I've Got To Cut Back On My Expenses... [WE 145]

I don't know if I should blame dad for this habit of mine or myself for learning it from him or letting myself go deep into this habit... I enjoy spending even on unnecessary things although I've become wiser to eliminate those. But I still have the habit of buying things a lot so long the opportunity presents itself especially when I'm out to get other important things, I could forgo an item to get them instead.

I don't think I've ever gone to the market or super stores to get items and never came back home with an item that isn't on my to-buy list and that is because I tend to spend once I have the money and I crave for something. It's a good habit but also a bad one for me. Good because I get to buy some things that are good for my health even though I used up am amount that would have been for something else but bad when I buy what I know would only cause me pain and lose of money later.

I've got to cut down on my junks expenses

I can't give a price tag to how much I've spent on sugary foods especially, and even though I won't say I'm an addict, I know for sure that I almost never come across something sweet and not spend to have some. I could leave a whole healthy meal that's cheaper for a more expensive sweeter junk meal, it's happened a good number of times especially when I was living alone at school. It is something I really wish to cut back on and I've been trying my best on that. I haven't succeeded yet because I still enjoy the satisfaction I get from enjoying them but I will definitely reduce the amount I spend on it.

I've got to cut down on my data expenses

I don't know if it's just me or others who love to download movies and be on Tiktok to see videos a lot, I could buy data on my phone more than normal just to see videos on Tiktok or Instagram and also wake up to download movies at night with more data expenses. Good thing I found Hive to use some of it on if not, I spent way too much on my data doing almost nothing beneficial aside laughing my heart out. Well, laughing is good for the body. I need to cut down on how I spend on data but it's going to be hard, that I know.

I've got to cut down on drugs expenses

This is definitely going to be hard but it's a wish I'd like for it to be granted somehow. For a long time now, I've had so many issues with my stomach and I can't give an amount for all the expenses I've made on drugs that I bought to stay well. What's annoying about this is the fact that most of these drugs I spent too much on never worked and I keep spending. I want to cut back on them but I also want to be normal like every other who hardly have stomach pains. I recently found out about another way to get the disorder off my system but it is more expenses but I'm hoping it wouldn't be a vain one again.

These are the three things I could think of that I'd like to cut back my expenses on if not totally.

I've spent on sugary foods

😂😂😂, I knew this would be the culprit.
I was expecting fries too but maybe you combined all of them as sugary foods right?

Well, laughing is good for the body

Was about to say this, thank God you know

Sorry about the stomach pains.... The wish will surely be granted someday.

Kick-starting the day with this😃

You’ve taken a step that deserves a big appreciation my friend. I can't stay away from junks and sometimes I don't even care about my money and spend it like a billionaire lol. I'm happy for you that you take such step. Good luck for more savings!

I guess we're twins on the junk part. I can't overlook junk food to save my life. I'd spend my last dime on it and won't bat an eyelash. I know it's wrong but....if it doesn't show on my body, what's the need?😂

But on the drugs part, I don't know how right it is to Suddenly cut on things you need for survival. It's better to buy and see that they aren't working than neglect your pains and be in for something worse.

I enjoyed reading this.🌺

Lol at least I'm not alone in that junk spending 😂 we need to cut down on it though, we have to somehow.

Yeah, I understand you dear and that's why I'm still trying but with the hope that I get to a stop with one and stay well.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

I need to cut down on how I spend on data but it's going to be hard, that I know.

I see meme like "if it's not for my data subscription, I should have a house in lekki😂. It's funny but it's true. Most people don't like doing monthly subscription but that's the best. Subscribe monthly,this way, one can be diligent with their usage.

Sorry about your tummy aches. I hope the method you found would work out✨

I understand you perfectly. I was like that for a long time: if I liked it and I had the money, I bought it, and it was usually to raise my glucose values. Sweets are something special, and sometimes just the smell of them makes you put your hands in your pocket. I wish you success with those aspects you mentioned @merit.ahama

I've got to cut down on my data expenses

This one right here is the most unsatisfying thing. I just made some calculations this morning and I got to realize that since the beginning of this month, I have spent money on data more than any other thing, even food. That’s very terrible!

So terrible 😂
And guess what! It's the hardest to cut down on because you can't bear to stay offline for too long

If one usually spends money on junk food, those cravings that one sees and wants, and with medications I understand you, I have to be buying for my pains, but well we must think that it is a priority, greetings.

There might be a connection between the sugary food, junk intake and the stomach problems. Just saying.

As a person, I don't like treating conditions with medications unless I am absolutely sure of it that there's no other way out.

So maybe try monitoring the food you eat and take note of you're stomach's reaction to them so you know which one to cut out.

Sorry about those 🤗

My dear, I've done all that
Mum is a nurse that doesn't like resulting to drugs for every unwellness so she suggested all other ways before I started taking drugs 🥲
