Monthly Spending

Money seems to be a problem for me.I wonder where has my money gone through?
Living here, Siem Reab, for almost half year, look like I have spend money without planning properly.
It makes me into trouble. Who know? I am always looking forward to the end of the month counting how much I have earned. That is I can't effort to buy a new cell phone. I mean my cell phone is having problem and need to change.

Recently I am reading a book called "Real College", It includes some useful information for those who is about to leave a family and getting into college and of course will meet some difficulties such as: your roommate, your social life, your grades, your parents, and your self. There is one subtopic called " A note on spending". It makes me feel that I need to do something now. Hence, I decided to note down every little thing I spent and my note show as below:

1. House rent: $50
2. Water and electricity: 10000 real
3. Lunch and dinner: $63
4. Breakfast, snack, fruit and others: $28.75 plus 138600 real
Accoding to the note i have spend nearly $150 per month. It is not included cloth and material for using in the house.

You see I have not spent lots of money as I think. $150 per month for those who live alone is acceptable, isn't it? Although, I do not earn lots of money anyway that's why I can not effort a new cell phone. I think I need to be more careful on spending.
