Polished transcript:

Male Female

I've had the opportunity to change from so many negative habits, such as my laziness and lack of motivation. But for today, I'll be speaking about my habit of spending unnecessarily. I've always been someone who spent money on things I didn't really need. I would buy things I couldn't even use. I noticed this was making me overspend and go over budget. Then something significant happened that changed everything. I lost my dad on September 24th, 2000. This event completely changed my life. Most of the money I used to spend came from my parents, especially my dad. He used to give me almost 80% of my monthly expenses. When I lost him, it made me realize I couldn't continue living the way I had been. I quickly started changing my lifestyle and became more conscious of my spending habits. Now I'm happy because I can plan my life and budget without having to borrow money from anyone. I can now buy things I truly need because I know the money I have is only enough for essential items. I don't just buy things for the sake of buying anymore. I only buy what I need. I'm happy because I can stick to my budget. I don't have to borrow money, and this has given me so much peace. I can sleep without worrying about someone coming to ask me for money that I owe them. My mom is particularly happy about this because I don't have to ask her for money, and I don't have to pressure my siblings to give me money either. This positive change in my life is so pleasing, and I'm happy with it.
