More on groceries which is a must. Once in a while for garments/ medicines and other accessories.

I used to pick some show pieces if i feel its nice / unique. Electronic items only if the need arises and not for fancy.

Donation to ashram / orphanage during important events of our life like b'days and anniversaries.

We spend a little amount on books every month. Comics, fiction, story books, informative books & coloring books, either or all of these. We never give a second thought when it comes to buying books.

My Dear Aruna,

Buying property is very essential now a days as it is useful in many ways in future ... and now you have made this habit to your hubby also ...

Thanks for sharing here Aruna ... Regards, Suni ...

Hi Dolorcosta
Saving -5% ??????????????
That is a neat analysis of income you have put up...........
For me from the list that you have mentioned more then 50% of the expenses are looked after by the company so at present I could do some saving...........but once my kid starts going to UNI then my real expenses will start so I am doing my savings for my kids education.

Cheers !!

At present we are spending a lot on grocery and provision only.
