Coping with Rising Costs of Living

Oil Prices up, Food Prices up, Minister Salaries Up . Everything Up but our income never go up so how?

I have decided to do up a list of things I could do to manage the running-away prices.

1. Dun order drinks when you eat out at foodcourts. Drinks are the most mark-up item in the menu. Bring your own water bottle. (This I think I can do)

2. Stop having sex.- Saves on condom, contraceptives and tissues (This I dun think I can do)

3. Shower once a day (This I am not saying whether I will do)

4. Share your internet access with your neighbours (this I cannot tell you if am doing cuz I think it is illegal)

5. Cancel your cable and watch tv for free on the internet with china channels, bittorrent (this I am already doing).

6. Do your own laundry – Save water bill, washing machine electricity bill, and it is good exercise.(this got time then I do)

7.Stop smoking (This I already done…lolzzz)

8. Stop drinking beer and liquor (this I am not going to do, lolzzzzz)

9. Rice expensive then eat more potatoes aka kanteng (Who knows, maybe our spoken English can improve)

10. And Finally, sleep more – the one human activity that is truly free (This I love doing!)

So there you have it. My starter’s kit on how to cope with rising costs! Have a great week ahead!
