I Have Been Frugal With the Wrong Thing📱....

I’ve always been super frugal when it comes to certain items..
So frugal that I even asked my friends about their monthly phone plans.
And honestly, I haven’t found anyone paying less than me.
My plan? HK$68 a month. The lowest among my peers.
(If yours is lower than mine, please comment below!!)
But the speed is painfully slow when it comes to data roaming.
It gives me 15GB at 4.5G speed, but the data maxes out so quickly that my
WhatsApp calls to candidates or clients don’t even connect.
And I regret signing that 2‑year contract!!
💡 Back then, I thought I was smart.
I relied on home and office Wi‑Fi, so why pay more?
Until one day, the office Wi‑Fi went down for an hour for maintenance.
Colleagues with great data plans? They just hotspot their laptops.
Me? I had to run to a café to keep chatting with clients on wifi....
That’s when I realised: I was frugal with the wrong thing.
💡 My phone and mobile data aren’t just bills.
They’re my sales tools.
My investment.
Now that my contract is expiring, I’ll switch to the fastest plan of 5.5G speed!!
Even if it costs triple!
I will just save in other areas such as buying fewer dresses and sports clothes monthly...
Because faster speed means smoother calls, quicker access to info, and better client connections.
👉 Don’t be frugal with things that generate you sales.
👉 Invest in items that can bring you more output and generate you higher revenue
