30 DAYS CHALLENGE - SPENT MONEY ONLY FOR FOODS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT TICKETS

6/02/2015

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ



I feel so excited in this month of June, because I challenge myself not to spend money for something new except food (raw/ cooked) and for public transport tickets. I got the idea when I read Frankie magazine months ago and read about a guy who frost attempts to buy something new except foods. Maybe I should have share this challenge earlier so I can ask you Guys to joint me this month. Well, next time I hope. I'm not going to share the details of what happen on each day I do the challenge on this blog until the end of the month.

Today is my second day in the running of what's becoming 30 days challenge. Can I survive? I don't know. I'll try my best. FYI, even I ran out of bath soap and deodorant at my very first day of challenge. Thank God I have a stock for soap and I remember that I have deodorant in my travel pack toiletries. I could not imagine if I should break the rule at my first day. I wondered if only I don't have stock of soap and deodorant at all then what can I do? Well, I can ask my friend at the boarding house for soap, but deodorant? Even though they are all the most kind hearted fellas that I ever know, I just can't ask them to lend me deodorant to be my hero of the day.

So, why did I challenge myself to do 30 days challenge frost attempts to spent money except for food and public transport tickets? Here is the reasons:

  1. I need to save more money
  2. I read too many minimalist fashion blog lately that shows how simple fashion and live are. How could they live with 13 wardrobes including top, bottom, outer, and shoes for 13 days?
  3. I got insight from Sophia Amoruso (founder and CEO of Nasty Gal) that money looks better in the bank than on my feet.
  4. I want a new lens for my Canon 450D, I'm craving for Canon 35mm lens or Sigma 30mm lens. I know I know, this point looks like a betrayer of the point number 3, but I really need this lens this year. I'm looking at my shoes and start thinking if only I did not buy 6 of them, now I got the money to buy my lens. *sigh
In the end all I want to say is wish me luck and wish me that someone from Canon or Sigma or from wherever read this blog post and send me the prime lens that I've been dreaming of. Amin. 

PS: Please let me know if you also want to try the challenge, would love to know about yours as well :)

  3. Yes, that's right! Money on the feet just make me "Boros", finally I sell the stuff to bukalapak or olx because all of the stuff only fill my room and not usefull when a new one has comes, especially for gadgets and electronics. Better if we save all money on the bank except for food and public transports.
