I was there, too— excited to earn, excited to purchase, then realizing every peso’s already spoken for.
Akala natin maliit lang- "12 months naman, 24, 36 months, magkano lang ang kukurutin every pay day. I can afford this."
Minsan- "sulit ito, may voucher naman."
Until.. slowly.. you feel "bakit nagkukulang na ang sweldo ko?"
Then you start to sit down with your finances, only to realize almost or full of your salary is now dedicated only to monthly bills.
Now, let's look at the second scenario: When you start saving first, everything changes.
Suddenly, your salary works for you — divided into basic needs, a little of wants, and secured savings that grow too, as you grow in your career, as you advance in age.
You get more motivated to work.
You are aware and in full control of every cent of your income.
Moral- Start small. Pay yourself first. Then allot a specific value for your needs and wants.
Tama ka, you deserve to be happy, you deserve comfort, you deserve rewards, BUT not just today, but for longer years.
Ang advice ko- include mo din ang "I deserve to feel secured, I deserve to smile, and feel at peace, anuman ang situation."
After, watch your mindset — and your money — grow. 🌸
