<prompt> Human: Hey all, Im a student currently living in a dorm. I receive monthly pocket money from my parents to take care of my spending outside what the dorm covers, and I think the sum I receive is actually quite hefty. But truth be told, it has never been enough for me. Considering the fact that I manage to overspend it regularly, sometimes two times its extent, I really want to understand what Im doing wrong.My daily expenses tend to consist of: - Lunch if lunch the dorm offers is shitty more often than not: 5-10 liraslocal currency.- Travel expenses for going to various parts of town depends on whether I take the bus or a cab, as little 2-3 liras if bus and as much as 5-15 if cab.- Tea. Not more than 3 liras of worth per day.- Snacks. This is my big problem, honestly. I tend to get snacks throughout the day and dont check how much they tend to cost. May range from 3 to 10 liras per day, maybe more never really noted it down.Alongside daily spending, I also have less frequent transactions:- Drinking with friends age of drinking is 18 here can cost from 10 to 20-30 liras, depends on the amount drunk. No more than once a week, and even thats too frequent.- Grocerieshygiene stuff that usually cost 50 liras or more. No more than twice a month.-Phone credit, mostly so that I can have mobile internet. Costs around 30 liras a month is actually expensive as fuck.- Unexpected things like the need for a new pencil, new headphones, meetups with friends... Costs, well, unexpected amounts.Although I already tried calculating how much this makes me spend in a month, my calculations have been greatly inaccurate. How much do you guys think this is supposed to cost me? How can I lower it?  <response>: stop buying lunch if you are already offered a lunch in your dorms. stop taking cabs if there are busses. stop buying tea. Buy a box of tea bags and a mug and make your own. stop buying snacks from convinience stores. Buy a bunch of snacks with your groceries, and eat from there.
