Honorary Credit Card User

I was clearing my stuff a few days back, lots of old bills and receipts tat I have kept over the years for god knows why. Had abt 3 clear folders full of them and they date all the way back to year 2002! Can u imagine? - 7 years worth of receipts and bills!!!

Ok, tat sounds like mountains, I correct myself...they are only credit card bills and receipts.

I had a great time going through and remembering where I have been to, what I have bought, where I have eaten, etc during this past 7 years.

I got my first Subsidiary Credit Card (from my Sis-in-law) in 2002. I was going for my very first overseas trip by PLANE!...yah lah, age 23 then take plane for the first time in my life. PERTH, AUSTRALIA - QANTAS AIRWAY - WINDOW SEAT. It was a great experience watching the landscape getting smaller and smaller, then finally disappear under the clouds.

Realised tat certain important events in my life can be seen from the receipts and bills.

2002 - 1st trip to Perth, Australia
2002 - memorable dinner at Equinox, costing $150+ for 2 pax

2003 - enrolled in SIM 2 years part-time degree course

2005 - permed my hair for the first time (digital perm @ $300+)
2005 - 2nd trip to Perth, Australia

2007 - bought my PSP
2007 - joined True Yoga membership for 2 years

2008 - 1st trip to Brisbane, Australia
2008 - Firm's trip to Hanoi, Vietnam
2008 - Trip to Hongkong
2008 - Family trip to Genting, Malaysia

2009 - 2nd trip to Brisbane, Australia

But the most amazing fact I discovered is tat...abt 70% of the receipts are for F&B - food and beverages! I dun mean the total value of my spendings but just by the number of receipts. Scary. And also its eye-popping to see for a fact how much a person can spend in a mere 7 years, I dun even dare to total up the spendings.

Have u checked ur bills too??? Go on, its rather interesting.
