Blow Money

[LGV]

I think I need to learn having this. Gumrabe ako sa gastos recently feeling ko its a sickness na nga na hindi mo mapigilan. I thought mawawala to nung nagasawa ko pero baliktad pala lalo na after giving birth. Parang naging blow money na lahat good thing si hubby naman never asked though alam kong nakikita nya. I have to learn the art of budgeting na medjo alarming na for me. Yung reward yourself thingy na yan may achievement or wala parang naging defense mechanism ko na. Oh well will try hard!

My blow money used to be.... gasp, my whole salary I'm ashamed to admit this. Kaya when my previous employer and I parted ways suddenly, it was very shocking for me, financially-speaking. There was no savings at all. Everything went to shopping, dining out, etc. I was very young (btw, this was last year so I still am that young) and waaaay too brave to blow money on things I thought I needed. Right now it's a different story. Kung before ang dami kong gusto, ngayon parang hindi na nag-aappeal sa akin ang material things. So I plan to save as much as I can. In fact, parang motivated nga ako lalo to save and not spend. Now when I think of blow money, wala akong maisip na mapaglaanan kasi wala akong gustong bilhin at all, except siguro food and snacks. Aside from the consumables, nada.

Lesson learned talaga siya!

Ako basta meron 1k extra allowance every payout that I use to buy anything that I need. Matipid naman ako, madalas hindi ko nauubos or nagagastos.

My allowance for myself:
500 php food allowance
1000 whatever fund

1500 per week.

I realized I feel so burned out because I was pressured to replace the savings I borrowed from myself. As in baon everyday..tiis talaga:( I would get whatever my lunch was at home and bring it to work It was ehh..
that coupled with a lot of stress at work made me feel burned out.

Truthfully mas malaki pa ang blow money ko kesa sa savings. Napaisip tuloy ako.

I was unfamiliar with the term "blow money", kaya bastos kaagad ang pumasok sa isipan ko.   

But seriously, the concept of blow money should not exist among responsible people whose low, irregular incomes are not enough to cover even their most basic needs.
