Small savings might not add up to big money but...

Sunday, September 10, 2017

It has been a while since I blogged about my money habits.

Readers who have been following my blog for a long time might remember the blogs on packing lunch to work and not buying drinks when eating out (and definitely not from Starbucks), for examples.





For sure, the blogs did not sit well with everybody and I was even labelled a person with a peasant mentality (or a person with a "poverty mindset") in wealth building because of them.

Well, I hope people who don't like my money habits don't read this blog.

Wait a while.

Filtered.

Still reading?

OK, you have been warned.


Since I changed my diet more than a year ago, I have been consuming more eggs and this is how I have been buying them.


In a tray of 30.
I transfer the eggs into smaller trays for ease of storage.



Tray of 30 @ $3.30.

Tray of 10 @ $1.65.

I save $1.65 each time.

What? $1.65 only? 

It is a 33.3% savings! 

Hey! It is like getting 10 eggs for free!
As you can tell from the scribbles on the label, I have been doing this for quite some time.

I know many people think that it is not worth saving small amounts of money. 

Maybe, saving small amounts of money gives them a "poverty mindset" and they don't like it.

Small savings are for poor people and they want to feel rich.

AK, you not poor wor. Why you so giamsiap? So cham like that.






Well, saving small amounts of money might not make us rich but it definitely won't make us poorer. Now, doing the opposite would definitely make us poorer.


Almost bankrupt, AK's family was once quite poor. AK doesn't want to go back there.
