Salary oh Salary



 Recently, I got my salary. And I do my calculation for the things that I need and must pay... and oh oh...it wasn't good at all. It hard to make the end comfortably. With the things I have to pay and things that I have to save and spend, the figure is really frightening.

Before this, this matter doesn't really scare me much, but this month, has been different. Maybe because starting this year, I will be starting to be 30, I begin to feel more responsibility and thinking more rationally. Ok, I think the biggest starting point was since last year, I do a lot of big expenses, like helping my parents house decorations and renovations, buying my first house  (yeahhh, I got my first house) and went for trips ...

I felt it was so exciting to actually have a trip. It widen my view of the world and it was so fun, engaging and entertaining that I will not mind to go again. But it cost money to go there even though many were saying that our trip is really cheap.Then I also found things are not easy to get without money... and money crucial, because almost everything cost money. 

So, I list out my ways of handling my money starting this year.These are ways to reduce my expense, not adding my money yet...

1.  No more online shopping for me. This month, I bought two items that I regret buying it. Huhuhuhu, even though it doesn't cost much, but if I save that money, it will be much more benefiting.

2. I like snacking while driving and as I drive a lot, I tend to snack every time I drive. Mind you, buying food at the petrol station really cost much.

3. For now, I will use whatever I have now. That means, stop shopping and use whatever the things I have. The thing is, I always seek something even though I have similar item or the old item can still be use, but still....

4. I have to be stingy ... well, I do not agree with the last point, but well...

What People Don’t Understand About Those Struggling with Low Self-Esteem

  Living with low self-esteem isn’t just a fleeting feeling of inadequacy—it’s a deep-rooted struggle that colors how someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. For those who don’t experience it, it can be hard to understand the invisible challenges faced by people grappling with low self-esteem. These struggles go far beyond occasional self-doubt and affect every facet of life, from relationships to careers and personal well-being. 1. The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that. It’s a battle against self-doubt that can paralyze decision-making and sap joy from achievements. For example, a compliment might feel insincere or undeserved because their inner critic is quick to dismiss it. “They’re just being polite,” th...

Living with Low Self-Esteem: How It Affects Life Even at 42

  I am 42 this year, and I recently discovered something that my friend warned me about years ago. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but now, I realize how right they were. They told me, “If you don’t work on your self-esteem while you’re young, it will affect your life later on.” Well, here I am, 42, living proof of how true that statement is. I’m someone who has struggled with low self-esteem for most of my life, and it still lingers, affecting me in ways that I never imagined when I was younger. It’s not just an abstract feeling that you can ignore—it shows up in the small, everyday moments and, unfortunately, in some of the bigger ones too. The Daily Struggles of Low Self-Esteem You might think low self-esteem is just about lacking confidence in social settings, but it’s deeper than that. It can impact your decisions, your relationships, and how you see your own worth. For me, this manifests in several ways: Overthinking : I replay conversations in my head, wonderin...
