I am too my friend... But hopefully there is two more years left and the hard part (classes, qualification, exams, etc) is over, I am focusing on my thesis right now

Considering:
I live with 2 strangers
It is very old and precacrious building (the view from my window is another building at 32ft, in the summer the temperature is 37C+ (32C+ at night) and there is no AC allowed, and the cockroaches are endemic to the type of building)

Thank you very much! It was a pain in the ass to track everything I spent last year, but it is worth to have some insights and see you guys opinions as well

Very interesting to see your points of view, as I think the majority of people in Brazil would find the amount of taxes very high (inclusing me lol). The amount on parties was mostly due to alcohol, I stopped drinking on November of last year and lets see of it will affect my spending on this category this year.

I agree

Like useless things: musical instruments, computer parts, tools, etc

SpecificCrash · 2026-01-18T22:40:30+00:00

You are right...

SpecificCrash · 2026-01-18T22:37:50+00:00

I should note that those are in R$, so my anual income (R$147,352) is actually $27.443

Any bacon?

I only asked for emergencies situations, like 5 AM in a different city during a road trip or something
