For some reason, I know without a doubt that what I'm about to say has happened to us at least once in our lives.
About a week ago, I was talking to my friends about my plans to buy some certain stuff the moment I get a little bit of money. These stuff are not really important stuff that I need to survive, but they're stuff that I would like anyways, kinda like a gift to myself.
Tell me why, after how many days of me having that money and basically using it for every other stuff that I felt I needed it for, I forgot to get the one thing I had promised myself that I would get.
Now this isn't the first time something like this is happening to me, where I make a mental note of something I want to buy and then do the mistake of trusting my brain to remind me when it's time, but the moment I get that money, I would totally forget about that stuff, spend the money on other things, and the moment the money is spent, that is when my brain starts to recollect and reminds me of my earlier plans.
I once made an article here, talking about how money could get us drunk in a way where we no longer behave the way we usually do just because we now have some money with us, and I believe this is one of those situations.
Fortunately for me (or unfortunately) I'm not the only one this stuff happens to because I had immediately complained to my friends today and they too had confirmed that the same thing does happen to them too.
This is why rather than put all my trust on my brain that gets excited everytime I have a little bit of money in my account, I now will make physical notes about these things, depending on how important they are, so that when I do get that money, I can first of all buy those stuff I really want before getting drunk off the fact that I now have some money in my account.
