Usapang Pera

Talk about things other than video games. What are your other hobbies? What's your favorite TV show? Are you into sports. Any recommended restaurants? Do you travel?

Nawala yung thread naten na Usapang Pera...Pero dito ko na lang ilalagay ito...

A year ago i shared this piece on this very thread...Na challenge ako..So i duly began saving up 200 each week until December 2016...Fast forward to present month, here i am, nabuo ko na yung PHP10,200 (i chose to save 200 each week), and sumobra pa ng 400...

Image

Madami nagtatanong sa akin (since i am a toy collector) & marami din nagbubuyo na "hu, bibili ka lang ng Transformer or action figure na mahal eh"...Hindi ko pinapansin mga yun...All i know is i am dead serious about this & this whole damn thing is for my 2 sons...

So here i am, nabuo ko na yung "start-up" funds ng 2 boys ko...Each of my boys will get 5,3k each & i will open up their bank accounts before the end of the year...Masaya mag ipon lalo na kapag na cha-challenge ka...

I can't wait for Peso Sense (from FB) to come up with another one like this for 2017...

Para sa mga mahilig mamili kapag sale lalo na mga digital goods.

No one is saving money by buying on impulse. Ever.

^narealize ko din to nung nasa abroad ko. I never buy something on impulse. Pinag iisipan at pinag iipunan ko muna maigi ang isang bagay bago ko bilhin. And if I were to buy something, I make sure mas malaki ang matitira kesa sa magagastos ko.

may trip akong gawin. ipon ako 20 + 50 + 100 + 200 + 500 + 1000 bills per week

ang hindrance eh yung 200 bills. bibihira lang. so i-total na lang into 1870 :sweat:

since mahirap din naman yung ginagawa ko na pipila bangko every week

kaya gagawin ko na lang every month. 1870 x 52 / 12 = 8103.33

parang sweldo na rin ng isang minimum wage earner. :sweat:

pero kung gagawin ko naman every 4 weeks 1870 x 4 = 7480

sige na nga 3k na lang every kinsenas para 6k na lang every month :lol:

Simula January 2017 i'll start writing my expenses again...Dati i used to keep a small notebook detailing magkano nagastos ko that day, sa pamasahe, food, miscellaneous,etc..Hindi na ako namomroblema sa pamasahe (since i just work at home) although meron times na kailangan talaga makalabas...

ako i just keep a mental note lang of my expenses. Halos pareho lang naman ang pinagkakagastusan ko buwan buwan so tantyado ko na rin. Once makuha ko sahod ko, bangko kagad ang direcho ng majority na yun so maiiwan sa kin disposable income na lang. Yun ngayon ang winawaldas ko until next sahod. Good thing I'm just at home, walang gastos sa pamasahe at ibang bagay. Ang tanging lumilihis lang sa ipon ko is pag trip ko bumili ng games pero bihira lang naman din yun.

hinding hindi na ako gagamit ng credit cards pag may bibilhin ako sa mga malls. lagi na lang akong nagugulat sa mga bills ko. :facepalm:

akala ko konti lang ginagastos ko pero madami dami pala. hindi ko kasi ramdam di tulad ng maglalabas ka ng physical cash. akala ko mas magiging matipid ako pag di ako gano nagdadala ng cash pero baliktad pala :lol:

ako kahit noon hindi ako na-entice kumuha ng credit card. Dati binigyan ako ng erpats ko ng supplementary pero hindi ko rin ginagalaw. :sweat: Nung nasa abroad ako medyo dun mahirap magpigil kasi kahit yung normal atm mo kung san pumapasok ang sahod mo pwede mo na rin ipangkaskas anytime sa mga stores at gamitin for online puchase - all in one na by default kaya para iwas impulse buying iniiwan ko card ko pero nagwiwithdraw na ko ng allowance ahead of time. :lol:

Ako simple lang paraan ko para sigurado akong makaipon. Diretso deposit agad sa bangko yung majority ng sahod tapos nag iiwan na lang ako ng sakto sa magagasta ko hanggang next sahod then iwan na lang sa bahay yung ATM. At dahil sakto lang yung budget na tinabi ko para sa sarili, iwas splurge na rin pag nasa mall ako.

FYI, binata pa ko kaya ganito ako mag budget for myself. I began doing this back in SG and so far it worked for me kahit pa meron akong monthly bills that time so I figured na ganun din gawin ko dito sa pinas. In about 6 months, give and take, nakaka 30K+ ako halos - yun eh kung todo stick talaga ako sa budget plan ko tapos walang big expenses along the way tulad ng mamahaling gadget, etc.

Sa work ko ngayon we only get paid once a month (pero 1 bagsakan na sya)...Nung una skeptical ako dahil sanay na nga ako sumasahod ng kinsenas..Eventually narealize ko ok rin pala itong once a month na sahuran, mas nakakapag budget na ko for 1 whole month & meron pa ako naitatabi for me kahit konti hanggang sa maka sahod uli the following month..

^ganun din sa min sa SG, once a month lang at isang bagsak na. Hindi lahat ng kumpanya pare-pareho ng petsa ng sahod pero karamihan talagang katapusan ng buwan. Mapipilitan ka talaga mag budget that way.

I already started the 2017 Peso Sense Challenge uli..Wala naman nabago sa amount...I feel accomplished for this challenge last year...So nung bakasyon 2 weeks ago, i divided the whole amount (10k mahigit) into 2, plus yung mga napamaskuhan ng mga boys ko, and voila...Tig 7,2k sila, pati bunso ko meron na bank account & thankfully that chick at the bank gave me a passbook instead, so talagang walang withdrawal na mangyayari he he...

Now one of my challenges for 2017 is investing in stocks....Kulang pa sa puhunan pero i'll get there
