Love can often cloud our judgment, making us vulnerable to being taken advantage of by those we care for deeply. While it’s natural to want to please a partner, unchecked generosity can sometimes lead to significant financial strain.
This delicate balance between love and practicality came into sharp focus recently when an anonymous man shared his story online, revealing the extent of his financial sacrifice for his girlfriend’s hearty appetite.
Man left with RM150 after spending RM2.5k on GF’s monthly food expenses
The man confessed that he spends RM2,500 every month just on food for his girlfriend.
“I spend RM2,500 a month on food. By the end of the month, I’m left with just RM150. My girlfriend’s big appetite eats up my money fast. When I was single, I only ate once a day.”
This extravagant spending leaves him with only RM150 of his salary by the end of the month, causing him considerable stress and financial strain.
Reflecting on his single days, the man recalled a time when his food expenses were much lower, as he only ate once a day.
He noted that RM2,500 is a hefty sum, comparable to a full month’s salary for many people.
This revelation sparked a flurry of responses from netizens, many of whom urged him to reconsider his spending habits.
One netizen bluntly suggested, “Change your girlfriend.”
Another added, “She isn’t even your wife and not your responsibility to satisfy her extravagant tastes! Think about it, bro. Your finances are tight because you’re stingy with your siblings and parents, but you’re spending RM2.5k on someone who might not even be your future partner. That’s just foolish.”
A third chimed in, “The food expenses for me and my wife aren’t even this high, and we eat out almost every day.”
