saving money weekly

I came across a an idea called 52 Week Money Challenge. Let me share to you how it works. The idea is to save Php62,900.00 in 52 weeks(one year) and we start with only Php50.00.

What is it?

From the label 52 Week Money Challenge, it's a Challenge. It's about saving Money. It runs for 52 weeks (1 year). In a nutshell, you religiously save an increasing amount for the whole year.

How do you do it?

  1. For the first week, you save Php50.00.
  2. On the second week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php50.00 - plus additional Php50.00. That's Php100.00
  3. On the third week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php100.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php150.00
  4. On the fourth week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php150.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php200.00
  5. You repeat the cycle for one year or 52 weeks.
  6. Enjoy your money.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Make sure you can wait for one year
  • You have an income for at least a year
  • You can afford to set aside the amount of the last week. If you are using Php50.00 as base, then that's Php2,600
Tips: 
  • Put it in a bank account to avoid the temptation of spending your money
  • Have a goal on how to use it when you are done. (eg. cellphone, project car, travel)
  • You can change the base depending on what you can afford. If you are a student you might want to start with Php10.00 or Php20.00
If you think this is not effective to you, then consider changing some of the parameters. Say, reverse it(which i am using). Start from the biggest amount(Php2,600). Or, if you have an erratic amount of income, then just choose what you can afford on the week. I'll be discussing this next time since i have just thought of it right now.

Happy Saving!

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 21: No Theory of Everything

  The Most Seductive Dream There is a dream that haunts physics, philosophy, and the human imagination itself: one equation. One framework. One truth that explains everything. Einstein spent the last decades of his life searching for it, a unified field theory that would reconcile gravity with electromagnetism, that would show all forces as manifestations of a single underlying reality. He failed, but the dream didn't die. String theory arose promising eleven dimensions and one fundamental entity, vibrating strings from which all particles and forces emerge. Loop quantum gravity offered another path. M-theory suggested a framework encompassing all frameworks. The quest continues. Physicists still seek the Theory of Everything (TOE) the final equation that would subsume quantum mechanics and relativity, explain all particles and forces, predict all phenomena. The dream is powerful because it promises ultimate understanding. No more mysteries. No more competing frameworks. No more b...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 12: No Floor

The Search for the Bottom Throughout history, humans have searched for the ground floor of reality, the most fundamental level from which everything else emerges. The ancient Greeks proposed atoms: indivisible particles that couldn't be broken down further. Two thousand years later, we discovered atoms could be split, revealing electrons, protons, and neutrons. Surely these were fundamental? Then we found that protons and neutrons contained quarks. Perhaps quarks are fundamental? String theory suggests they might be vibrations of one-dimensional strings. Perhaps strings are fundamental? Some theories propose even strings are composed of more basic structures; branes, loops, or mathematical objects we don't yet have names for. Each generation believes it has reached the bottom, only to discover deeper structure. This could be a temporary state, we just haven't dug deep enough yet. Eventually we'll hit the truly fundamental level, and the digging will stop. Or it could be...

Contextual Stratification and Wittgenstein: From Language Games to Cognitive Architecture

Wittgenstein cracked a quiet truth that philosophy spent centuries missing: meaning doesn’t live in words but in use. A word means what it does in a situation, not what a dictionary freezes it to be. His concept of language games exposed how science, law, religion, and daily speech each operate under different rules, even when they reuse the same vocabulary. Contextual stratification is the next move. Where Wittgenstein described the phenomenon, contextual stratification structures it. Language games become explicit layers, like distinct strata where concepts are valid, coherent, and internally consistent. Confusion arises not from disagreement, but from dragging ideas across layers where they don’t belong. Most arguments aren’t wrong; they’re misplaced. Wittgenstein believed philosophical problems dissolve once we see how language is actually used. Contextual stratification operationalizes that belief: instead of debating meanings, you locate the layer. Instead of refuting claims, you...
