    actually napakaliit pa lang ng kita ko. naipit sa smc. since bargain yung 2PO nila, nagdagdag ako. kaya di ako gumagastos ng kung ano ano lang.

    hinde rin naman siguro mawawala ng yung pera ko dyan. puro naman blue chips binibili ko. iwas sa basura kasi di ko kayang isugal.

    hahaha! I could never understand Apple fanatics.

    I think one reason why people have trouble saving is they need things to make themselves feel good. I chanced upon a discussion where one lady said that she was using her ANNUAL savings to buy a 35-40k bag

    ^ sakit na yan IMO. Ako mga 20-25% lang nasasave ko. Hindi ko na pinapakialaman maliit na kita ni misis para happy na rin siya kahit hindi malaki allowance ko sa kanya. May lote din kasi akong hinuhulugan although maliit lang dahil NHA yun. hehe

    I think that's a good amount considering that you are married

    I learned this also sa Gung Ho seminar, you must have a cash savings worth at least 2 years living allowance [especially if married]. Yun yung buffer dapat tapos anything in excess puwede na i-invest sa stock market or isabong! hehe

    Ako ang taong ayaw sa hulugan. So kung paano ako gumastos eh ganun ako magtipid. Kaya wag bibili ng isang bagay pag kulang pa pera.

    Never din ako nagkaroon ng credit card. One time may nagpadala sa akin ng credit card kahit hindi ako nagapply!!!! Tinawagan ko yung bangko at pinaterminate ko agad.

    Malaking tulong din pag wala ka balak mag-asawa.

    I read somewhere naman at least 6 months of your salary. 2 years living allowance ang laki naman. Gano karami kaya nakakagawa niyan. hehe.

    Living allowance lang naman, hindi kasama vacation and other shopping spree events.
