Unfortunately, we were forced to take shelter inside the old building(Wisma Central) by a heavy rain. So, we all snakes(lazy to get back to work) and yumcha(drink tea) for a while at the mamak store. While everyone were talking, I suddenly raised a question to them... "hey, how much was the cheapest per pack of fruit you guys bought last time and when was it?" while pointing the one I bought earlier. They replied "RM1 or RM0.50 long ago la". However, I told them the lowest price I got was RM0.50 during my primary education(which was around 18 years passed). The figure doesn't seems too big, but it'd got 200% increased when you calculate in terms of percentage. Well, that means a lot to me :P...
Besides that, lets take the price of mixed rice for the calculation... my lowest for 1 vege and 1 meat 10 years back was about RM3.5(I think lesser than this) which equivalent around 50% la...
Meaning to say, you are using twice the money to buy the same or even lesser quantity for the same thing 10years after. Somehow I thought this way... my RM10k saving 10years back has became a "value" of RM5k even tough you still can see the figure of RM10k in the bank book.
Eh, not saying that saving is not good here or not asking you to stop saving... Personally thinks saving is a must and is so important especially for the young one. But saving blindly without a plan is very dangerous as you don't realized the value of your money has become lesser than before. Suggest, to save for a purpose, such as for any types of investment, or something you think is worth buying that can create value for you....
Hope you enjoy reading, good luck and to be continued...
Still learning and always will be :)
