again I get grumpy if I dont get my chocolates so i think we must be equal.
