Ada orang bijak yang berkata jika ingin sukses maka harus dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan. Penyesuaian tiada henti harus terus dilakukan agar dapat bertahan hidup. Banyak yang tidak mampu bertahan karna merasa hidupnya sudah mapan dan berfikir bahwa perubahan hanya sebentar saja dan efeknya tidak banyak.
Jika kita tidak mengambil tindakan yang benar dan hidup dalam kemewahan hari ini bukan masa depan, maka kita akan celaka.
Ibuku sering berkata "Jangan boros!", "Kalo ke Mall jangan belanja!" pokoknya berbagai kata "Jangan" karna mengeluarkan uang untuk kesenangan sudah terpatri diingatan. Terkadang kesal sekali kalo harus mendengar katakata itu, lebih kesal lagi kalo harus nurutin katakata itu.
Masa iya ke mall ga ngeluarin duit?? Ga boleh beli ini itu,, gak boleh beli baju cantik yang menurut mamaku gak akan dipake dan bakal menuhmenuhi lemari.
Mall adalah tempat yang paling sulit dihindari untuk tidak mengeluarkan uang. Walau cuma 10rb dan itu untuk bayar parkiran,,,
Banyak pembisik pembisik yang tidak terlihat yang selalu menggoda kita untuk mengeluarkan uang.
Temenku pernah ada yang ngomong gini, "gue itu konsumtif banget deh... Gue gak ngerti kenapa bisa gini." dan itu gak terjadi pada satu orang, banyak dari kita pun terperangkap dalam keadaan ini.
Sangat sulit melepaskan diri dari belenggu keinginan untuk menghabiskan uang. Begitu uang gaji diterima, dihabiskan untuk bayar berbagai tagihan, kesenangan pribadi, makan, pulsa dan kalo ada sisa yaa bagus kalo gak ada terpaksa puasa.
Begitu terus sampai akhirnya kita nggak tau lagi harus bagaimana.
Monster ini harus segera dihentikan dan perlu diberantas. Setiap bulannya kita harus membuat daftar keperluan setiap bulannya sesuai dengan gaji yang kita terima. Daftar itu di breakdown lagi menjadi jadwal pengeluaran setiap minggu. Dan kita pun harus membuat pembukuan setiap harinya. Hal ini sangat penting untuk melihat sektor mana yang paling besar dan sektor mana yang sudah sesuai dengan kebutuhan dasar setiap harinya. Sektor yang pengeluarannya paling besar itu harus ditelaah lebih lanjut lagi. Kita harus membuat daftar pertanyaan yang harus kita jawab dengan jujur.
1. Apa benar barang yang kita beli itu barang yang kita perlukan??
2. Seberapa inginnya kita membeli barang tersebut??
3. Seberapa butuhnya barang tersebut dalam kehidupan kita??
4. Apakah jika barang tersebut tidak dibeli kita bermasalah??
5. Apakah barang tersebut dapat mengganggu kondisi finansial kita??
Yang terpenting setiap kali kita menerima gaji, sisihkan minimal 10% dari pendapatan yang kita terima untuk ditabung. Pisahkan rekening yang digunakan khusus menjadi tabungan, dengan rekening yang digunakan sebagai transaksi ato pengeluaran. Rekening yang sebagai tabungan jangan diganggu gugat dan tidak boleh digunakan untuk hal yang tidak penting dan tidak menghasilkan!
Berbagai sektor pengeluaran harus diawasi dengan ketat dan harus diminimalkan agar finansial yang sudah terlanjur berantakan menjadi membaik.

wasteful part 2
I realize that not only wasteful of my financial condition made worse but also caused me to be drowned in a moment of pleasure. I count all my expenses, I will only buy what I need is not what I want.
Now I promise to my self to tighten my bill, focus to my future, and focus to what i really need it.
My father used to say that the fate of a people will not be changed by Allah, if the people did not change. But how?? My Father said the method is change the internal. Change your habit. Positif thinking. And focus on yourself. You don't have to thinking about others. All you have to do is think of yourself, help yourself, and then help others.
And He was right.
I know I can be what I want to be. I have to focus to my future. I have so many plan in next year and years after. Its only work if I'm focus.
Cheers!

Wasteful
Wasteful is one of my weakness and my favorite thing to do. I used to waste my money to bought things that i knew i'm not need it. I always spending. Spending. And spending.
My mom always give me speech at least 10minutes about my habit. At the same time, she show me my closet. Humpff... Sometimes i hate when my mother do that... Cause She always right.
I knew i have spending a lot of money.. I got a wake up call when i check my bank account, the nominal surprizing me. I think i must do something. I have to save my money. Penny by penny.
One day my father call me. He said I must go to Pacitan to handle his project. Before I go he give me lecture about my habit. He tell about my sisters. They are good in save money. Totally different with me. All I can do is hold my breath until I can fix my bad habit.
When I'm in Pacitan, I think I can fulfill my promise. Not to spend money for useless goods. I always said to my self I have bought usefull goods. Its work. In Pacitan, I can't buy cool cloth, or nice jacket or jeans, or bag or shoe. I can't spending money!
I want to cry...
There no shopping mall, or ITC. There only minimarket and traditional market.
My activity is work and sleep at home. When I'm bored, I used to go to Beach. Or going to Pacitan city. To find entertainment and buy things I need in a week.
I only spend my money for food.
Problem came out when i go to Jogja or go back to Jakarta. When I'm in Jogja to refreshing, I bought bracelet, necklace, pin, and all made from wood. Or I bought dagadu shirts.
Its feel... Fun, happy, and i'm satisfied. And when I'm go back to my lovely city, Jakarta. I spend a big money. I felt that thing is worth it. I bought for my self. I give a gift for my self which have success survive in Pacitan and success to increase my bank account. I think its very worth it.
But one day, I check my bank account because I feel something wrong happen... Eventhough my account increase but not significant. The nominal is not like i'm thinking before. I check all my bill. I tried to remember it.
And than i'm so ashamed...
The fact said I'm still wasteful. I'm still big spender. Humpfff....
Its hard for me when I knew i'm still big spender.
But I have change my habit. Not much but the progress already see. Its proven by my bank account. Increase but not much and i'm happy. :)
Oprah said "I hate spending."
But my dear oprah, its easy to say but so hard to do. But i try.
Yah, I try to change my bad habit. I know I will be a big saver, not a big spender..
Cheers up!
