mcm KCLau tulis >>>>> hard work and no fun! ........... tapi kalau korang try few, maybe korang boleh cut between 10% - 30% expenses korang sebulan, or maybe setahun ... hey, berjaya cutting 10% tu dah kira bagus la kan, at least korang berjaya!
just imagine, korang ada hutang kad kredit yang tinggi, kalau boleh cut 10% expenses korang, so bolehlah guna utk bayar hutang kad kredit kan *
just like me once upon a time dulu dulu, ouch!* ... tapi tu, nnt la mrs pip storimori about my bad experienced guna kad kredit, what a bad money management dulu! ..........
selamat berusaha !
cheers semua
