I have no car, cheap flat, no branded goods, several kids, still spend about 10-12k a month.
Mostly on food and groceries, 1.5k parent allowance, helper etc.
Quality food is expensive and one meal out with the family may cost 150-200. We also eat steak, seafood, sashimi very often at home.
Now close to 25k pm can finally start saving.

Nothing difficult about taking multiple loans

Maybe that's why he's asking? Perhaps he wants to do it without taking loans - which should be avoided as far as possible (maybe except for the home which is a necessary evil).

Finding it difficult. Hoping some peer can shed some light on how they manage their finance.
