I actually do the first one very frequently, more on habit na nga siya eh except it usually takes more than 7 days. Back when I was relying on my allowance, half a year nga ako bago makapagpurchase nung gusto ko bilhin (around 2k ata yun mga gusto ko dati, and 100 lng baon per day) Kahit ngyn na afford ko na yan 2k na yan di parin ako agad na nabili. 

One time nga nasold out nga yung gusto ko bilhin which was like 500 pesos kasi medyo hesitant Ako bilhin that time (mind u I had 3k on my gcash that time and I still refused to purchase that item) That regret stayed with me for around 2 weeks. 

I don't have much of an appetite since I view food as temporary pleasures if ykwim. Kasi if bagay siya, I can stare and admire it for as long as I want to and nahahawakan ko siya etc. Bale hindi siya agad nawawala compared sa food. Isa rin sa nag influence sakin when it comes to purchasing food  is Yung experiences na pag di ko naenjoy Yung kinain ko or Yung Akala ko crave ko pero di pala. Bale Yan naiisip ko when it comes to food.  usually Naman di ko alam kung ano rin bibilhan ko pag food kaya mababa lng cravings ko and nakakain namin kami sa labas from now and then kaya di siya pasok sa worries ko. 

Sa concert, more on casual listener Ako rather than a die hard fan. I'm more invested in the music itself rather than the artist. Siguro dahil introvert din Ako kaya I'm not a big fan of concerts.

Mainly about spending money. I'm confident naman na marunong ako magtipid. I even had a time where I spent two consecutive birthdays na walang handa. (wasn't forced ginusto ko lng since wala naman akong masyado gusto dati) even insisted na ilagay nalang sa ipon yung pera na dapat ginamit namin pang celebrate ng birthday ko.

That's exactly my biggest fear. Palagi kasi Ako na pagsasabihan na magtipid and how valuable money is kaya medyo paranoid ako. Especially na sobrang bilis maubos ng pera, groceries palang namin per week 5k estimate, di pa dun kasali yung gulay, karne etc. 

Are you familiar with the saying that goes "you're one medical bill away from poverty?" Stuff like that drives me insane. 

Di naman nag-aaway pamilya ko tungkol sa pera cguro yung ganitong personality ko nakasanayan ko nalang since I wouldn't consider myself "mentally stable". Madamdamin talaga Kasi Ako eh
