i read in a book that for you to be able to save money and start your own business, you have to ask yourself if you're at the right kind of job.... true enough, a right job would mean more opportunities, career growth and even promotions.it's undeniably true that there's no point in holding a job that will not satisfy you in terms of salaries and wages...come on, we work our asses off to earn a living and not to be drowned in debts...
lemme give you some pointers on how to maximize that saving power...
·avoid eating out at fancy restos very often...lutong bahay is still the best
·try ukay-ukay instead of buying brand new items...if second hand clothings aren't your thing, try tiangges and bazaars...for best bargains try haggling in divisoria.it's also the best spot if you're looking for fabrics, curtains and native products...you can even buy veggies there at very low price
·proper diet, proper nutrition and regular exercise will keep you fit... it costs much to get sick these days
·don't patronize convenience stores. surely, it's the most convenient place to shop but why don't you look at the price tags?since they're open for 24 hours, the goods are a bit expensive
·if you want to shop til you drop, do so, but refrain from using plastics...pushing it to the limits will only cause you trouble on the due date
·if you're into branded items or signature clothes, make sure to shop only at least thrice a year
·walking is a good exercise...instead of using the car in short distances, try walking instead
·you can pamper yourself without spending too much on salons & spa's...do it yourself, just be resourceful
·avoid betting on lottos and sweepstakes
·learn to recycle·bring out that creativity in you, accessorize your old shirts and other clothes and presto, a brand new piece for you
remember that the best things in life are free. just like gazing at the stars and the moon at night, watching the kids play, reading a book and having a sip of your favorite drink in the garden, having sleep overs with your girlfriends, smelling the flower, watching the raindrops fall and much much more...
it's all about living your life to the fullest...indulge and enjoy...money can't buy you happiness but saving up for the future doesn't hurt that much...
