1) just for the fun of it
2) to keep tab of my petrol expenses
3) make a claim for it
4) gap at the amount I actually spend just driving around
5) All of the above
So from January till end June 2009, I have actually spent about ... *punching numbers on calculator* ... Ahh! A not-so-whopping RM1100.00 (USD366) on petrol!! That's an average of RM183.00 (USD61) a month - only.
Eh? That's not too bad. In fact, not bad at all considering that petrol prices actually went up by so much in the beginning of the year and considering that previous half-yearly(s), I actually spend at least RM300.00 (USD100) a month! Ah, I know why...
1) My one-year-old car is fuel efficient
2) I am staying home more
3) I am going out less
4) Less weekend shopping sprees
5) All of the above
The only drawback would be my highway toll charges. I have RM700.00 (USD233) worth of receipts and that's an average of RM116.00 (USD39) a month! Now that's a lot of highway tolls.
Nonetheless ... *pats self on the back*
Wow, I'm still amazed at how well I've done - financially, I mean. Must have been my hobby-turned-business handmade jewellery activity. It keeps me at home, keep my hands busy, (but) makes my eyes tired and keeps my wallet full. I'm so pleased. :)

Heeee... I did that for every single expenses whenever I moved to a new place for the first two months. Then... I became lazy and lost track. :P Hey dear, I wrote a message to you on facebook, so sorry I missed it.

That's good financial planning and monitoring.
