How much is your total expenditure for the year 2023?

[Rathcycle]

How is that possible? You draw on your savings?

I don't work. Haven't worked in 5 years.
I will just say that i do alot of speculation, and I gamble very hard. I can be very thrifty at a certain periods and generous af at certain periods. I also have expensive hobbies but somehow lucky enough to always have the means to enjoy.

Im not actively tracking but off top of my head from highest to lowest.

Allowances for parents- 20% of my take home from from my day job and property agent side (varies because property agent gig is like that one)

Household expenses for both Sinkieland and Malaysia house (utilities, tax, groceries, zhapalang,)- 4k/month like that earlier in 2023 when I attempted to try and keep track.
Kids not so much because they are grown. But I give currently 400$ per month each (if they want to go out with friends need more will tell me and I give) so ->800$ per month

Food cost for me- daily at least 100$, 150$ at the highest point. Average to 3.5k/ month bah

Toy collection- 1k to 2k/ month
Other hobbies (lawn work, 3d printing, gym)- less than 1k

Social cost like drinking, entertaining friend- conservatively a bit less than 1k/ month.


For charity wise.

I don't donate to any charitable org in Sinkapore. But I donate 800usd monthly (my overseas account) to an animal shelter in the states called "hope for paws". So around 1k/ month.

I am also giving money directly to some people I know who are going through a hard time. That varies too.

My food cost after tracking for a week for year 2024 increase to at least 120$ per day in sinkapore after gst increase Liao.

My grabfood 1mth 2k+
Different ppty fees alr 1k+ a month.
Got a car and a bike that I don't drive nor ride much.
Entertainment for single men ish welly expensive in sg. 1 night ktv or lounge 1k gone, hope these nights are no more. Don't even start talking about degenerate gambling.
This ish a sad thread, too much reminder of how I keep making the wrong life choices.

The more sad it is, the more you need to face it.

This thread will help you to face the problem directly and reflect on yourself.

Than you can draw a lesson from a bitter experience

Bro as long I'm into lifting for strength I need the food. You saw my gpgt picktures so know how I look right?


It's not really an option at this point because if I don't eat every 4 hours while I'm awake. My body will feel very unhappy and let me know .
If I skip a meal when I burp I can feel acid taste in my tongue.
So not anytime soon
