Now going out twice a week and you normal groceries at home gets you close to 100k. You have not even bought any clothing and not had a long overseas holiday either. If you say you dont need all that , you are right but then you not comparing your living standard to living in a first world country !!!
15k for long weekend holidays to SE Asia every month?
Pretty sure your friends back in your home country aren’t living with that sort of exuberance nor have the rostering to be able to do so. 40k a month on groceries and eating out? Maybe you should sort out your budgeting if that is how you are living. You are living better than 99% of people
in first world countries.
