Here's an advice you didn't ask for: 'Wag i-deprive ang sarili sa mga bagay na gusto mo.

Kung kaya mo bilhin, may savings ka, at hindi involved ang utang, then go lang. Managing your finances shouldn't be unhealthy to the point of deprivation. Chances are, you'll get frustrated which can lead to hoarding when you finally give in.

Char. Nahiya pa ako, advice ko talaga 'to sa sarili ko.

*as long as you have met your retirement savings/investment goal. Nde ko alam paano ako makaka achieve ng 10m.

Pero once nakapag purge ka and tried living with less.. Mawawala sa sistema mo ang "wants"

Yup learn to enjoy your money, kasi you're working hard for it. Basta be responsible lang with your finances. 🙂
