    That is why one of the manufacturing companies in the south, has to spin off their ROHQ organization and hold office there in BGC bro... ahem ahem.....

    BIR is everywhere these days. Even scraps "donated" a few years ago,- they would put value on them and will attempt to charge eVAT or whatever tax-appropriate charge is available in their books.... As always the burden of proof is on the company....

    Yup, happened to me as well when I ordered a dash cam from HK. Had to pay d&t almost the same as the cost of the unit itself.

    I used DHL too for a laptop 4weeks ago. DHL Head Office in Makati charged 3900 pesos for d&t. At least shipping was only 2000 pesos.

    I'm tempted to buy perfume but I said to myself that I won't be buying "wants" anymore, just "needs"

    This is a good mantra. It'll help you budget better, and motivate you to find a higher paying job if you really want to indulge in more wants.

    I was scouting the job market a week ago since I wanted to have more budget for my investments, but I decided it's better not to be a jumper and stick it out first for the next 3-5 years. Will probably try to find a sideline instead to be able to supplement my current income.

    Thanks. That's what I said to myself exactly. I need a higher paying job to buy my "wants". I used to buy clothes monthly but now I do it every 3 months na lang ata (and only a a few pieces). I don't care anymore if I wear the same clothes over and over. As long as I look decent.

    It helps to have a monthly budget for clothes. If you wanna buy expensive stuff, then save a few months' worth of your clothing budget so you don't overspend. Not sure if it works for everyone, but it's been helping me stay within my budget.

    I also apply the same for all other spending categories (nights out, dates, toys, travel, etc).

    Yup. I used to have a monthly budget. I even had an envelope before where I set aside my budget. If I go over, then I deduct that amount from next month's budget. But now I just lost interest in buying clothes, shoes or make up. I am glad travelling is not one of my luxuries. That's where most of my colleagues spend their money on. I'd be so broke if I were a travel person. hehe.

    Travel as much as you can while you're still young and your body can still take the beating.

    I only spend money on clothing and shoes, IF AND ONLY IF there's a need for them AND they are on a big sale....

    It's a good thing also that wifey and our kids are not into buying the more expensive items....

    Hahaha! Suko ka na ba sa kalalakad diyan sa East Coast?....

    Now, you have the exercise that you were longing for (and the weather is not that comfy).... Nakakapayat ba o bumabawi ka na lang sa kain/("l*mon") diyan...
