How do you spend your earned money? Do you usually buy your wants more than your needs?
My wife's brother worked in a salon as a helper, while my brother works in our barangay. They have 6 children. All five are all students. They have a small place near our house.
Sometimes they have issues with money because my brother is a drunkard who waste their money buying liquor. And there are times their kids can't go to school because they don't have money.
Today is my brother's birthday. They prepared foods and went to the beach to celebrate. For me it's too extravagant. After this party, for sure they don't have money. They will going to eat salt again.

That is a sad thing. Then if they don't have money do they ask someone for a money? I think their practice is not a good one. My mom always tell us to be wise in spending money. She wants us to prioritize saving than spending. I can say that I mostly spend my money in books or enrolling in classes. But I think those are better than spending money in vices.

@JustBhem I do not like dealing with those kind of people. They eat more than they can chew.

Most of the time, I spend my money on my needs, or needs of my family. But there are also times when I treat myself, and my parents. Hihihi!

I hope so. They don't listen because they believe they did the right thing.

much of my restricted income is tied up in needs so very little for luxuries - I try to have a few cinema or bar visits and hoping to get away for Easter weekend otherwise it's all food, rent, bills, etc

it's so frustrating to have a family member like that because you feel sorry for the children and end up helping them again and again.
