The only stuff I spend money on is makeup, skin care products, and other people. My younger sister spends all her money on clothes so I just go shopping in her closet. I'm a daddy's girl so my dad still pays for my phone bill. I sew so I make my own skirts and dresses for me and my sisters and mom. I cook food and pack my own lunch. If I spend even 5 dollars on outside food I get upset with myself. I still have money saved from 4 summers ago. It helps me out so much being money conscious because i'm able to help my parents or family back home when they need it but I feel like I'm always debating over making memories or saving money. I have lost friends because I never want to go out. Two summers ago my friends and cousin went to Italy and they had so much fun I still see pics till this day and regret not going. I didn't go to prom because I wanted to save (Although I don't regret it now because it's haram).
I use to have a reputation of being the kindest in the house now I think it's stingy. Everyone knows I have money so my siblings always want to borrow money from me and I use to always give them but I don't do it that much now or I only let them borrow because it's not fair. You go out with friends, go on trips all the time, go shopping etc and I sacrifice that to save money just for me to lose that money while you reap all the benefits. I give my sister money all the time. Last week I gave her 500 because she said her bank account was in the negatives. Last month I gave her 3,000 because she didn't have enough for school. She always says she will own me back but once I ask her for the money back she says I'm stingy and xasid so I just drop it. She probably owes me 15k in total The biggest mistake I ever made was in grade 12. I applied to every single scholarship I came across from grade 11 to 12 and when I was almost done 12th grade I made an instagram post with all my scholarships and how I was able to get so much money in scholarships. I put the exact amount too. I was really happy with my hard work but that was the dumbest thing I ever did. Since then every person I came across needs financial help. My biggest regret till this day is telling people about my finances including family.
Wallahi money comes and goes. We are are going to return back to Allah with nothing so I'm trying to make up for lost time right now and just enjoy myself but it's hard. Jimce wanaagsan and Thank you for reading this. May Allah fulfill all your halal dreams and desires.
