Costs Men Pay In Life

These are the terms that men would usually use to make us feel better when we spend our money (especially when it comes in a large sum) .


Spending that can be managed



1. Gathering / Hanging out with buddies - Membership Fee

2. Dating - Investment

3. Marriage expenses - Down Payment (taken from long term money savings) of a Mortgage

4. Wife / Household money - Maintenance Fee

5. Remarriage - Remortgage

6. Kids - Single or multiple Mortgage with possible refunding (if they still love us when we're old)

7. Service taxes / Tips / Donations - Petty Cash / Social Responsibility

8. Income tax - Nationality, Security & Protection Fees (just like gangsters)

9. Properties / Real Estates / Shares / Funds - Shelter, Social Status Insurance & Money Investment

10. Parents - Loan Repayment

11. Transportation / Food / Grooming / Clothing / Health (medical checkups & food supplements) / Studies - Life Insurance & Self Maintenance

12. Hobby / Collections / Shopping / Gaming - Entertainment Fee (for self pleasure)

Unexpected spending (during emergencies)

13. Accident settlements / Health care (hospital) fees / Fines / Lawyer fees / Court fees / Bailouts - Insurance Fee, an unavoidable price to pay for being stupid. Shit happens when we avoid these!

Something that we might (& might not) get back

14. Tax Refunding / Subsidizes / Discounts / Freebies / Prizes / Gamble & Lottery winnings - Government's Dividend & Corporate Social Responsibility with God's Blessings

There might be mistakes on the usage of financial terms as the writer writes base on his understanding.

All in all, these costs are obligations which we bear in life.
