@ShielaGanda 21 May 2021 more from that month

Little piece of my hard budgeting days. When I was still studying, my parents used to give me monthly allowances. That time, I don't usually write down my expenses. I just know how much I can budget for my everyday fare, food, projects in school, contributions in school, and so on. There are times that when I run out of budget, I borrow money from my classmates. Thankfully, I have my classmates who lend their money, and when they don't have as well, I lend them too. It's a vice versa relationship we had back then. This was how I survived my college days until I graduated and had my own work. There were also times that I borrowed from my sisters and my brother or other relatives. Let's travel to 2019, half of this year was one of the hardest of my life. I was scammed, I was full of debts, I was stressed and frustrated. I don't have that much of a big debt but it made me think everyday. I was so problematic that time. But thankfully, before the year ended, my loans/ debts were paid. I worked so hard to earn more money. I became stingy to myself just to save more. So, I learned how to save and budget more from this experience. Stepping up to 2021, I appreciate myself from working hard. I feel more relaxed now that I have paid my loans. I also want to enjoy my salary. So next week, I will again go to the province. I want to feel the life I wanted. I feel tired and exhausted from overworking myself. Hehe. So that's my story. I'm always thankful to everyone and especially to our dear God. I feel blessed. You're blessed too. :-) Share how you overcame your money struggles too. Thank you. :-)
