siguro naman mawawala na ang impulse buying mo pag nagawa mo ito

ha ha ha! That would be effective. It's very embarrassing to post ALL your purchases.

I have less regard on controlled spending. I get what I want. I am more inclined to have a constant upward stream of revenue.

Just buy what you need and not what you want

How do you do this if you're an employee with a fixed salary per month, and not enough capital to start a business yet?

Sure you do. I see you like dogs. You could be a dog walker/sitter, dog trainer, or dog breeder. This does not need much start up money (except for the last one).
