The salary I get by the end of the month is finely
calculated and split. There are times when a meager salary cannot make a day
stay in the account. It’s good it doesn’t occupy a space in the bank. By the
end of the month, the credit would amount to nu. 10000/- or more leaving still
in debt. I hardly get nu. 13,0000/-. This is how my money splits in a month.
1.
House rent: nu. 2,500/-
2.
TV bill: nu. 300/-
3.
Electric bill: nu. 100/- plus
4.
Car petrol: nu. 1,500/- or more depending on the
emergency
5.
School collection: nu. 500/- or sometimes it
amounts to more than 1000/-
6. A miscellaneous donation like religious purpose:
nu. 300/-
7.
Visiting sick people: nu. 300/- or more
8.
Visiting relatives: nu.300 or more
9.
Veggies, rice; foodings: nu. 3000/-
10.
For a child: nu. 200/-
Total=10,000/-
The salary I get now is nu. 13,314/- after a heavy loan
deduction. The meager salary is not really enough. The expenditure escalates
more than what I receive sometimes. We don’t have any money left for holidaying
or such extra income for any kind of family trip.

I really feel that teachers and doctors/hospital staff have
to be paid handsomely because services like teachers are ‘sitting penniless on
a beach job’; no TA/DA, no training, no outside tour, no nothing. Only a dry
and meager monthly salary. I hardly know how to fill up TA/DA. I sometimes fail to say what TA/DA stands for.
