I don't give my parents allowance because they have money. Only stupid people have kids when they're poor af, I sure as hell won't get married and have kids unless I hit 10k / month with at least 750k in savings.

Food cost varies depending on whether I'm dieting or bulking for the year. Unlike morons I don't just eat whatever I want like a brainless monkey.

I adjust telco plans depending on situation. During COVID and WFH, no point having a monthly plan so swapped to sim only and paid like $20 7 months ago.

Looking to retire by 35.
