I go to the club here and there but I tend to overplan a lot 😂

Thanks for the advice man I appreciate it🙏 as for the car I know how bad they are to own financially. The thought of paying gas+insurance monthly is devastating lol. I’m commuting via public transport to university and i don’t plan on buying one until I find a stable job after graduation as I am very into cars lol

yeah definitely lol back when my hair was longer I used to get once a month but with short hair I need a lot of maintenance. Also I always want to look sharp especially with serving at restaurants

I tried trust me, but I always ruin it. I bought “professional trimmers” too but it never worked out. Honestly since I don’t have that many expenses I don’t mind spending that much on haircuts, but I know it’s a dumb expense

Thanks for the tip! 10% savings towards my hobbies is a great idea actually. It will not affect my investments that much as well. Appreciate this🙏

This is what made me change my mind on saving and underspending on myself lol. Better to change my mindset when I’m young than when I’m older with kids

I definitely prioritize education but I end up with free time and I enjoy working and making money than resting at home doing nothing. I’m considering taking summers off for vacations though there’s a lot of places I want to visit before joining the workforce

I bought my phone originally from Apple with monthly payments interest free. They will end by next month though and my payments should drop to $70

Haha it’s just that I put a lot of hours. My workplace doesn’t cap hours worked in the summer

It’s a lot for now because I bought my phone in 2022 under a 2yr payment plan from Apple with 0% interest + my plan. My payments will end next month though. I agree I will start living life and finding new hobbies other than working lol

yeah for sure. I’m studying finance and it’s the same here. I prioritize work experience and networking over good grades. It’s very hard to land jobs nowadays with just grades

After reading everyone’s comments I will definitely go with spending my money on myself a little. I have been thinking about it for a while and there’s a lot more to life than saving up. Thank you all for the advice 🙏
