What are the reasons behind my too much and unstoppable hustles?

Many of you, guys had noticed how eager I am upon doing my grinds. That despite of how hectic my day was for complying into my academic responsibilities, I will still allot an ample amount of my time for such side hustles. Regardless of the laziness kicking in, I'll stand up to do my part in crypto-blogging.

More so, I often get up by 3-5AM to start my day-to-day activity more earlier. Why? To be more productive and profitable. I won't let a day pass without me, earning.

So, what is my ultimate reason for this non-stop day-to-night work? Hmm, let's get to know more. ❤

I already shared for uncountable times that I am the "family's breadwinner." I had this role for being our parents' first born and also, for having the "brain (daw) and resourcefulness (pagiging madiskarte)."

How does it feels to be a breadwinner?

Listen and believe to what you were reading and watching in other social media platforms, to those breadwinners that you, we personally know. Most of all, to us, breadwinners who are sharing our own experiences to other people. Not to broadcast our tough situation but to extend some inspiration. To make it more shorter, "it's so difficult." Actually, there's no word/s that can define our sacrifices and efforts. Metaphorically speaking, it seems like we are also acting as a "parent" who're primarily responsible for providing the family's necessities. We may not be a real parent but most of the times? We do feel like it due to the heaviness to carry within our shoulders.

Monthly, I am allotting an unspecific amount of money to fulfill my budget. Like I kept saying since then, I shoulder the monthly grocery stocks and the house rent. But the question is, "how much is it?"

Grocery stocks.

Every month, I've been buying grocery supplies for 2-3 weeks consumption. From the toiletries to laundry essentials to dry and wet food supplies to personal needs, name it. As long as my budget can buy everything in the list or more than it, I will do so. And, I am doing this activity either on the first or second Sunday of each month.

My budget for this one is between PhP 2,000-2,500.00 ($38.07-47.58). If there was still some available supplies in the kitchen racks, I won't buy additional supply for the meantime. Para makatipid-tipid din~ in that case, I can have a lesser amount from my allotted money for spending.

House rent.

We moved out from Mama's family house by 12.21.2021 and it has been four months and two days since that day. For staying up in this house for this, we are enjoying the peace of mind away from Mama's siblings. Well, regardless of the rental fee. Haha!

Month after month, I am paying an amount of PhP 1, 800.00 or 34.26 USD to secure our means for a shelter. Hayst~ before, I am not thinking about this but aigooo. From living in our own house to renting out a house, real quick.

These are my top priorities, every month. Sort of, my responsibilities or goals to take care of. But that doesn't cover up everything coz the budget for my and my siblings' studies was not yet included.

These past few weeks, I've been doing a mini-grocery shopping. What for? For my sister's daily snacks as she's attending face-to-face classes since 03.21.2022. In there, I am allocating PhP 500.00 (9.52 USD) to purchase breads to chocolates to drinks. Well, that includes some other snacks for the whole family. Note that it's on a weekly basis~ but I'm planning to just do it every other week para 'di super magastos. Yah know, my source of income isn't for "forever." LOL!

To sum it up, I need to tightly secure an estimated amount of PhP 6,000 ($114.20) and more per month. And that is why I am aiming to accumulate 0.3 BCH and up here in read.cash~

So far, I'm doing good naman. As of now, I am on the road to 0.3 BCH. Hopefully, I could reach it on or before the month of April ends. Can I achieve it? I do hope so. *crossed fingers*
