When Jeff started working, his parents taught us to live independently. We live in their old house with his sister while his parents live in the other house just at the back of ours. We buy our own food, we pay bills, as in lahat talaga kami na una pa lang. And I'm grateful they did that because we were able to learn how to become responsible parents to Soleil.
Thank God din talaga cos si Jeff yung binigay nya to be my husband, super responsible and understanding. Sya nagtuturo sakin kung pano magtipid, he always tells me that if I want something, I need to earn it. Hindi daw dapat basta bibili lang agad, dapat pinaghihirapan at dapat pinagiisipan ng mabuti. I must admit, mas magaling syang humawak ng pera kaysa saken. He gives me 24,000 monthly, I am not allowed to ask for extra incase naubos ko agad, kailangan tipirin ko and kailangan bayad lahat ng dapat bayaran. I made a list and I realized that he's giving me more than what I need and I still complain cos I thought it's not enough.
Sobra sobra pala binibigay saken ng asawa ko pero parang kulang pa din sa pagka gastadora ko. I read articles online on how to budget cos I really don't know how pero parang wa-epek pa din sakin. I'll buy groceries right after Jeff gave me money, ayoko kasi ng walang laman yung ref & grocery bin namin. And that's when I tend to go over my set budget, may listahan na ko ng bibilin ko sa supermarket pero pati yung wala sa list binibili ko. Plus everyday may mga gastos. Bad Iwee! Haaay! If you can give me some advice and tips please do so. I badly needed it.
I created a monthly utility bills and receipts envelope para namomonitor ko yung monthly expenses namin. It somehow helps me.
I'm trying my best talaga to be a practical wife. Kung ano lang ang budget hanggang dun lang. I'm including it to my prayers. No joke!
