I get around 54k every month in my account and I save close to 25k every month. I’m a fresher 2023 passout working as a SDE - Backend. My friends always wants me to go out with them every weekend to play badminton or to just chill. This costs me around Rs500-1000 every week. The thing is I don’t like going out plus I’ll be saving extra 2500Rs. Also, I’m focused on increasing my CTC currently.
How to ditch them every weekend? Or should I just stop being friends with them?
PS: I strongly believe in earning more and saving more, plus I like to keep my lifestyle inflation to the lowest.
Spending 2k on activities like badminton every month is worth the investment. If you said the same thing about drinking and going clubbing I'd probably say ditch it since saving this money matters to you a lot. Save 23k per month, you're on the right track. Don't lose friends right now it's a lot harder to make friends later.
I already hit the gym 5x times a week. Badminton is just a way to catchup with them. If I could convince them to meet biweekly Ig that’ll be better.
PS: also saving those extra 2k will make my monthly saving 27k.
Really confused what to optimise for friends or savings.
The 2k will hopefully be a good investment right now. It's important to save even 100 rupees but not when it's at the cost of minimum social viability. Consider this the bare minimum you will need to spend through your life on maintaining your social life.
Don't ditch good friends over money. They can be invaluable in life even when you don't have any.
You will need friends to increase that CTC actually. Referrals in companies
It's just me but I would rather play badminton with friends than spend money going to the gym.
I started my career getting 24k a month and could save half my salary in 2015, yet I never skimped on travelling or sports.
