    anyone can think of the best way to save up. Theres a ga-zillion ways to save up. The best line I could think of is (I know this is from a movie I watched before), simplify, modify and economize For me, the most important thing to do is set your priorities straight. For example, remember the time that you wanted that booming sound in your car? how bout the new wheels? how bout the new gadgets and stuff you wanted to add in your car? How come you were able to save up for that? Basically, priorities will really dictate your cashflow. If you don't plan your cashflow, nothings going to work. I monitor my own expenses by taking note of my daily expenses money in money out.Then I set priorities or how much I want to cut down on. I know its a bit of a drag to every now and then you write down your expenses everytime you bring out money. But in the long run, you'd see the results of cutting down your expenses.

    sa pagtipid. simple lang sabi ng iba set ur priorities. Kung may mabibilhang mura, dun ka na sa mura. Iwasan na den ang excessive bisyo. Sa pambili ng isang stick na yosi, pag naipon in one month malaki laki na den. Ngayon if someone offered a stick, tanggapin libre eh! Lolz. If ever natutuksong gumastos tanungin lang ang sarili: "Mamamatay ba ako kung nde ko mabili to?" kung ang sagot ay oo bilhin mo. kapag hindi. walk away brother.

    Kaya ko naman nasabing buwaya e tingnan mo yung ginawa nila sa Star Channels, they made it exclusively sa Sky para mag-switch yung mga subscribers. Tapos yung sa Meralco, sa PLDT, sa NLEX, etc.

    makakatipid kapag ang bibilin lang natin ay yung mga needs natin-try iwasan gamitin ang credit card kung nde naman talaga urgent need...sa mga basic naman; sa kuryente-bawasan nalang ang pag aircon(hirap nito ang init ngayon), computer..patayin ang ilaw pag nde ginagamit. ang plantsa malakas din un try nalang twice a week...sa gas naman kapag malapit lang baka namn pwede commute na..siyempre d naman porket may sasakyan tayo e hindi na tayo sasakay sa public transpo paminsan-minsan...mahirap na talaga buhay siguro medyo adjust nalang ng konti...

    OT: ty ghost...

    -wag na gumamit ng water heater...pakulo ka na lang sa takure at gumamit na lang ng tabo at timba...save as much as 50% sa electric bills kapag ginawa nyo ito..subok ko na ito...
    -para sa mga naka casual outfit everyday, wag na plantsahin ang damit...isabit na lang ng maayos he he...magugusot din iyan
    -magbaon ng lunch...

    Ang ginagawa ko, 50% ng suweldo dapat i-save, 50% nun i-distribute sa mga gastos(bahay, groceries, daily allowances, electricity, etc)... So, dapat live within the remaining 50% lang talaga ako... hehehe... so, kung naubos ang lotion mo ngayon at wala ka pang budget para dun, wag ka muna mag-lotion. Ndi pa time para mag-lotion eh...

    . my mom turns off the ref in the evening
    . we go to the mall just to lessen the aircon usage at home
    . aircon usage lasts around 3-4 hours a day
    . di na kme nagwa-washing machine (may taga laba naman e)
    . bumili kme ng parang industrial electric fan, para malakas ang hangin :D
    . sa office na ko natutulog (hehehe! aircon e!)
    . pinapatay namin tubig sa gabi, to eliminate leaks
    . bawasan ang mga pangkikay
    . naka-SUN na ko, so ang binibili ko na lng 250 na CTU at 150 na regular load, pang 1 month na yun! (dati naka line ako ng globe e, monthly ko umaabot ng 2K)
    . di na ko masyado nagtetext kung hindi naka-SUN (hehehe)
    . hmmm, ano pa ba??

    Convert your home aircon to Inverter technology..magastos sa una pero kikita ka pa in the long run.

    or try to use power savers. hindi ko alam kung meron nito sa pinas pero Im using one of this MS388. ok naman mga 20% to 30% na save ko every month sa electricity.
    Legal pa ito.

    apir!!!

    i've seen some people reuse their washing machine/pinaglabhan na water to clean floors and to flush their toilets, kaso masyadong matrabaho. nag iisip nga ako ng sistema para ma automate -- for starters, ung pag collect ng tubig into a big bucket

    thanks for all the replies re gassing up at night.. so tootoo pala at tama yung ginagawa ko hehe

    for dating/single couples eto tips ko (subok ko na to sa gf ko hehe)
    1. meet up after dinner nalang, tipid ka na sa dinner coz u eat at home, tipid ka pa sa gas kasi less traffic at that time

    2. tambay nalang sa bahay or sa bahay ng friend. no entrance, mura pa beer at pulutan sa convenience store

    3. if ever you need to go out on a gmik, stay away from places na may cover charge. paborito kong tambayan ngayon if ever we need to gmik is oyster boy, good ambiance and 25 lang beer! hehehe

    4. watch only the movies that you can appreciate on the big screen. for everything else theres dvd's hehe

    5. the best parin dyan:go dutch-we have to be practical these days. (though i cant practice this kasi liit lang sweldo ng GF ko pero hinde ako tumatanggi whenever she offers to treat me)

    keep the tips coming guys, dami kong natutunan dito.. subukan ko nga yung magpakulo ng tubig instead of using the heater

    makikain na rin kayo para kumpleto, hehee, hanggat maari wag na gamit washing machine kc bayad ka lang ng tubig na gagamitin mahal na, kuryente, advice kung hand wash mas maganda exercise pa. Hangat maaring di kailangan yung bagay wag na bilhin. Tipid Tipid
