How to Deal with "Fat" Wallet

by Max Law from MaxMayo.com

Do you have a "fat" wallet? Have you ever had trouble to sit comfortably while keeping your wallet in your back pocket?

A big, fat wallet might be a sign of prosperity, but when it's getting too big even for your pocket, it's a sign to call for some house-keeping. You may have already used to sitting with a lump on your butt cheek, but scientifically this lump can cause you back pain, namely the hip-pocket syndrome.

Personally I always avoid sitting with a fat wallet for the sake of my debit and credit cards. I actually cracked my ATM card once. :P #TrueStory

Here's a guide on how to reduce the size of your wallet:

Audit Your Wallet Regularly

Wallet vs iPhone

Wallet requires some spring cleaning once in a while. Technically, it's not difficult to check and clean your wallet, but making it a habit is a different story. Try to check your wallet once a week to remove unnecessary things and I think that's the "diet plan" your wallet needs.

File Your Receipts

I know, because I kept all my credit cards receipts in my wallet too :) If you still can find a receipt dated last few months, you probably need to start working on your personal filing system. Besides, some receipts fade really fast so it's it's best to file them before it's too late.

Remove Coins

Coins not only bloat your wallet, they also damage your wallet.

Only Keep Frequently Use Cards

Remove the less popular cards from your wallet. You don't always need all the cards, especially membership cards.

Remove Pictures

Well, you can always keep your photos in your smartphone.

Choose The Right Wallet

Always go for slimmer wallet design with less compartment or layers. Go for wallets that are minimal in design in order to reduce the bulk. For example, try to avoid zippers, 3-fold-design and thick leather or fabric.

Hope this post is helpful to you. :)

My Wedding Proposal in 201x

by Daniel Chiam

First of all, Happy New Year 2013 to everyone! Finally 2012 has come to an end, and a new chapter of life has already begun. I'm not sure about all of you, but I am very much excited for 2013 because I have foreseen a lot of interesting things has been installed for me in this brand new year.

1st of January 2013 was celebrated with full of love cause I was involved in helping a good friend of mine with his flash mob dancing wedding proposal. It was a joyous occasion and nonetheless was filled with a lot of anxiety and anticipation also. Some of our friends had never dance in public on a broad daylight before, and thus it was really a nerve wrecking experience for everyone.

The main element of the proposal is of course the element of surprise. Not only the flash mob dancing is a surprise but with my friend putting and effort to sing and dance, which is totally out of his comfort zone is really huge surprise already. There were a few hiccups along the way, but looking back, it was what made the whole proposal fun, funny and memorable.

Congratulation to Antonia and Yee Seng

Last year itself in 2012, two of my good friend had also proposed to their girlfriend and is now happily engaged. Somehow, I get to be involved in one of the friend's process of planning and getting ready for the whole proposal and with just these two involvement, it is safe for me to assume that it takes a lot of effort, time and money to come out with a great wedding proposal.

Previously in becoming Mr. Romantic, I wrote to remind myself that no matter in what stages of the relationship I am in, I shall not stop showering my dear one with lots of love. Today I just wanted to remind myself again that no matter which stages of the relationship that I am in, I will not allow my relationship to get boring and mundane!

My wedding proposal in the coming years shall be awesomely fun and romantic too! Haha, then again, I have to work hard to find a girlfriend first before I can go anywhere near that epic like a love song wedding proposal of mine. 

Anyway, I wish each and everyone of you all the best for 2013 and may all your wishes come true. Above all, I wish you hope, joy and love throughout the awesome 2013!
