monthly financial cycle
Posted by anasimtiaz on Jun 20, 2010 in Life | 19 commentsMy financial month begins on the 26th of each month, or the weekday before it if 26 happens to be an off day. A good day when everyone at work seems to be delighted as the bank accounts are topped up 
The first few days are good with plenty of spending with multiple trips to malls and dinners out. All those plans that I made of buying little things a week ago while staring blankly at the monitor at work daydreaming come in to the forefront. Ten days in to the month and that slightly unsettling feeling starts to draw in, especially if I happen to look at my bank statement while drawing out some cash. It gets worse when those ugly bills with extras start to appear in the middle of the month and suddenly a big chunk of money goes out in the house rent. I promise to myself to curtail spending from next month. Another ten days and then I start looking at that reserve amount I keep aside for troubled times. The last ten days (esp. the last 5) are the worst. Everything goes on standby, every price tag looks magnified. And then comes that wonderful day again. The cycle goes again in a while(job==true) loop.
Managing finances isn’t as easy as I earlier imagined it to be :\
you need to add a break; or a goto(start of month) statement after every while loop
or else it will keep on running FOREVER 
oh no i dont want to break from the loop – no way
aur abhi you are unmarried!!!.na laiq insaan!!! begum bachon k kharchay kaisay manage karo gay?
ok i need to stop overreacting..
dont worry, month of Ramzan is on its way, at least your food expenses will go down a notch..
im not worried duhh…aise hi post kardi
That’s just it. A cycle. Money is just that. A cycle, it comes and it goes and it comes again and then it goes again. And you know what the saddest part is, in today’s world, that’s all that counts. Money.
and u hve to find the saddest part in everything
Dude, whatever you do, do NOT use a GOTO!
yes thats the rule
GUYS can never be serious with the money managing issues… and they call US spree shoppers
at times it actually is quite a relief not to be going thru this cycle any more. i just hated keeping track of my account balances..and i dont mind staying away from it all..at least not for the time being
yes keeping track is hard!
Trust me,after marriage you will be missing this “financial cycle”
On a serious note, women often prove themselves as good financial managers. I have never been a good money saver and my wife is just opposite of me. She has freed me from all these stuff and I let her manage financial things. Not all women are evil
make sure your wife reads this lol
Dear Anas,
This is John Wilpers from GlobalPost. I have managed to lose your e-mail address and would like to send something to you. Would you mind sending me your e-mail so I can get in touch, please?
Thank you,
John
When you start working over time, you won’t get time to spend your money.
over time means extra hours? why will i do that? i find my current hours more than enough .. and i need time to spend as well
Umm, extra hours=extra money?
Oh, I so agree with H, you should start working over time.
But then again, I think you will spend even MORE then.
over time and earn money but not the effective work or smart work
