Over Spending Day

November 6th, 2006 at 02:50 pm

Okay. So I must admit, living on 1000 yen a day (or 10 dollars) is harder than what I had imagined.

Today, I just had to buy a book, and the book itself was about $12. After that, I spent $2 dollars on 3 Japanese rice balls as my late night snack.

So what exactly did I buy? Well, I saw this really cool sketch book at this local book shop a few days ago, and I have been thinking about it ever since.

I waited for exactly 4 days before I decided to buy it. 4 days!!! I guess it is hard to control impulsive buying.

Next time I really want something, I'm gonna make myself wait for a week before I jump the gun. I hope that'll work out well.

*Fingers crossed*

    well, since you're allowing yourself $10 per day, anytime you find something you want to buy try taking the cost of the item (such as $12 for the book) and making yourself wait that many days. save $1 per day out of your allowance towards the purchase of the item, and you'll never be left without money for everyday things like food!

    and hey, some things might go on sale in the meantime.

    the fact you waited a couple of days before buying the book shows a lot of self control! It is also something you obviously reallyw anted- so go for it! As tinapbeana said, you can compensate by spending $2 less on another day.

    Waiting 4 days shows a great deal of control and you did think it over. Hardly compulsive if you ask me. Tinas suggestion of savign up to buy it is a great one!Smile
