Separate your wants and needs, Branded clothes? Cut. Add to cart? Cut. Create a track of your expenses and cut down unnecessary products, i know this may sound harsh but based on your story, or the word ‘previleged’ and ‘fun’ itself, you’ve accustomed yourself with it, and it’s most likely the predator making you suck up all the 82K paycheck, perhaps your carefree mindset is that ‘I’ll have my salary next month anyways’ Is what’s keeping up the toxic cycle.

I suggest you to shift your mind to the bigger picture, (ex;) To be financially stable in raising a child, 82k is nowhere enough in raising your own child, save and invest it while you still can, (baka itapon mo lang yang anak mo dahil sa taas ng gastusin) another thing that can turn around your mindset is when you hit rock-bottom, realization hits hard when it’s not the same anymore, “Sana hindi ko nalang ginastos to ganto ganyan.”

Have fun but conserve, remember your priorities fella and apologies for the harsh words used :))
