How I manage my money for September 09
Posted on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 10:54 amI wrote one of my expenses to be the X mini speakers. Guess what. I applied for this HSBC credit card, and it actually offered me a free gift. And its another X mini speakers! The same model.
Without hesitation, I immediately took it to my office and sold it off at half the price, by just being friendly. If only I had waited, I could have save that $36. Anyway, it had passed already. This HSBC card indeed gave me what it mentioned; with 3 transactions a month, you get a $5 cash rebates.
My aunt too gave me a $100 voucher for a bookstore, Kinokuniya. I ended up buying $200 worth of books. Well, books are knowledge, and I can read them at a later date, since these information don’t go outdated. (I bought all books related to stocks investment etc)
Here’s this month’s breakdown:
Savings and Earnings
$500/month Citibank Step up Account
$150 - Profit from US stocks trades
Expenses
$100 Kinokuniya books!
$20 Some Audio CDs. Korean ver - Boys over flowers
$12 A couple of bubble teas. They cost $3 per cup.
