Hello, everyone!
I am Jerry, the author of this blog!
Here comes the expenses of May:
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: $924
I hanged out with my friends and colleagues three times this month, but the amount spent in this category is still low. It is because I counted the expenses towards the entertainment category.
Entertainments: $2275.6
There is no travelling this month so it is much lower than that of last month. However, it is still quite high because after watching Avengers 4, I spent quite a lot on their Marvel games. Also, I bought a new tablet($1199) for playing mobile games as a birthday present for myself.
Transportation: $418.7
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: $741
I bought a lot of personal care products for my family. They probably won't need me to buy again for the next few months.
Miscellaneous: $116
This is the phone bill.
TOTAL: $9975.3
Compared with that last month, the expenses this month is much lower. The saving rate is around 70%. I think this is almost the least amount I can live on. Of course, I can always spend less by downgrading my quality of life (e.g. not meeting with any friends, not buying myself birthday present, not spending on games, etc). However, I find these expenses necessary as life is not just about achieving financial freedom. It is also about finding happiness during the journey.
What about you? How much did you spend in May? Please let me know by commenting below! See you next time!
