Over the weekend, a friend told me that he found it very hard to believe that a 74 year old cleaner lady could have saved $400,000 in the last 60 years. Well, I don't find it hard to believe and I told him so. 60 years is a long time. It is all about working hard, being frugal and religiously saving the difference, in my opinion.

Anyway, a quick lunch time blog post:
Been a long time since I had a bowl! $1.10 only! |
After waiting for a few minutes. Mouth watering! |
My lunch! Sedap! |
Burp! I used to drink this all up in my younger days. Now, I throw it away. |
Some people in the past wondered how I could build up my savings so quickly too sometimes.
