Hello, everyone!
I am Jerry, the author of this blog!
Here comes the expenses of April:
Money for parents: $5500
This is the money I gave to my parents every month. If you are a foreigner, you may find it strange. Yet, this is a common practice in Hong Kong or some other Asian countries.
Food& Beverages: $942.25
I hanged out with my friends and colleagues twice this month, but the amount spent in this category is still low. It is because I count the money spent during travel into the entertainment category.
Entertainments: $10213.14
I put all the expenses during the trip to Phu Quoc in Vietnam with my girlfriend under this category. It seems a lot but in fact it is the expenses of two people. (Yes, I paid for her expenses.) Therefore, the amount doesn't surprise me much. I also bought some birthday presents for her.
Transportation: $459.4
This is about my average. Yet, the actual amount will be less since the HK government is now subsidising our transportation fee for around $20-30 dollars per month depending on your amount.
Household products: $97.9
I bought mosquitoes repellent and sunblock for the trip.
Miscellaneous: $324
This includes haircut, lottery tickets and some small stuff.
TOTAL: $17536.69
I spent quite a lot this month because of the trip. The saving rate is around 50% this month. Even though I wish I could save more this month, I did not regret the trip. After all, money is just a tool. Happiness is the ultimate goal. This trip created many memories for me and my girlfriend. It is worth the price.
What about you? How much did you spend last month? Please let me know by commenting below! See you next time!
