I have no statistics to back the assertion up but I feel that guys save more than girls. Girls, on the other hand, buy too much. Or perhaps you're the type of girl who doesn't spend a lot but don't see the need to dress yourself up (or maybe you are just naturally pretty). Girls who bother with self-presentation and yet succeed in keeping their materialism under check are far few and in between.
I'm trying to de-clutter my life now. Streamline my wardrobe and make-up products.
Selling away what I no longer use. Putting money into better use.
To declutter your makeup, restrict yourself to only a few items that you really like. Sell away the rest. If you are from Singapore, I recommend sg_beauty (Livejournal community). Sell your clothes on Agnes&Maurice, sgselltrade and sgflea.
I wish someone taught me this when I was earning (a lot compared to most other post A level students) 1 year ago. At least it is not too late. It's better that I learn that I don't need so much now than only when I step out into the working world.
There is also really no need to be hooked into social media and be constantly available. My Bermuda Triangle of Procrastination: Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. There is no need to incessantly conduct email checking. Guilty for my Gmail. You know it in theory but it is so hard in practice.
Completed The Monk who Sold His Ferrari. I recommend this book!
