Haha, true, I think gyms will be losing more members- gyms would probably be the first expense that people cut down on (and why not Astro?). But for me, I consider the membership fee as an investment for my health- more scared to get diabetes or high blood pressure coz I will not be able to afford the meds.

for me it is the other way round…increase in fuel prices makes gym omos a luxury now with fuel to n from the gym n gym fees, supplements etc.. after my membership expires i might jus give up

Well got to agree with Yin Teing, we can cut down on our spending by reducing our way of eating outside at high class restaurant. I have friends who will only think of those taste no mather how expensive they are when u tell them is not worth it, they will reply you “Enjoy life man” or with an irritating answer “Why are you so kiam siap rm 18 for a cup of coffee not a big deal”. Well price of petrol increase will make more people to stay at home more often and like you said eat less unhealthy food outside. There are always pros and cons in this type of price increasement.

Actually, if we look carefully at our expenses, there are lots of area we can cut down on spending. Like stop succumbing to impulse purchases and buy only what we need, curb the expensive taste of eating at high end restaurants and Starbucks latte. Who knows, we may end up saving more :)

No, I think they should let the price increase, since petroleum is running out soon, there’s no way the price is going to reduce since higher demand over supplement. Look at the bright side, people are losing weight and they are learning how to save money at the same time, isn’t this great? Maybe you guys should resort to something more beneficial, like what you’ve mentioned afore, waling is the best way or probably cycling. Anyway there’s a possibility the bicycle price will increase right? I mean after petrol is out, haha!!

Thanks for this informative and useful article Mun. But you’re right too, old habit tends to kick in after some time. People will get used to the price increase eventually.
