Of course you are not that type of person but these people really exist. Hi Ezra,

Do you know that they are people who are impulse spenders and yet are poor? Of course you are not that type of person but these people really exist.

We have to consider whether the thing we want to buy is necessary or not. Sometimes we buy things not because we need it, but just because it attracts you or the price is cheap. That's why I use a debit card instead of credit card!:) Hi Faisal,

Lol that is what some people will call me. But I agree with you... We must plan our spend by going through our budget and buying list. Choose only the things you need and if you don't need it, then don't buy it. How to choose the ones you need and the one you don't? Easy. Let put it this way : If you don't buy it will it cause you anything? Lets give example on clothing. If you buy cloth because you really need it since you bought them last like years ago, then its a need. But if you just buy it because its nice or beautiful, then its a waste and you are a big spender. Credit cards are silent killer. Don't use them. You sound stingy.

This post is not supposed to be read by young people like us because the five questions were actually extracted from other articles. But I think certain points in this article are good for us as well. So I just share it here with every readers. Normally I will just buy one new shirt and that's it. Besides, the shirt I buy is usually less than RM50. I am not like those young people who wear nice and trendy clothes everyday. I would rather spend the money on the investment or to fund my future Internet business. Teddy, you are right.
