5 Reasons Why You’re Out Of Budget
It’s summer season again and when you looked at your wallet to check your vacation budget, it’s empty! You’re wondering why your cash suddenly disappeared in a blink of an eye, and now you’re reminded of these expenses you’ve had recently.
The Latest Blockbuster Movie
Beauty and the Beast is a movie not to be missed at the theaters. Even before it hit the cinemas, you and your friends had planned to see this film on the big screen. With stars like Emma Watson, Luke Evans and Dan Stevens, why would you let this one pass? It wouldn’t take much to pay 200 bucks. Though watching it on IMAX would be a splendid experience, you would be saying Bonjour anytime soon to your money.

While summer is best enjoyed with friends and families, it comes with a price. Sometimes, unplanned trips are more exciting than your planned ones. But these trips also require unplanned visits to the ATM stalls in the middle of the night. Whether or not you’re prepared for these things, you don’t have a choice but to go because your friends are spontaneous and you just don’t want to kill their good vibes. Rest assured that you’ll enjoy your time with them, but how will you satisfy your hunger afterwards?
Your Favorite Band’s Concert
When your favorite band decides to visit your country, it’s automatically your top priority. Your vow to not spend a dime for the week is long forgotten. Your will to attend a night of music madness is stronger than your conscience. Sacrifices will be made, debts will be added, and by the end of the day, you’ll still be happy. You’re only young once and everyone is entitled to live their lives and not regret it. Besides, you can always look for ways to earn money. Ask your parents, and they will probably support you.
BILLS
The end of the month is nearly approaching and your landlady will soon be collecting your payment for the rent. You’re suddenly faced with the realization that without your rent, you’ll be saving more. Now, you’re considering the offer of your folks to stay at home because it’s more practical, but then you also realized that living with them would mean less freedom. Because your independence matters the most, you have no choice but to stick with your landlady and give her the rent money. Adios precious cash! It was good having you even just for a little while.
That Item You Bought On Impulse
You’ve perfectly planned your Friday night – that is to go straight at home and sleep to your heart’s content. Then while you were taking your usual route to the mall, you’ve spotted Air Jordan’s latest motorsport! Or if the shoes don’t matter, you saw your favorite K-Pop album that probably costs more than what you typically spend in a week. The deal is – whatever item it may be – if your weakness is shopping, then you’re likely to go bankrupt. It shouldn’t be a problem if this habit is manageable, but if you have to go to an extent of freezing your credit card in a block of ice, then you definitely need help.
