The best way to do is to consider your priorities right now. My priorities maybe different from yours. But if you are going to ask me, I would focus on basic things like comfort at home with family, sufficient supply of food, and lastly, convenience on your trip to work. I would concentrate on these things and then I think of other activities. I would NEVER consider gutumin ang pamilya ko or for myself to be eating on a carenderia to save money just to satisfy my appetite for friday night life...That wouldn't work for me.
So, Enjoy the best with your family like having airconditioned rooms at home, eat hearty meal, and enjoy driving to work. In turn, CUT budget for clubbing, inuman, and other bisyo which would come last of the priorities.Or Cut shopping budget to half or something to this effect. I think you know what I'm trying to say..hehehe
Like what my mother always say:"In this crazy world, a hundred of things/problems/situations come rushing to you, all at the same time that need immediate attention, correct decision and prompt action. All you have to do is KNOW YOUR PRIORITIES and you'll get through life just fine"...I'm very glad I listened to her because so far, it has been working for me...
yung mga umaangal sa gastos usually ay guilty ng "Misplaced Priorities Syndrome". Di nila madiferentiate ang "needs" sa "wants".
