Well, i also take care of myself and this is why I tend to work a lot during different times of the day. The strain is quite high, but I still manage things.
LoL if we don't pay ourselves who will. So we do the needful for ourselves
The one exception I make to that rule, is I pay my FUTURE SELF first. I depositing my earnings into an account that earns Daily Compound Interest I will have plenty of funds to do whatever I desire next year, instead of spending it all today having a little fun

We need to also make ourselves happy. Last Christmas, I spent thousands on my family and was late to realize that I have not bought something decent for myself. That was so disgusting. But I was thankful, my niece gifted me 2 Levis pants bought from SM. I only had bought a UV umbrella
This is so me I sometimes feel cheated I focus so much on family and forget my needs but it all good that we make others smile though.We need to also make ourselves happy.

There is no choice, it's love that lets us extend our patience to our family. It is sacrificial love. Sometimes I am not feeling happy paying alone a thousand bills hehehe.
Yeah what else can we do than to see those beautiful smiles I just like to have happy people around me so I try to make them happy.

Yes, our conscience will also torture us if we are selfish to our beloved family. They are the source of our strength and happiness.
Exactly that's why I can't resist it. I just have to create a balance maybe ikr like 2 for them then 1 for me.

That is so good, to also have something for yourself. Life is so hard this time no matter how big our salaries are.There are taxes to be paid and the forever bills.
Lol at forever bills, yesh that's why money must be made daily I'm glad that I'm enjoying what I'm doing so that I can make money daily.
Rewarding yourself is always very important. You need to pay yourself for your work done and you can also take care of your family if you have.
It is very important to take care of yourself with the money that you are making. It should be you first before any other personWe work hard so we have to pay ourselves first, though I do not know if you are sold out with this idea. I got this idea from the mindset of the Americans though I cannot generalize that all of them are doing this to pay the self first. What I mean in this line is after we received our salary, instead of thinking to buy others or have fun with others through bonding and have a drinking spree, instead, give favor to ourselves. What must we do? Buy something you like to buy, say for example a new dress, new shoes, or a new watch or cellular phone. Others are thinking about what to buy for someone in the family like a new cellular phone without sensing your phone is almost 8 years old
I usually see others never care about themselves. Those ladies for example forgot to fic themselves, instead of going to the saloon to fix their hair, they go instead to a friend and bring something for that friend, what for? To let that friend remain loyal to you so you sacrifice? In me, it is not good, better to spend the money on yourself by going to the cinema to relax with your husband or kid. Let us pay ourselves first and feel the happiness or see how the self reacts to a new you. What can you say, guys? Is this a selfish action?

That is what I am doing to pay myself first. It is not easy to work then there is nothing for the self. It is not right for me.

Don't starve yourself. That's our purpose why work hard to skip hunger. Pay yourself first. Never be starved again.You might get sick.
Unfortunately, there comes a time when people have to become really stingy in order to save money. Economy is quite bad.
