52 week money challenge: select a week version

I'm guessing you already read 52 week money challenge and it's reversed version.

Now comes another version since I don't have the patience to be steady(except when driving).

I call it: Select-A-Week version

How it works?


  1. Just choose the amount depending on what you have and what's highest amount that week
  2. Set aside the amount
  3. Cross out the week
  4. Wait for another week
  5. Repeat.
Let's take the chart below as an example


If this week, you were able to save Php300, then cross out the 7/25/2014. So, you don't have to just set aside Php50.00. The bigger you set aside, the easier it will be to save in the future. The following week, you were able to save Php1000.00 then cross out 10/31/2014. Now, you have Php300.00 and Php1000.00 crossed out. Let's say you save another Php300.00 the following week, since you already crossed the Php300.00, you'll just have to cross out Php250.00. That leaves you extra Php50.00, which you can also cross out or spend depending on what you fancy.

Happy Saving!

categorize: save money

want a reason to save? when i buy, i categorized my purchases as either: 1. necessary or 2. not necessary(others) easy as that. the tricky part is how to determine whether what i'm buying is necessary or not. it should be as simple as a yes or no question, but some factors complicate the decision making process. whatever those factors are it all boils down to whether it is needed or not. let's use phone as a sample. i would say i don't need a phone to live or i wont die(literally) if i don't have a phone. but if i have a kid and i want to keep track of him because i will die of worrying, then that's a need. now, think. what are the things that you can't live without? don't cheat. and, only by that you will be able to save.

a day in a life in makati - part 2

cont... after the early dinner we had in fridays, we ended up in the park near a church (imagine - a church near a mall...) i would say it's peaceful. it will take your mind out of the city life. a peice of nature, might i add. now before we headed home, the mall's extension - glorietta 5 got our attention. i remember the the old parking lot which was situated there. it is the best extension of the ayala mall i've seen yet. well, there's trinoma. but that's a different story.
