8. August - Book tours & tickets for Japan trip.
9. September - Savings

And now?

1. January - Buy new office attire for new job. (Achieved)
2. February - Buy Trial of X, Volume 1-12. (Achieved)
3. March - Set aside for Hari Raya. (Achieved)
4. April - Buy Japan flight ticket. (Failed - I bought my Bangkok flight ticket instead.)
5. May - Savings. (Failed - I bought my Tokyo flight ticket instead. )
6. June - Savings. (Failed - I went on a 2 weeks worktrip to Hamburg, got overexcited, went on a shopping spree and spent more than $8,000.)
7. July - Savings. (Failed - I was paying back my credit card debt.)
8. August - Book tours & tickets for Japan trip. (Failed - I went to Bangkok and miscalculated my funds, end up with more debt.)
9. September - Savings. (Failed - I was paying back my credit card debt.)
10. October - 2 weeks in Osaka & Tokyo. (Failed - I will only be going to Tokyo for 10 days on a rather tight budget.)
11. November - Savings. (Failed - I will be paying back my credit card debt.)
12. December - Birthday trip to Bangkok (Semi-achieved - I did went to Bangkok in August, though now, I will still be paying back my credit card debt.)

I really need to managed my finances properly. Left with about 3 months till 2025 and I've been broke since I came back from my Hamburg trip. This November and December, I really need to get my act together. Hopefully 2025, I will be more strict on myself.

In Shaa' Allah, I will be able to pay my credit card debt and everything will be fine.
