New Year Wrap-Up

Today's the last day of the traditional 15-day Lunar New Year celebrations. Time to collate the financial ins and outs of the season.

Total amount collected: S$656

Total amount distributed: S$405

Total profit: S$251

Spent on buying the lottery (which I of course did not win): S$50

Lost at various mahjong and card games: Approx. S$20

Not too bad, definitely better than last year's loss of S$25. I wonder why that's so. Maybe we saw more peripheral relatives, who just so happened to be bloody rich. Maybe the economy's doing better - I definitely saw less S$2 notes compared to last year. And maybe it's because I cut down my "contributions" significantly, haha. Being a little more conscious of exactly how much I can afford helps. I end the season with profits just short of S$200.

Actually, with all the eating and shopping and shit, I probably ended up spending more money than I took in. Damn.
