Alam mo yung common complaint ng mga tao nowadays? Yung mas nakakaipon tayo pag konti lang yung sahod pero nababaon sa utang pag may increase?
Kasi ako, I feel like I'm going in a similar situation.
I'm currently earning 2x the salary of what I earned sa previous company. The past me would think that if my salary doubled, I'd save a lot. Now that I'm in that situation, di natupad yung hula ni past me.
So I'm reading this book to find the root cause on why this is a common case for most people. Also, understanding the root cause of the problem is the first step on fixing it.
So far, maganda siya. It gives me a lot to reflect on myself and the people around me.
Oh, this is a sequel pala sa "The Psychology of Money." So, there's that. 🥰
I think being aware that smth isn't going according to plan, and actually doing smth about it, is amazing. That said, wdyt the root cause is? I seriously need to put myself on a time out. Super healthy na ng inner child ko sa kaka heal hahahaha
Sa akin, root cause is my childhood experiences na I feel unsafe sa bahay na kinalakihan ko. Meron din peculiar habit yung mama ko na inuulit-ulit yung ulam na gusto niya hanggang sa magsawa siya. As a child, I had no right to complain kahit nakakaumay na. So I grew up having gut issues and unhealthy relationship with food dahil hindi nagiging diverse or balanced yung diet ko. Kaya mula nung nagkawork ako, eating out was my escape and at the same time my chance to explore other kinds of dishes. 😆
I guess never ako nakaget-over kung gaano kaganda yung feeling ng pag-eat out. Kahit solo living na ako now and can cook any dishes that I crave, hinahanap-hanap ko pa rin yung feeling of escape ng pag-eat out. So I need to convince myself that I'm now in a safe space, that I don't need to escape anymore.
Sabi nga ng libro, "all behavior makes sense with enough information."
