I do not stop invest. Instead, I follow closely on how, what and where I can save. For example, instead of keep them in standby mode, I insist all my family members to turn all the A/C off whenever electrical items like TV or radio are not in use. I also request them to switch off the lights and fan when they are not in the room. After months of practicing, I realize that my electrical bill has dropped by almost 24% in average.

Wow! That’s incredible savings! Good for you. It does take some getting used to, doesn’t it? But when you are forced into that situation, more often than not you find that you will just make it. I guess it’s all a matter of discipline too.

I actually stop my unit trust monthly debit n keep the money to myself – investing some into stocks. the rest ah…cut down on few things – don go out so much, cut down on the so-called luxury food, don buy any WANTs. after my 40% pay cut fr my prev job, i realized that i can actually survive (ngam ngam) with the new pay…so now that i m back to normal salary, i should be able to save around 30-40%
