what does it feel like to live on a salary of 1 million per month

1 million per month, right? Not even stuck at 1 million, more like 300k. I'm working on a year's contract and it will end in February/March next year, God willing. There's no need to brag about it and show it off here hehe, but I'm still grateful, thank God I have income for me who still lives at my parents' house and can still eat every day. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous now when I see friends' videos like 'July Dump', 'August Dump', 'September Dump', which really reminds me that I'm going to go back to unemployment soon, haha. So lately I've been thinking about what kind of business I want to do next. I have a lot on my mind but I'm afraid to try, so don't judge, hehe. After I graduated from college in September 2022, getting a job in February was a blessing for me. I was so complacent that in the first months of getting my salary/wages I was more inclined to waste money without calculating. I'm surprised when suddenly it's over, I really don't know myself, haha. Then I was determined to be more calculating but I still liked snacking like that. And I think, oh, I can't, I have to control it because I like to fantasize about myself even though I don't often snack on the old stuff, but it still ends quickly, wow, in the end, I just downloaded an application last month to spy on where the money I love is going, wow, this is what it looks like. Yes, I really feel like I'm being wasteful even though my snacks aren't expensive, so if I can control my waste, I'll write it like this in my wallet. Don't get confused with that 2k money, okay? There is also a photo of my partner who, God willing, will become my husband in the future, amen. As a reminder that I also need to save to help with the costs of a future wedding (my parents don't know about this). So, gess, I also have savings because my family sets a large dowry. It's a pity that everything is borne by him, but besides that, he also works hard. That's why I'm afraid of starting a business and I'll lose money and my savings will run out. So, if there is an invitation to a friend's wedding, I also slip the envelope so I don't touch it. Like this I'm the only one who still has a burden on my family and feels like I don't have enough money for 1 million 3 rts per month. Especially friends who live alone, everything costs themselves, for you, you are great. That's it for my first longest answer, sorry if it's inappropriate or complicated, hehe. Thank you for reading

Are you talking about dollars or is it another kind of money? We don´t use the dowry system in our country.

It will always depend on the expenses. But what is the currency that you are talking about?

It depends what kind of person is. If he or she can share or use his or her money wisely, then it would be great.
