It's the same as when I spend on books or invest in gaining knowledge for myself... An expense or an investment?
At the moment, I'm tracking such spending as expenses, incorporating them into my maximum of $900 a month. Yet expenses in buying stocks such as Starhub are not included into my expenses column. Weird right?
These thoughts have been revolving around my mind for a period of time, and I have decided to blog on it when I purchase some supplements over iherb.com because it is cheaper to do so (due to weak USD).
I guess I will continue to list them as expenses on my personal balance sheet so that my actual "useless" expenses could be reduced subconsciously.
As a sidenote, my orders are here:

In case you are wondering, the amount is in USD and the free stuff are part of the free gifts provided by iherb.com. It's so much cheaper to order direct from the wholesaler than shops in Singapore who charged a premium for ordering. Some money saving tips here ;)
