October Spendings

Overspending!

This month, I spent more than 10,000 pesos.
I noticed I overspent and spoiled myself. I spent almost 6,000 pesos on food from Shopee, 500 on hair products and vitamins, and 3,000 on a round-trip flight to meet friends in La Union. Additionally, I spent around 5,000 in cash on personal items, though I can't recall all the details. My savings took a significant hit this month due to my spending.
Money certainly gives me freedom, but freedom without control can be a disadvantage.
I'm writing this down to fully understand and become more aware of my current spending habits, so I don't splurge all my savings in the coming days. While I spent this money on myself, it won’t be sustainable in the long run unless I have at least 10,000 pesos in passive income.
I still have a lot to figure out, but Elly, please don’t overspend next month!
