as a kid, we were not rich. i always wish i also had toys or those action figures of anime like in my late teens. But all i did back then was maintining my academic scholarship and did side gigs to fund my tuition fees.
When I got my first job, I bought anime figures of my favorite romcom anime. Its a niche being a guy buying female anime figures. I am sorry i dont have the time for love since i needed to focus on my studies.. People call me "mahilig sa manika" or said "i play barbie or might be closet gay". I told them they bought muscular men anime figures to display at their home so .
Going back, I did tried to go on water resorts and play arcade. They called me childish and rekless spender like i am some big shot earner.
But i give 57℅ of my savings to help my siblings tuition. I do tried those things just to know what it felt like when you have the money to huy those things.
Now I dont spend anythign just saving my salary, still my relatives and friends complain i dont enjoy life and just stay at home.
