New Learning

Learning, always is a new experience. I learn everyday and try to implement what I learn in my day to day life. Managing your expenses is quite a tough job. Getting out of the student life when you survive on pocket money, into an independent professional life is a big leap. Managing the finance is necessary. I learn a new lesson almost everyday.

I have to travel a lot before I reach office. I have fixed expenditure while coming but while returning I use a different route. So expenses vary. What I have done in order to discipline my expenditures, I have fixed a budget for my monthly travel expenses. I know I wont exceed that but if I do I need to curtail other costs. That might take a toll on my over-eating habit :). On a serious note I keep my structured expense calculation in a spreadsheet over my mail. Or you can try the desk top as well. Being calculative does not harm. I will keep calculating till I become a billionaire and then MIGHT think of spending without thinking.
