Am i spending too much or its just the economy?

Work & Professional Growth

Problem/Goal: I always had problems with money. Not that it isn't enought. I have a problem with spending, either im to much of a cheap stake or mala anak ni henry sy kung gumastos and never in between.

Context: I had my first Job. So far 3 months na kong nagwowork and my pay is 30k naminus na tax diyan/ss/philhealth. Compare sa mga friends ko from college, I slightly have better pay, considering our line of work is known for its poor. However, parang bula lang nauubos. I still live with my parents. I only pay them 6k-7k a month for rent, i do not contribute sa ffod/groceries.Ang pinakamalaking expenses ko aside diyan ay pag grocery ko ng healthy foods.

Attempt: I tried budgeting and even doing the excel thingy. And the thing is, it doesn't seem like my spending is absurd if im going to look at the list of expenses one by one.

30k x 3 months = 90k... but rn all i have left is 20k+....

LIKE WTF??? is this normal??? Am i spending too much or sadyang mataas ang inflation. Please slap me with a hard truth
