Are you on a budget?
Everything has an alloted amount, just this, don't go that much.
Not just.because.of my work that i get into this "plans", but maybe i was influenced by our father.
One of the things i should be happy and proud with, though the.nose.and forehead part are, well.
If i would make a pie and see.how i spent.my salary on each need, food(coffee included) would take half.
Going hungry is something i am avoiding.
The rest.50% will be on toiletries, savings, fare and bills.
No clothing allowance.
I haven't bought clothes for the last 3 years. Not even jeans, i have some fix and adjustments, to have those out of.style ones. My siblings always gave me.when they are here.for.vacation(pasalubong), even shoes.
If i go.over spending, i adjust.some.
My earnings here are.for emergency.
Are you.on budget.too?

I spent my money during my trip before the start of the class. Now, the only money I have now in my piggy bank is the money from my Paypal. I have my full time job offline and I give my salary there --all to my mom. She is the one who budget my money. As for the money I spend for myself, I get it from my part time job and Mylot.

@Marty1 Your sister acts as your mom? Some of my colleagues and friends could not believe that I give all my money to my mom. They think I am old enough to handle it on my own. They think it is weird but I am okay with it.

As a salaried person, my family runs on correct budgeting. Without proper budget everything goes bad.

I spend on travelling and investment.
If I have to choose, I will rather eat bread everyday so that I have money for investment.
I cannot describe to you the kind of "high" I get when i find a great investment.
It is really heavenly to find and then to buy.

I'm not on a budget but my son has more than enough to survive the rest of his life just in case both his parents die tomorrow.

@Lucky15 but most of the time, I spend my money on food and for my travels... I don't buy clothes that often, too.
