value for money

Something strange happened today. I was speaking to a friend today and realised that people pay so much attention to where the money is going. For instance I live very nearby to my office and still I come by a personal auto and pay almost 50-60 rupees whereas I have friends who come by shared transport and pay only some 5 rupees. So I take out the difference it is, atleast 40*2=80 per day which comes out to atleast 1600 rupees in a month that I come to office for 20 days. Thats a lot of money. I need to focus to where my money goes as at the end of the day, a penny saved is penny earned. When the means are limited, you need to optimise for the best results..
