“This is a way to relieve work pressure”
Going out to drink has also become a controversial topic. There is an opinion that this may be the hobby of some people, but it is also a way to work and make friends. However, it cannot be denied that young people are tending to spend more on drinking tables. It’s even more expensive than high-end seafood buffets.
However, should we limit or give up drinking altogether when it is clear that we can Save up to 50 million VND when no more drinking. We quickly contacted 3 young people to better understand this story.
– Nam Anh, 25 years old, currently working in the field of communication, monthly income ranges from 20-25 million VND.
– Xuan Bach, 29 years old, working in the audit industry, earning 30 million/month.
– Thuy Phuong, 23 years old, freelance.
When you’re happy, invite your friends to drink, this amount alone “consumes” 4-5 million/month
After work, except for the joy of being freed from work, are invitations to eat and drink. This story is probably no stranger to young people, especially office workers. Lack of KPI to drink to relieve sadness, receive rewards for excellently completing tasks this month, to eat and share joy, cold weather can also be an excuse to go out to drink together.
“Almost every week, I go out to drink, and when I come home from work, I’m happy to invite friends to the sidewalk bar to eat and drink beer, which is normal. Because it’s also popular, it’s about 300-400k, 2-3 times a week.”Nam Anh shared.
For Thuy Phuong, each time she goes out to drink, her friend will spend about 500k, and for friend Xuan Bach, this number falls to 1-2 million. Frequency is about 1-2 times/week. It can be said that all 3 of the interviewed friends are like “a week without drinking is not fun”.
“My work is quite stressful, so the weekend gathering is my way to relieve stress for myself to balance my life”. Many people probably sympathize with this thought of Xuan Bach. Besides, for Nam Anh, drinking is mainly about spending on desires. The friend shared that he quite liked going out to drink and get to know each other. The job also often has to run the deadline, then the KPI is quite pressured, drinking as a way to relieve stress. And of course, it must be worth it to allocate that much money for drinking, there is not much.
Drinking is how I expand “networking”
It’s both a relationship boost and a fun hobby. Xuan Bach often goes out drinking with his colleagues, so it can also be considered a form of network development in the company. “If I increase my income, I might increase my drinking expenses. However, it is not too important because I see that the popular pubs are enough to meet the needs.”
These days, surely we are no stranger to the idea of ”cup and cup” as a way for people to get acquainted and exchange in any relationship. In particular, in the relationship between colleagues, every time there is a new employee, often the whole room will invite each other to eat together to bond more. In today’s life, sometimes it’s almost like a culture that people who like to drink or not have to try to blend in. “In work, this is also an essential factor, but it is impossible to abuse the need to drink to discuss work. Drinking is only part of it.Thuy Phuong shared her views.
On the other hand, almost everyone has a lot of money to spend that is not included in the budget such as going out to drink, which seems to be a lot, but in total, it is unbelievably large. “I usually don’t notice the small expenses until they add up to have a startling effect. Because of work factors, I often travel by taxi and will be paid for by the company. However, because I thought that the number was not too large, I also ignored it. It was not until I worked with the accountant about this amount that it was close to the amount of money to buy an iPhone.”Xuan Bach shared
Having a lot of passion, Nam Anh also often has petty expenses, especially the guy who usually buys coffee at the shop every morning. Not Starbucks or famous brands, but also 30-40k/day. Nam Anh admits that he usually doesn’t pay much attention to these numbers. Moreover, the friend also thinks that these small expenses, like going out to drink, are worth it, as it can bring joy after a hard day’s work or an exciting start to the day.
Spending to drink is a mistake?
“It depends on the needs of each person. If it’s the nature of the job, it’s hard to cut back. If you go out to drink and discuss work, spend some money but can get another profit, of course still do it.”Thuy Phuong frankly shared her views when there were many comments criticizing that today’s youth eating and drinking is too wasteful. Along with small expenses, it is assumed that young people no longer have the habit of accumulating.
On the other hand, it can’t be denied that it’s true that nowadays there are some ingredients that are a bit too much in drinking, or abuse it as an excuse just to go out to drink. But it depends on each person’s needs and ability to pay. There are people who are willing to spend a lot of money on drinking, having fun, people can also make a lot of money. If there is supply, there will be demand. For a young person, spending for yourself is about rewarding yourself, making yourself happy, relaxing, and of course spending at a level you can afford.
Besides, when entering a major milestone in life as well as finance such as marriage, Xuan Bach thinks that she should start planning more carefully with drinking. “In the past, when I was still single and had no financial pressure, I didn’t feel the need to cut down on spending to save. However, now I also have plans to start a family in the near future, so I think cutting down on drinking is a necessary thing to both save money and be suitable for family life.”
Small expenses or drinking that are “too much” no longer depend on the percentage of their earnings that they have spent on this. Everyone’s income, interests, and needs are different. “I’m the type of person who enjoys, so I just need to ‘entertain’ effectively, I don’t think much about the rest.”Xuan Bach’s thoughts on drinking to satisfy personal pleasure.
