student allowance?

[vinj]

oo sir may sobra pa pambili ng mangga or singkamas w/ bagoong, buko juice saka pang-arkila ng 'game and watch'.

My P 20 baon could get me pizza, sago gulaman, or some chips (with refill pa pag kaibigan mo yung nagtitinda) and Stay Fresh para ipukol sa classmate.

May meal cards pa sa amin nun... pag sizzling yung bibili, dalawang tatak ang i-sign off. Kung may kaibigan ka na mayaman, makikigamit ka pa sa meal card niya.

nutri-bun kamo? hehehe.

hehehe yun pala spelling nun. yung "putok" na tinapay na kasi inabot ko

[Kiks333]

500 per day sakin pero 150-200 lang ginagastos ko.

Wow laki na pala ng Student allowance ngayon... Mataas pa sa minimum wage.. Nung ako P50 to P80 per day HS to Collage na yun..

I can't remember my college allowance anymore but it must be more or less P100. I only remember my gas allowance was P300 per WEEK. Those where the days! Late 90s gas was less than P20/litre ata.

[jhnkvn]

Php 30 from Grades 1-3
Php 50 from Grade 4-5
Php 100 from Grade 6 to HS 1
Php 120 HS 2
Php 150 HS 3 and 4 (the jump was because I "claimed" to have been affected by the 2% EVAT increase )

College was pretty much 8,400php of regular allowance monthly and 10,000php of special allowance that I need to justify for every expense. As for the special, usually gas allowance was permitted. Far away trips aren't. Clothes... debatable. No parties, no drinks, no dates, no Amazon purchases.. amp. So I usually simply spend it on grocery and books.

[_Cathy_]

so the parties, drinks,dates and amazon purchases you deduct from the regular allowance.

I had a conversation with my good friend back in college on how we could afford to go out a lot with very little money/allowance. I really don't know. hehehe.

It's just for the few and privileged. Kaya pag graduate at nagwork, they realize yung baon nila is better then their starting salary.

What would be the right amount for college student these days inclusive of public transpo and daily expense sa school for lunch and merienda? I wonder if there is logic or truth na masmataas ang baon ng lalaki than girls?

I also don't understand why my brothere's allowance was way bigger than mine. I think it's because his school was much farther so he needed a bigger allowance to cover for gas. Pero hindi rin e....

Yep. Which wasn't really much of a problem since I was saving roughly 60% of regular allowance by mapping my schedule according to my meal times. Yun tipong 1-6pm class or 8-11am... para lagi sa bahay kumakain I also go home when my break's too big since I'm more productive that way such as a time na 8-940am class -> uwi -> eat at home -> 3pm to 7pm class.

Anong pagtitipid sa allowance na ginawa niyo nung kayo ay estudyante pa lang?

Actually, my older brother's allowance was higher than mine. And this is comparing 2008 to his 2003 monetary valuation at that time. Pag regular allowance ko was 8,400php (2013).. his was roughly 9,600php (2003) per month. The reason for this is kinda hilarious and it pissed me off a lot over the span of 5 years that I'm in college because of the cost differential.

After we graduate kasi, our allowance evaluation will be a gauge on how good your negotiation skills is. We negotiate with our parents and we have to defend why we came to that price point. The logic for this is that life and business is a negotiation. If you end up negotiating less, that's your fault so sulk it up.

So before yun interview namin, we had to visit yun DLSU disguised as a visiting student (you know.. prospective students!) and I had to do market research such as the ff. real life examples of what I did.

Food
Of course ayaw mo lagi ng tipid meals.. you can't also set McDonalds as a basis either since it'll be "bakit ang taas ng daily allowance mo when a meal in McDonalds costs roughly 140php on average? Ilan beses ka ba kumakain? Tatlo?".. you'll also need to factor in snack costs -- magkano ba mga quek-quek dito? eh mga candy? How about the occasional milk tea?

Miscellaneous
How about school supplies? Reference books? xerox costing and frequency? eh mga internet-cafe cost mo?

Special Allowance
My trip will also include gas cost -- how far is the typical school trip? how about traffic? my vehicle's fuel efficiency?

So you present your target price. Bawal masyado mataas since if my father smells BS, automatically doon ako sa allowance ni mother.. and that's hell is because my mother makes idolizes Scrooge sa spending habits niya. So you present, they will rebutt, you'll increase allocation on some areas.. and you'll be cutting some expenses you cannot-explain-why-but-you-want-it (in my case, it was my Php100/hour computer rental estimate.. I pattered it after EGG in GH kasi BWAHAHAHA)

Eventually, I managed to defend my 8,400php monthly rate. I tried adding in a +% after every year thanks to regular 3% inflation pero ayaw pumayag since we calculate for present value. Problema lang, after ng interview, nalaman ko nalang masmataas yun allowance ng brother ko just because of one reason:

He included dating costs sa regular allowance and my father approved of it.

Pota. Daya. Di ko naisipian yun.. there I was thinking I should pony it up on my savings so that assumption and don't-want-to-try-to-ask mentality costs me Php72,000 of forgone opportunity cost over my 5 years in school.

P.S. My sister had to settle for Php4,300 college allowance (with a bigger special allowance) just because ayaw niya dumaan sa process. It's that kind of pressure na talagang parang real-life.

Back in the late 90s, my allowance was Php50 per day. Pag may pasok lng ksama n pamasahe at lunch kjng hindi k kakain sa bahay.

Yun elementary? high school? college?

I do remember having Yakisoba everyday for a week straight back in Elem..... then there's that infamous rice with gravy. Who the eff invented that dapat bigyan ng jacket. It's like ito kanin... ito gravy.. ayan na ulam mo maging masaya ka na

[jonski]

Naalala ko 10 pesos baon ko noong grade 1-3 and 30 pesos naman noong 4-6.Sa highschool 60 pesos mula freshmen hanggang senior. Sa Pangasinan pa naman ako nag-aaral noon kaya mura lang mga tinda.

Noong nag college na ako ay 1 month allowance na binibigay sakin kaya minsan ay wala pang 3 weeks ay ubos na pera ko

I got P150 to P200 a week for gas. Diesel back then was anywhere between P12 to P14 per litre.

[monkeybone1k]

When I was in elementary, P20-50 an allowance ko plus I have my snacks and merienda. Tapos may school service. Kaya naman I save my moolahs til Friday may pambili na ako ng pc cd na pron este games!
