What drained your pocket this summer???

Summer vacation went by so fast, and so with some of my "savings". In my private professional practice, I realized that summer is almost always a busy period. The kids are away from school and closer to fractures. Hence I get patients and therefore earn a "living'. Ironically, this is also the time where I often go out on midyear conventions and vacations, hence the expected expenses. But this summer, I didn't go to any convention nor I went into a major vacation. Now I'm wondering why where did my savings go??


Car maintenance, repairs and gasoline. These "new" expense for me suck a bit of my income. The rising gasoline prices and car parts seem to slowly nibble my budget. If you don't carefully plan your car usage, you're in for a surprise. I hope I'll reap something from this investment weather monetarily or not..

Most of my electronic gadgets suddenly reached its life span. They suddenly die out, like my prehistoric laptop which underwent numerous repairs and revivals before. This time, I has had enough of it and bought a new Acer Aspire 47207Z.It seems like the cost of having it repaired is almost the same as buying me a new one. Being an academician and a relentless net marketer guy, a laptop is essential for me.


Then there's this unscheduled events and "gifting" that eat up a portion of my savings. Its good that my Joy has been there with me to defray some cost, but then that is still an expense for us. We were saving for something else more important.

no matter how you plan or budget your money, there are always events and things that comes by that will definitely ruin your monthly or perhaps weekly budget.
