Money Burns Pockets: What?!?

Whenever I am paying our bills, apartment rental, etc., it burns my pocket. It was like a faucet that drains water so easily. Unexpectedly, my mobile phone gave in this week, and I need to purchase a new one, either tomorrow or Friday. The mere fact is that I cannot delay this matter because it is needed. Are you feeling me with this matter? Image Credit: thumbs.dreamstime.com

I am glad that you can relate to this concern. I hope the typhoon stops bothering us. In this way, I can earn more than before.

Absolutely! You never know when money will come out of your pocket, you just know it will. I hope you get a good deal on your new phone.

I got a brochure yesterday. I am hoping the mobile phone that I chose will be so handy for me. It has been two days that I am not on live in Bigo Live.

@Shavkat Well, that's awesome! How long does it take to reach payout? And what do you stream there? Videogames?

Usually wen they say money is burning a hole in the pocket it means you have money and you are dying to spend it on something.

Some people do indeed think that way. I guess I am thinking the other way around. In my country, some old folks think that they have a hole in their pockets and lost their money unnoticeably.

I bought my new phone today. It means that I have a new toy to explore later after work. It is proven that it is one of our basic needs these days.

I can relate with you. If I am going to check my savings, I cannot think the accrued expenses.

@Shavkat we should have a chart where we make notes about our money, what we earn and the expenses.

Most definitely. Everything has gone up and some things you just have to replace. In my country it has been increased due to my government's policies. Rent and housing has gone up due to competition from migrants being brought in illegally from other countries. Groceries, electronics (PC's have really gone up), clothing and gasoline I have to budget for, depriving me of maybe going out to dinner or on a vacation. Why? Because my country stopped the production of oil used in many products we buy not just gas. I'm praying for a mild winter again because if not, my heating bills will be sky high. Inflationary prices are killing me! Good luck on getting a phone.

I can relate to your situation. It is also the same thing here. All the commodities are still fluctuating in reference to their prices. There are so many things to be adjusted financially.

Yes, I am with you! I get all excited for payday until I realise that there is nothing left the day after payday once the bills are paid!

Do not keep your money in your pocket but in the bank It will generate interest

Expenses are always going to be there . But if your income sources are great and you have a good income from all available sources, then you will barely notice your expenses as burning pockets. However, you need to see if you could optimize your expenses wherever possible so that unwanted expenses can be avoided. If we are careful electricity and water bills can be optimized to whatever bare minimum needed. And expenses are always there to burn pockets , so ensure you have big pockets so that burn does not go deep down.

Indeed. I am trying my best cut down the expenses. In this way, I cannot experience the burning moment of my pocket.
