Spend Thrift..........

" Making a tough financial decision could be your big challenge of the day. One part of you wants to spend the money without sticking to your budget. But you know that an impulsive purchase might not be the smartest move. You can get the best of both worlds by buying something relatively inexpensive like lunch, a book, or a CD, while putting off a major buy until you have enough time to do more research and think it over carefully................."


he he... too late honey, I have already spent it :) I have big holes in my hand.. and I don't mind it.. Don't know if thats a good or bad trait.. all I know is I love to spend.. till I have.. when I don't there is nothing to spend :) .... however I do offlate ask the question, Do I want it? If the answer is not a strong 'YES' I let go of it... but this is ONLY when I spend it on myself... 'self pampering' and I have tons of those.. for e.g.,

chocolate, flowers, good food - pampering quota no1. Rate - weekly
groceries, rent, and similar stuff - survival quota. Rate - weekly
Bike, Car - Luxury quota Rate - 1 in 2 - 3 years, rare event!
Music, Books - intellectual, relaxing, happiness, realizing, fun Quota. Rate - 1 in 2 months, :)
Travel and Journey - Masti, Seeing the World quota. Rate - 1 a year
Clothes - Not Done shopping for long Quota, GET HIGHEST ATTACKS of this.. BUT I survive, :) Rate - 1 in 6 - 8 months

NOW that was just ME, MY , I 'pampering' , there is a whole Pandora Box on 'I just felt like giving, Quota' and I love it.. am just glad, lucky and thankful for giving me the resources to be able to act on it.. whenever I feel it.. thanks to the universe for this gift... (posted 10am)

Spend Thrift -II

GUESS WHAT??? ANY GUESSES?

OK at 12.01 Pm I realize I am missing the thing called 'Purse' searched every where.. office, bag, desk, restroom, road..if i dropped it some where ...

places I visited today before coming to school - Smiths, Transit Center, Ice Cream corner.. NO TRACE of my 'cash and identity holder' ... lost my identity :)) he he... sounds and reads funny... i was laughing all the while, as I was remembering the above post all day.. as I kept looking and searching for it... and trying to back track in my memory to see where I could have forgotten it..

I was sure no body stole it, and was equally sure that I forgot it. My Present Mindedness :)
so an hold on my THRIFTINESS... for some time..yeeeeee... no money in the first place to be able to spend...

Spend Thrift -III

My happiness did not last for long.. 6 pm.. I took the CVN bus back home to get my bike and then go to land lady and get keys to my apartment.. as a matter of habit I never carry my keys anywhere else other than my pocket since I remember things till I can feel there existence.. else am lost.. or they are lost to me.. BUT today I choose to put it nicely in an organized way in the purse, which also I never carry... or use... I am a back pack person... dump everything in that backpack types... !!

Anyway.. got into the bus, and asked the driver, " hey did you come across any purse.... "
I could not even finish my sentence and saw the fellow, grinning from the driver's side, smiling and saying... "AM HERE, Hiiii, Ice Scream early morning is bad for memory"

Stupid Unrelated Dumb Correlation... !!

BUT who says every time everything always have to follow a nice well defined significant correlation specially when >80% of reality is Grey and Fuzzy !!
