Guys have you been into things that you have a lot of money or during payday then you will just surprise one day why its almost run out specially if we just bought small stuff then at the end we ask ourselves where are those money now. 3 days after payday and was so happy to received my unexpected salary as it was ended beyond my expectation, then of course as usual almost half of it went to my daughter's expenses like milk, diaper and etc, bought some stuff at home, some groceries, then i supposed to pay my house rent but i keep the money instead of i want to buy ticket to the province to get my daughter though plane ticket is already expensive so i just decided to keep the money and was thinking of just add some in my next salary, days goes by, i can't help to buy some small stuff for myself and last night when i about to check how much money left for me coz im planning of paying my postpaid cellphone instead the next day i was surprise coz the money was almost run out. I took my calculator and calculate all expenses i made and i cant imagine that my money was just run out for those small things i bought unless my nephew stole some of my money.

If we do not set a budget on how to spend our earnings in a month, most likely we will run out of money before we now it. It really happens. We think that we have a lot of money that would get us by until he next pay day, but if we keep on buying unnecessary things, our hard-earned money just flies out of the window. So maybe, you need to really keep a certain amount aside each payday so that when you need something real important to buy or to pay, there would be something you can use.

Thats true those small stuff that become big if calculated at the end. There's unexpected expenses sometimes so we really cant tell.

I thought at first, you will be talking about reality, the ordinary thing. That after you received your salary, after all the expenses, you have to wait for the next payday. But there was a twist in your story, and I was surprised. Well, perhaps you should keep your money in a place where it cannot be easily seen to prevent others from doing something which we may not like at the end. It is also a good thing to keep receipts for future reference. If you are really in doubt, you can voice it out or wait for the next payday and observe. Have a nice day!

Yeah most of the time i am always looking for my salary after payday after paying all the bills and other expenses its like they money is just something that i cant hold on for long period of time as the moment i received it then just after 2 to 3 days what left for me is only my allowance until the next payday though im not really sure if my nephew stole my money i hope his not coz after i computed all the things i bought and paid off i still supposed to have a lot by now for my plane ticket tsk tsk tsk
