Yahaan sab fazool kharch hain.

Close thread please. :@:

P.S. You might want to check out the Stretch the Dollar thread in Household Affairs. :)

Saving Money

I'm the biggest spend thrift ever :(
I guess piggy bank is a good way of saving :)
Let me know if it helps :)

Re: Saving Money

O yes. A piggy bank. And when it is full, go buy yourself a new car. Yay !!! :k: :clap:

Re: Saving Money

I’m saving for a car but I use a real bank instead.

Re: Saving Money

Real bank requires real money - as in money you can't fit in a piggy bank.

With the amount in your bank account which year are you targeting to buy the car ? :@:

Or are you just saving for the down payment at this time ?

BTW, where have you been, didn't come across you for several days.

Re: Saving Money

Saving for an old one. Don't plan on leasing or taking out a loan. Probabably start of 2014 if the family doesn't get one by then.

I've been lurking, reading threads and blogs. But I have less time on my hands now, with going to work and all.

Re: Saving Money

It’s always wise to get a reliable pre-owned car that is in good shape.

Looks like you are paying heed to dad’s advice on loans and stuff. Good.

Enjoy the match today. I heard, as a treat, there won’t be load shedding for the duration of the match.

Heck, they can’t get food or shelter to the sailaab mutaassireen but they will get them a couple TVs to watch the match. :smack:

Re: Saving Money

Don’t think we can get loans over here for old car. Probably buying a car that some has on lease is a possibility, they’d just transfer the lease in your name.

And I’m expecting that we’ll have car before that anyway, so won’t have to buy one. Then I can use my savings to travel to a country or two :).

I probably won’t be watching it, because the TV would be tuned into some Drama Channel. Meh! Not a big cricket fan anyway. Though the Bangladesh vs Pakistan match, office me koi mahol tha. And the South Africa match, everyone was in the Cafetaria for the last over.

Re: Saving Money

So were the guppies on here for the last 1/2 hour of the SA match.

You should have seen the frenzy in the thread.

I am sure it will be worse today, if Pakistan is winning.

How's new job ?

A country or two ?
As far as I know, your obsession is limited to one country. :)

Re: Saving Money

Well Dubai to ghar ki laundi hay(not really, never even been there), 2 hour flight, so I'll probably go over there so that's UAE one, then my obsession and then there is the country North of my obsession.

Re: Saving Money

Aap bhi fazool kharch hoon gay phir tu? :@:
Why you want my thread to get closed ? :sannan:
Remember, single members don’t need to visit Household forum. :snooty: :e6:

PG, I am one of you, I spend too much. :frowning:
I have got my saving account opened at the same branch where i have my normal account. I don’t know the PIN for my saving account, I just tell them to transfer money into my saving account so I don’t get any access to use my saving money. I myself want to get control,how to do that?

How do you stop yourself ? Is it easy ?

I guess you were disappointed and went to sleep? :hehe: It was sad,I am not going to watch Cricket again.

Re: Saving Money

Give all of it to mama and she makes sure i have minimum fizool kharch :bummer:

Re: Saving Money

I am fazool khurch for somethings but not for others.
I suggested the thread be closed because you weren’t going to get any useful ideas here. :slight_smile:

I have a checking and savings and I can transfer money in and out of it online.
Don’t even have to go to the bank unless I need cash.

I didn’t actually go to sleep but I have other things to do in life besides be tortured by a losing match. :slight_smile:

Re: Saving Money

I look at the big picture. What do I really want that I don’t have right now. And I don’t have to pay for food, electrcity or transportation, so that helps to. Sposored by dad. But still that’s all I get for free, and I do have to stop myself from spending.

Although my dad tells me to spend my money on my wardrobe at least.

Re: Saving Money

Purchase gold jewelry

Re: Saving Money

I used to be so fazool kharch compared to now, I have stopped visiting the shopping malls,lol.
I only go to the bank when I need to put some cash in or take out some cash. Thanks for the idea,the other day my younger sis asked me to transfer money into her account, I transferred and the money was there with in five minutes,it was quicker than PayPal. I would be doing the same with my saving account from now on. :k:

No worries, you 'll see more replies here. :slight_smile:

You see for girls ,all the money goes on fashion, dressing, shoes n make up. :hehe:
I am planning to get a car soon , need some savings for that but keeping a car is expensive for a student. :bummer:
For you, it won’t be that expensive , just get a car and go.Here we have to pay road tax,car insurance,MOT. :mad:

No, you have to pay zakat on it,no?

Re: Saving Money

I dont go shopping :bummer:
