Its now about 1 week plus since the fuel hike of 41%. Its quite a steep raise as we all can tell.
Since then, if you open the papers, you would see people esp those politicians asking us to change our lifestyle.
I was one of the first, who said I can't change my lifestyle as I don't even have a luxurious lifestyle now.
But I have to say this. Since the fuel hike, I have been more aware how and where I spend my money.
One of the most significant steps which I have taken is my food consumption. I now think about wastage more than ever. Now when I eat mcD, I will actually ask for a plastic bag to take away the fries when I couldn't finish. I used to just leave the unfinished fries on the tray and walk away. Thats one. When I go and eat those "chap farn" I will actually take only what I can eat and not more. Cut down on the number of dishes taken. It may seem like very small steps but at least I am taking those baby steps to help stop wastage.
Also on shopping, now i think really hard before I buy something. I see a pair of nice shoes, I will think twice before i buy it. One thing that really crop up in my mind is - Do I really need another pair??? YEAH I DO!!! kidding........... hehee
So what have you done to change your lifestyle to help with the fuel hike woes?
