Basically 10 is really pushing it to the limit. No more new watches. I love my collection very much. For RM724, I got 3 watches. That's because I sold things I am no longer need for RM850. That makes a world of difference.
The reason I still buy Cordura is because I still like to wear my watches in pairs. No other watch matches Steele other than another G-Steel.
Lets look at the pair again:
The X FACTOR VARIATION
I definitely wear them in pairs. Both are a class of their own.
With this final purchase I can now immerse in my own little world. No more buying of stuff for the next 5 years. How about that? I just spend on food.
So spending RM724 now on something I will wear daily is not that bad at all considering I will stop buying everything else. I will no longer have fear of missing out (FOMO). I got the full range of G-Shocks and I got my cheapest watch which is a total satisfaction to own.
Now all my watches are on the equal footing. They are all unique. I cannot pick a favorite.
In the end the value for money watches are the ones that make me feel like on top of the world
From this point on I can have the pleasure of saving money.
-------------------
Looking back, 2016 was a good year. That was actually a year I started to recover financially. Then 2017 I got to know Sarah. 2018 I went head over heel for Els. 2019 was my best year ever. I paid for the house, I paid my debt to Lizzie, I got a brand new car, I got settlement for the property fraud, I bought Lizzie's car for cash and I bought FOUR G-Shocks. That was the year I bought gifts for Els, KG and Aush. I also bought Princess and Lizzie perfumes. I bought Sarah a shawl. 2020 I got the top of the line G-Steel and my cheapest watch, Tactical. I intend to stop buying anymore stuff for the entire 2020. Let see if I can have RM1000 as spare and add RM500 in my reserve.
What I'll do is I buy dinner for the family on my 30th Wedding Anniversary and give Mopey RM100 for her birthday. Better still I'll buy her Galaxy Fit for her 21st birthday. On the second thought I think I just give her the money. She prefers that and I save a bit too. She is doing fine without the Galaxy Fit. She is not too hot about the Apple smartwatch. So she is not into trends. She already got the best gadgets; Apple MacBook Air and Apple iPad
I got to stop finding reason to spend. I got to seriously save money. I am 55 now. I got to change my life's formula. All my life I had been spending. Now I need to start saving. It is still not too late.
---------------------
There is no reason to spend anymore. I bought my phone last year. I still got 3 good running shoes. I still got the drawing tablet and the sack pack that I don't use.
One thing for sure, I will no longer enter races. I should not buy expensive perfumes. No more personal accessories. No more Bluetooth headphones. No more sport shirts. No more daily clothes for the next 5 years. No more bags. No more knives. No more shoes for the next 5 years. NO MORE WATCHES.
What I should do is lose weight. I now found the right formula. I eat OMAD and at night I just eat a small apple. No more breads. No more dinners. No more cigarettes and dope. This had been hard but I have to do it; no more FB and Tweeting Rex.
I shall remain in isolation. This is good life. I actually got one really good friend; Yati. We have a common interest; we both enjoy trying to get thin. She can accept me as I am. She understands Bipolar. She likes eating.
In Ramadan I got BJ and RR. Other days they don't bother me. Of course I got Munek. That reduces my Value Added Companion to 4. Yup, half a hand. Other than that I got Sarah.
I think when Mopey starts working, she can use the Myvi and I drive Lizzie's car. No point selling that car, I like driving it. It's debt free. Cannot beat the feeling. Plus the mileage is very low. I don't go far anyway. If I need to travel further I just switch cars. No radio is no problem. The car gives me peace of mind.
In the end what matters is value for money purchases. Just like the Tactical. If I can wear a cheap watch, why not drive a cheap car? Let's saves money all the way. You never know when shit gonna hit the fan. No money is despairing.
Once I am in isolation, I no longer need to keep up with the Joneses. I am in my own world happily clawing the keyboard. I like the concept of WiFi and cloud. My computer hardly access the hard drive. It is pretty much like a TV. I hope it stays like this forever. Maybe I change the LCD screen after 5 years. Much like a TV. I foresee this may need money in the next few years.
