Do you believe this?

I have read that we actually adapted this belief from the chinese. They always have a lot of beliefs when it comes to spending money. I think there's nothing wrong with buying a present but it is also always wise not to spend on the new year. We could always buy it on after christmas sale when prices have lowered a little bit. Sometimes they do sound funny not to be spending but in this very hard times I think it is wise not to.

I just could imagin what your great grandma did. It had a funny imagination about it. Good thing you did not feel the trauma on spending on new year's eve. The more I think that it becomes a bad luck when shouts it to us. Oh well, you know the old people, they always love to follow superstitious and wanted the next generation to follow it without question. And the more we love to question these beliefs.;-)

Yes, I agree with you. Discipline with oneself when to purchasing stuff no matter what day is really important. My husband always tell me to buy things if it is necessary, if not I should not buy it. He is a very wise spender and needs no superstitions to abide.
