35k pesos every month for clothes,shoes and etc???

[d`monyita]

well sis...IF I UNDERESTAND what you are SAYING....you can afford it since you are netting around 3T usd a month with the sweldo and the allowance...sus eh di go! spend! spend! spend!

but i still think you have a problem that you are masking.

as long as di ka mabaon sa utang at wala kang sinasaktan like your children's future.... my opinion is... who cares?

[lady_blackrose]

lemme guess you are using credit card to purchase the items sa? coz it's very typical nuon a girl/wowan can spend that much in a month.

if in cash maybe you are a daugther of a middle classed family there in the US or abroad, or a wife of a foreigner, or you are working one of the top companies in abroad.

advice regarding minimize spending?

hmmm, if you want to be in deep hell of debt and have sleepless nights, stress etc... sge padayun if di nimo carry ang lifestyle ane ang bati-on everyday then stop it.

you are not your stuff...the clothes, etc do not define who you are. have you seen yourself without the make up and those fancy clothes in front of the mirror?

kaw nag put sa mo self ana nga situation kaw ra pud ang maka kuha sa mo self to be out of it...

reading your replies mura sad na-a kaya mo hubby, aw kaw rasad nag-ingon ana basin i-divorce ka sa mo husband tungod ana mo gi-pamuhat... you know the possible out come man d-i ... the choice is yours.

i dont use credit card sis. i cant say if were middle class here in abroad but my hubby is a good husband...good supporter.just lucky we dont have kids pa.if theres a counselling for this...where should i go?i dont go out so much but like twice a month for clothes thats when i spend that much.but grocerries is weekly.

thats why i dont have even one credit card sis coz im so scared of utang...coz i cant control myself man gud. maglagot pa gale ko if i want something and my hubby wouldnt give so at the end of the day...palitan nalang ko niya para di ko saputon.mura lage daw ko bata...im so worried about this jud bitaw...worst pa jud if naa ko sa pinas.
ako lang is what if its gonna affect our relationship?should i go for a counsel?

im paid $25 an hour net.im a private nurse.not to mention my hubby's allowance for me. i just wanna know some tips to minimize spending...what u have to do if u have the needs to go out and shop?just like instead of cleaning the house...i told my hubby to sack his housekeepers and let me be the one to do. im the one doing it but i bought those irobots to do the cleaning.biyaan nako sa house while grocerries-shopping ko. i dont really tend to open up here coz im scared what people might say..i dont wanna be criticize..and so far my hubby didnt say too much about it pa but i dont wanna wait for the time that im gonna push him off the edge and he might divorce me after.patay.

gerl, u might be loaded by now...but sooner or later ....

I used to have monthly allowance from hubby in $$$$ aside from my monthly salary but I told him to stop giving me since I earned enough for myself & to my remittance to cebu with extra savings...but if I need money for branded stuff which I crave sometimes he'LL buy for me man sad but c'mon sis be realistic & practical... esp if ur married to foreigner... I suggest u make urself busy like me am working mom with 2 kids..naa sad baya ko stay in maid here but still i make myself busy with my kids...

ur from australia life there are not easy, I'ved seen my relatives work hard...some of them are nurse like u too...yes u hve reasonable income but housing expenses etc are very costly too...

u shud live within ur means...record ur expenses then remove some are not necessary.. think 2x before u purchase something...make a list of what u buy for groceries....

35K gamay ra gani na.. i have a friend gyud nga grabe maka gasto mo palit ug LV 3 times in a month each bag will cost 30 to 50K lately palit cya ug sunglass worth 28K.. pero naa hinoon cyay fafa. pero pag buwag nila sa iyang fafa wala napud cyay na tigom kay gastador man... ako ika advice nimo sis.. SAVE IT FOR RAINY DAYS...

kana imong 35K maka build naka ug house sa imong family dri sa pinas or maka pa eskwela ka sa imong mga relatives nag nag lisud.. just my 2 cents..

i grew up in cebu sis..and i used to help alot of street childrens in ramos. im sure that they still know me once i go back there pa nga cguro.
im planning to go councelling. ur right..35k alone just for my clothes.hubby's money is the grocerries and even my beauty maintanance siya pa. sakit kaya ni siya?

Morag korek ka sis, addicted ka sa shopping! Your and addict but not into drugs! lahi sad na imoha.

if maka uli ka sa Cebu sis pa counsel dire sa Sto Rosario church sa Kahupayan Center, kay naka meet na ko sa pari nga mo counsel diha, one time xa maoy na ka mass sa among chapel during sa misa de gallo.
Maau siya ug strategy padula-on ra ka niya then, makahibalo na xa unsa imong problema, iya mi gipakita sa inyang mga toys jud.....

I don't think I would spend that much money just on clothes, bags and shoes even if my salary is way over my current one. I would probably spend it on something else, but I'm just not a collector of clothes bags and shoes. I tend to only buy shoes when other pairs get too old; my purses and jewelries are all hand-me-downs from my mom; and clothes - they come and go and some of them even look better with age.

To answer the question, it's not typical considering the economy these days. I'm surprised you don't know that as you spent time here in the Philippines. But if it's your money, you can do whatever you like with it. If you're not spending beyond your means and not spending at the expense of family members but is still worried, then maybe it's time to do a little soul-search.
