trial experience

and so i used envelope budgeting and achieved some results: not that astonishing though. i budgeted my last Php1732.00 yesterday to make it last until tuesday, just before the next pay day. i got 4work nights and 2 offs. i need Php250 per work day, which means Php1000 so i still have extra Php732 since i dont have debts and bills to pay for now. that's a good sign considering i'm already thinking that i'll have no money when tuesday comes. what makes it work? here are what i saw


  1. big view on a small scale - i never get to see the whole picture when i spend or swipe: especially swipe. because there's something with buying that makes me feel easy and comfortable that i want to do it again. without consulting the purse. but last night i saw the details on my spending. i know i love food and that was the time i realized that i eat for comfort. so, i know i spend too much on that part and that's where i need to watch out.
  2. preventive measure - knowing that i only have money for food and transportation made me back-off on those luscious donuts with custard inside and icing on top. need i say more?
these are just two of, i should say, benefits that it can offer. i have some more at the back of my mind. but i just got back from work and i want to sleep. so, ponder on these for and i'm pretty sure you'll have your own list once you've tried this envelope thingy.

budgeting 101

to dig deep into envelope budgeting, i must simplify the term first. hence, i need to make sure i understand the word budgeting... budget. A budget (from old French bougette , purse) is a financial plan and a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving, borrowing and spending -  wikipedia so, basing from the definition, it can be simplified as... (income - expense = 0) where income is defined(in my own words) as any monetary device labeled with currency which was received and/or is available to be consumed by the calculated expenses. while expense is a calculation of how the income will be used. some might ask where saving lies in the formula. since, i believe that it is one of the elements of expenses, let me extend the formula to: [income - (saving +other expenses) = 0] i still have doubts on this calculations, though. so, any comments and suggestions are encouraged for a healthy discussion.
