I posted on my Twitter that I was looking for Jibran's passport that I misplaced somewhere (A very important announcement, indeed). Then a friend BBMed me, asking me if I was planning to go overseas..then she went 'Enak lo yaa jalan-jalan terus'..which I answered..I wish..:D. We're not planning on going anywhere (well there's the Umrah plan, which we still haven't finalized) but our passports are about to be expired soon so it's better to renew them before passing the expiration date. I heard it's cheaper that way.
Anyway, that got me thinking about family, particularly spending for the kids. Yes we've had a few luxuries such as taking a trip to Singapore and Europe in the last 2 years but we skimp on a few other areas in order to support it such as:
- Jehan doesn't drink formula milk (and Jibran only consumed a little bit). I don't know how much is a can of formula milk but that amount times one or two year? Man that's A LOT!
- We don't have certified nanny. Just a regular mbak who helps out. How much is a nanny salary? Maybe double than regular mbak? If that's an extra 600 thousands, that equals to an extra Rp 7,200,000 a year. That's about the same price of return ticket we got to London last year.
