    Overspending

    I don't often have to go into my other account.
    i am usually able to live fairly happily on my salary.

    this month however i am down to the bare bones and it's about 10 days to pay day.
    i am going to have to hit the bank this morning to conduct a transfer.

    too many bad things have happened this month.
    how often do you overspend?

    I dont have any credit cards or anything so I never get myself into debt that way.

    There were times when I lived alone that I overspent all the time! I'd often put alcohol before food commitments and not eat for a day or so, so I could pay for a good night out!
    Welcome to the jungle!

    I haven't touched any money from home in the nearly four years that I have been here, but........................................I often spend most of my wage.

    I bought a washing machine last week for 10,000. I could have got a cheaper one but I was swayed by all the buttons and flashing lights.

    I can usually live comfortably from my salary but the price of diesil doesn't help much.

    I often really overspend, but usually on cows. I've often been down to my last 20 bhat after a buying spree. If I have'nt got the cash here I don't waste it on other things and if I really need some I can get rid of a few cows within a day or so.
    I have more than the average number of arm and legs

    My salary is not really the problem.

    i have to syphon money out of our joint account to put into my 'entertainments' fund.

    i really regret getting a joint account but as i was sailing before and away for months at a time it made sense as my wife had to pay all the bills etc.

    but now its a real pain that my wife sees exactly what goes in my account every month - and every withdrawal i make. And she watches it like a hawk.

    I've never had a problem saving money ever since I was a kid.

    I'm just lucky I don't have a hobby.

    ofcourse that is possible. the hard part is explaining to my wife why, after 12 years of putting the money in our joint account, i suddenly want to change.

    i cant think of any other reason apart from that i want to spend the money on hookers without her knowing....

    I should ask for a temporary assignment to our detachment down at Sembawang to come visit you. We could go the the "Bricks" and pull some of them hot Sing/Malay babes.

    Say it is for life insurance premiums.

    Insurance which is to safeguard her future in case anything happens to you.
