How much salary does it take in this day and age?

In this day and age...

Just living each day feels like spending more and more money.

Be it.

🏡 accommodation

💧⚡ water, electricity, net

🚗 Travel expenses

🍲 food.

📱. Phone bill.

In total, it's 20,000 + +.

It doesn't include self-care or storage. 🥺

What about your friends...

Is the salary enough? Or just enough? 💭

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การตั้งงบประมาณรายเดือนเป็นสิ่งสำคัญมาก เพราะค่าใช้จ่ายในยุคนี้สูงขึ้นแทบทุกด้าน ซึ่งในบทความได้ยกตัวอย่างค่าใช้จ่ายหลักๆ ว่า ค่าที่พักประมาณ 5,000 บาท ค่าน้ำ ค่าไฟ และอินเทอร์เน็ตประมาณ 3,000 บาท ค่าเดินทางราว 5,000 บาท ค่าอาหาร 9,000 บาท และค่าโทรศัพท์ 600 บาท รวมแล้วก็ตกเดือนละประมาณ 20,000+ บาท นี่ยังไม่รวมค่าดูแลตัวเองและเงินออมส่วนตัว จากนั้น ผมคิดว่าสำหรับคนที่ต้องการมีชีวิตที่ไม่ลำบากจนเกินไป ควรตั้งเป้าหมายเงินเดือนอย่างน้อยประมาณ 25,000 – 30,000 บาท เพื่อจะได้ครอบคลุมค่าใช้จ่ายทั้งหมด และมีเงินเหลือสำหรับออมและรายจ่ายที่ไม่คาดคิดบ้าง นอกจากนี้ สิ่งที่ผมเรียนรู้คือ การวางแผนการเงินและรู้จักปรับตัวกับสถานการณ์เศรษฐกิจ เช่น การลดค่าใช้จ่ายที่ไม่จำเป็น หรือเลือกวิธีเดินทางที่ประหยัดขึ้น เช่น การใช้ขนส่งสาธารณะหรือทำงานจากบ้าน บางคนยังเพิ่มรายได้เสริมเพื่อช่วยให้การเงินมั่นคงมากขึ้น ในเรื่องของเงินเดือน ความพอเพียงอาจต่างกันตามสภาพความเป็นอยู่และความต้องการส่วนบุคคล แต่การรู้จักจัดสรรงบประมาณและวางแผนล่วงหน้าเป็นสิ่งที่ช่วยให้เรารู้ว่าเงินเดือนที่มีอยู่จะพอใช้จริงหรือไม่ และจะต้องปรับตัวอย่างไรเพื่อความมั่นคงทางการเงินในอนาคต
