Watch what you say

Gosh.. How many reminders does it take for me to remind myself not to say things without thinking through them first!

Today while on the train I told my wife "I think I'm gonna trade in my faulty iPhone4 for another phone". 

Wife: "why don't you repair it first to get a better trade in price?"

Me: "but it's an iPhone 4.. The repair fee is most probably gonna be the same as the trade in fee"

Wife: "have you check what is the repair fee?"

Me: "nope...."

Wife: "then u should do your homework first before making such sweeping statements!"

.......

Sometimes... If not... Most of the time.. I must watch what I say. While I meant it as a casual remark, diff. People will interpret it differently. And also... My credibility is long gone as I never really did any homework for anything in the past. 

I must learn to do more homework, plan my things better (finances and time) and learn to say the right things at the right time!
