BUY NOTHING DAY (16-7-2009) is a day where the idea simply is to buy absolutely nothing - not even a litre of petrol or even a parking ticket. The concept first begin in 1993 in Canada.
Now it has spread to over 65 nations including US, UK, Argentina, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan & Malaysia among others...
Here the time for cheap fuel and food is over. For people used to living comfortably and putting all the blame on the government for price hikes which forced them to tone down their lifestyle, bahavioral change is undeniably hard...
On our part, we've tried our best but still end up spending RM30... that's on assam laksa ingredients (the homemade assam laksa was awesome...did I mention that I fall in love again after the first dip ... hmmmm) plus two glasses of white coffee... hehehe...
ice white coffee...some can't get enough of it...wonder who??
assam laksa...yummy...
but no point of not spending on the specific day and back to normal spending for the remaining 364 days!!! The rationale behind the concept is to train people to be prudent...it will take time to change bad habits (unnecessary spending, impulse buying blablabla) but we have to start some how!!
and off course we'll try harder next year...
