Checking....counting.
Where did they go?
Then i am in this state of...confusion while scratching my forehead.
Receipts just get into my mind, took out the calculater and pen. Aww...bills and many more
My salary, half of it was spent in the bills the i have to pay, not to mention i did grocery shopping last Friday.
Oh well, at least i have paid those bills that will be due sometime next week. Lessening my worries.
Yeah...lessening. Now, have to do some "allowance stretching" for what is left. Haha. Thanks for frugality. Lol.
Do you sometimes wonder where your money had "wandered"?

@alchemistrx There is no need to as money has to be spent where it is required

I will make a journal of all expenses.Then divide my salary in two. The other half i save and the other half are segregated to pay the expenses.That way i can wander where my money goes.I have to lessen my expenses to taking the jeepney and not much stuff.

@Lucky15 Can we avoid groceries? I don't think so but just buy for a month or lessen the baggage of just important things.

@Lucky15 it's sad when you work just in order to pay bills and you have no money left to do yourself some kind of a pleasure

@Lucky15 . . . Pssst . . . don't tell my wife . . . I have another savings account in another bank. It is where my extra money go! I have a part-time job (under the table) that my wife does not know. I need to do this coz my wife knows only how to spend money. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't gamble, and though I wish I have a GF . . . I don't have one.

We know where every penny goes. We watch it carefully and enjoy saving some at the same time. Good Luck!

We are a 2 income family and I always am wondering where all the money goes. The majority does go to bills, but we still have money left after paying bills, but always seem to be close to broke by the time payday rolls around again. I think we shop to much for personal items, that aren't necessarily needed.

I do wonder where my money goes even if most of the time, I'm aware of what it goes for.
I get my credit card reports ever month so I know what I pay for.
Yet, I'm surprised to see how much money I spend on grocery, gas, bills, I always think it's a one time bill, but, I always have a surprise later.
It's like taking a ride in the car, knowing the way is long but, still, I'm asking myself 'wow, how long is this road ?'. Knowing is one thing, feeling is another thing.
I hope I will get accepted to the job I'm trying to get into. I will have more work and more salary and the best thing, I will do what I like to, teaching elders on computers.

Haha, I have not yet started earning any money officially. I just live with my parents and when I spend some money, they keep telling me that I have no respect for Money because I don't know how hard it is to earn a Penny. I still have a long way to go for that and I will reach that point a some point of time.
