Hello there! 🙂 We’re in the midst of Black Friday period, where there are tonnes of offer and sale.

Have you spent a lot of money this year? 😉

In Singapore, there’s sale all year round. The major shopping period is the Great Singapore Sale, which happens around June to July every year.

This year, though, the retailers have created more events to let us spend more! Now we have 11.11 (Singles’ Day, which came from China), and Black Friday (which came from the US). There’s going to be Cyber Monday, and 12.12.

Are you timing your shopping?

I don’t typically spend a lot of money buying things. I have enough of them, truly.

So, I don’t think I’m a shopaholic. Perhaps. Not much.

Okay, maybe I’ll let you decide. I have bought 3 dresses from one store. And on another occasion, I bought 3 shirts from one store. Does that make me a shopaholic? 🙂 I do that because I want to save time. Yes, I’m one of those women who do not enjoy spending hours shopping.

Over the past few years, I have learnt a few things about how to use money better, and how to grow money without losing sleep over it. I’ve been surprised at how much I did not know before.

How do you feel about money and living well? Do you think it is possible to live well without money?

I have always wondered why personal finance is not taught in schools. But no matter, we can learn and share with one another.
