EVEN WHEN I AM BROKE

We mostly classify our basic needs as food, clothing, and shelter, and of course,e they are, but they are also some things that are our basic needs in this century, for me, one of the things is data subscription.

In our forefather’s time, the internet was not something that people use regularly, in fact, it seemed less important in those days but in this era, the internet is something that is quite important, they are a lot of things that we need data subscriptions for.

No matter how broke I am, I still find money for data subscriptions even to the point that I can starve myself. Around me, there is no opportunity of being able to access or connect to wifi, in other words, you will scarcely see a place with free wifi, so for you to access the Internet, you need to buy data.

Now, when I say I buy data regardless of how broke I am, it doesn’t mean I buy an expensive one. Most times, when I am very very broke I buy #100 card which is the lowest amount you can buy, except you are buying it directly from the bank. When I buy this card, I always use the bonus given to me on the card for the day, which is very little I just used it to do some necessary that can’t wait.

But when it is night, I do night sub which is way cheaper than the day regular subscription. I tend to spend my night doing what I was supposed to do with my subscription in the day. So, at least in a day, I buy data.

I don’t usually know how I do it but I manage to buy data every day even if I don’t eat and I have data, I would not really feel hungry but when I don’t have data and I don’t have food, it is like my world is about to end hehe.

My phone is usually useless without a data subscription, it is no different from carrying a dead phone, 85% of the things I can do on my phone requires data, so tell me why I wouldn’t manage to buy data.

Even the game on my phone which is Candy Crush has gotten hard since I am at a high level, I usually just get bored of it. Sometimes, I use my food money to buy data and watch videos online or even download videos.

I use data not only for pleasure but also for business, education, and others. I think we can all agree that we need data on a daily basis.

Another thing that I buy no matter how broke I am is snacks, YES SNACKS! I am a lover of snacks, anything snacks count me in. I can literally spend my all money on snacks before I realized that I should have bought food.

Snacks are pleasing to my soul and to my mouth. Even if I don’t buy snacks I would make snacks. I know it is not a healthy habit but it is what I am used to.

The funny part about me is that I usually have like ‘seasonal snacks’. If I start buying a snack, there is no stopping until I find another snack that would defeat the former one, hehe. Right now, my snack on point is Beloxxi cream crackers.

These are the things I buy no matter how broke I am. What are yours?
