So I do expect myself to spend some, etc.. with honesty. Kasi ayan pleasure ko sa buhay, to grow. Yoi cannot stop me from seeking pleasure frkm thqt. I like ti see changes, realizations, etc..
I think I spent alot last year. Kasi whenever I am looking for ways to grow and improve (which is an investment for myself), I would spend cash for it. For example, I am pursuing an "eco friendly, sustainable" self improvement project. I literally replaced everything I own to something thats reusable, thrifty, frugal, eco friendly and my dear -- THAT COSTS SOMETHING. Peor its aligned to my values and I dont feel pain for earth. Whenever ai go againsr my project or growth venture, or values, it pains my heart bec I feel lik ai am hurting earth, line when I wasstill a vegan, I am hurting animals.
Oh no, my yearly Christmas gifts isn't negotiable. Ayoko islip out to sa budget ko kasi this is what I only shop for. I do not always visit people or keep up with them kasi busy ako sa buhay ko, sarili ko, problems ko, lkfe ko, happiness ko, pero if they need me, pipunta naman ako pero I do not always initiate outings with them or staying in with them. So to make up, I buy my family christmas gifts every year and some extra things with effort. Ayan lang pinapagkagastusan ko. I have familyrin sa fatherside and I love my family in there. So yeah, I am assessing my finaces oerp there are ceetain aspecrs I am never taking off such as: buying gifts fkr my family.
