HelloOooo!!! Hello!! HelloooOooooo everyone 😀 How is your Monday, Everyone?!! Hope it’s gone..smooothly…another 4 days to goo…wooHoooOoo!!!
Okay, everyone is getting busy to get back to the normal lifestyle, same goes to going back to the office. I found it’s kinda disturbing, after 2 years plus we’ve been working from home, right? Some will be effective when working from office, the other will be effective when working from home. But hey, do we get any choices now? Nope. 😄
Okay, so I’ve been looking into extra expenses that I need to bare when going back to the office such as transporation, food, safety essential (mask, sanitizer), dress etc. This is how, I try to manage my daily expenses low, as low as I can 😃
Going back to the office, What should I spend on?
1. Transportation
I believe this is the most expenses that we need to spend, including both fuel and season car parking. But, if you have public transport option, go with public transport. Well, it’s individual choice. For me, I preferred public transport because save a lot money, and traveling time can spend to do something. It cost me at least RM 160 for parking, and fuel about RM 200 per month. While using public transport (LRT), it cost me RM 50 per month 😃
2. Lunch
Well, this is kinda expensive too. It cost about at least RM20 per day, that makes it RM 100 per week and RM 400 per month. If you can prepare the lunch, it is advisable to do so. But hey, my current job kinda flexi, so I be going to office for half day, and going back to home for another half of the day. I save my lunch by making my own lunch at home 😃
3. Clothes
Okay, as a minimalist, I don’t buy any new clothes to go office. I just recycle what I have by mix & match my clothes. Pretty happy with this new approach, I can now control buying clothes 😄
4. Safety essential
You can’t avoid this. I spend lil bit on face mask, if you like the washable mask, you can use it. But, I do still comfortable wearing the disposable mask. Might be later, to start use the washable one, so I can save from buying disposable mask. Sanitizer, I got store in my bag, and 1 in workplace drawer just in case I forgot to bring. ☺
Okay guys, I think thats for now..try to reduce waste in future, I’m still trying my best…🙂😗
Till then….to be continue…
Love, Sofia
