Read? Being Frugal???
5 years later ..... COVID-19 has "punished" Uncle8888 and showed him the way that small money can be saved by switching from drinking kopi-o kosong at his HDB's kopitiam to Nescafe Kopi-O Singapore Kopi at home.
Another saving in May is on $64 senior monthly concession pass. Probably, he just spend a few dollars on bus fares going to buy hawker food from Kovan and Ci Yuan.
CB Phase 1 on 2 Jun 2020; he is going back on his $64 monthly pass for June to roam again. LOL!
How to be minimalist?
Lessons learnt!
Stay at home and stay healthy!
Truly tested way to FIRE!
Been wfh for 2 months drinking 2 in 1 kopi at home. Most meals are cooked at home. Celebrated 3 children birthdays at home, we would otherwise go to restaurants. But utilities have increased too.
ReplyDeleteGovt hear us and giving discount of $100 on utilities. LOL!
DeleteUncle8888 you also living in hougang areas? i am too.
ReplyDeleteGood! One day, we go and lim kopi!
DeleteJoin the Q - Mee pok/Laksa like outside HG Mall kopitiam stall and hot porridge. Can also try mini assorted Teochew kueys (two stalls - the middle stall is more mini so can eat more types at one go with more chilli and black sweet sauce)
