Hello everyone!!!!
I hope so you all are fine and happy!!!!
I belong to a middle class family as i don't say I'm rich or I'm poor because I'm from a middle class. My Dad is an ordinary government school teacher and he has four daughters and no son. Our totally home finances depends on our Dad because he's the only person to support his family of six member's. Although his salary was normal but he gave us extra money to spend in school as every father do his best for his children's.

Just like other students we sister's don't get monthly pocket money but we get money to spend in school on daily basis and it's upon us how much money we take daily. Mostly we get twice in a day when go to school and in evening. And every time I asked from him.
My routine was similar in college and university. However with passing day's my expenses grows too. When I entered in university my dad said me to not to spend extra money with friends but If need more money I asked from mom and every time there's 1500 PKR which are almost 5$ in my bag because if suddenly i need to go to any restaurant I've money in my wallet too.
I've no control on my finances!!!!
I can't say that it's my parents fault that they didn't gave me monthly pocket money like other parents did and I also learn to manage finances in student life. I also can't blame to my school and university teacher who didn't teach me to manage finances.
I think school or university can't teach us to manage finances because in school or university every kind of people are and they belong to different families who's expenses are varied from student to students. And manage finances is the thing which life taught us.
How I learned to manage finances???
After graduation, i start my job as a teacher and i stopped from asking money from my Dad because I don't want to ask money from him. And every month I got my salary and I noticed how much money I spent on different things which aren't necessary. As I'm used to spend extra money and I can't control on it since my childhood so it's not easy to manage finances.
Besides my school job, I start to search about online jobs so that I easily spend money just like i spent in that time when I asked from my Dad. I started online job as passive income too but then I started to realize that everyone save money for it's future and spend money wisely and I also start to save money.
I still working on hive and earn few hive too every month but believe me I never take withdrawal from hive because I learned to manage finances and there's no need to withdrawal money from it because I've my offline job too which provides me enough money to spend.
That's all for today and it's my entry in this week hive learner contest in #hl-exclusive for the topic #hl-w176e2.
