/kon-se-kwen-siv/
Definition
(Adj.) A portmanteau of 'consequence' and 'expensive.' It describes an action, emotion, or situation that is both high-cost (draining to one’s energy, time, or mental health) and carries heavy, lasting consequences.
The Logic:
Consequen(ce): The fallout is heavy. You’ll be dealing with the results for a long time.
(Expen)sive: The "entry fee" is too high. It drains your peace of mind, your wallet, or your sanity right now.

Most things are either just expensive or just have consequences. But some things—like getting angry at a bad driver or dealing with the Makati commute—are consequensive. They drain your energy immediately (expensive), and then they ruin the rest of your day or your safety (consequence). It’s a double hit that’s just not worth the price.
