Expenses that I can do without but still do them for their benefits
Big thanks to the hive-naija team for the love and support they showered upon me and other participants of their prompt. The year 2023 was amazing and you also have a part to play in it
One of their first prompt of the year caught my attention and I know I have just been allowed to express my mind.
What are those expenses in my life that I can do without but I still do
There are so many things that cost us money that we can do without as humans, some of those things do not exist at some point in our lives but now that we have gotten used to them, we get addicted to some while some are just going to have bad effect on our growth if we stop paying for them.
The number 1 on the list of expenses that I can do without but still do is Data, this is one of the things that consumes money from people in the world but somehow we always have the money to do it, we are addicted to buying data and that is because of the benefits and things we can do with it.
Every month, I subscribe to the Mtn monthly Data plan twice which costs me 16 000 naira for 75 gig and 37 gig extra bonus and since I do it twice, that is a total of 32 000 naira in a month.
I can do without data but the consequence is severe because that means I would have to stop all my online jobs including hive and focus on offline jobs that do not require data, I would also lose connection with my online friends and all communications would stop abruptly.
The damage that will be done is more than the 32,000 naira that I spend monthly so it is not just worth it, not sorry to say I will sub till I die!
The number 2 expense is a subscription to Netflix and Decoder, during leisure time, one of the things I use to keep my company is streaming movies on the Netflix app, it keeps me occupied, I do the basic plan which costs me only #1200, it is cheap and affordable but it also consumes data hence why data remains the number 1 of my expense.
I sub for the Gotv Decoder because of my fiancee, that is what keeps her entertained, I normally sub for the #3950 jolli plan, there are higher plans but I can't be spending 10, 000 Naira on GoTv sub every month in this Tinubu regime.
These subscriptions are what I can do without but I do them because they are important and make life easier and fun.
