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!

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? Just choose the amount depending on what you have and what's highest amount that week Set aside the amount Cross out the week Wait for another week 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 o...

new rims for my ride

got a pair of this baby in blumentritt street in manila just the other day. it's a bit dirty but i know it's a nice find. just don't know from which car it came from. but judging from it, i bet it'll look good in my 86 lancer, just a little cleaning up will do the trick. i got it for 540 pesos pair, which i think is a good buy considering its condition. and, i would always opt for steel rims rather than mag alloys. gotta love those ol' school babies. here's my friend dominic formulating a solution for the rusty rims. i gotta tell you this guy is good in every sense of the word. he help me cleaned my acquisitions. well, he did most of the work. but i did a lot too.

Why have a Website in 2015?

Why have a website when there’s Facebook? Isn’t that enough? I've been getting this objection every time I offer my web services. I found that funny ten years ago. But hearing the same excuse to not create a website for their business is disheartening. Here in Cavite Philippines, most of SMEs(small/medium enterprise) does not have websites. And, I think they have the same reason like what the rest of the world has. And that might be because: websites are expensive to make, or you don't have the time to do it, or you'd rather use facebook, or all of the above I don't blame them if these are the case. However, the way they see website doesn't change the fact that having a website is valuable. It is so needed that asking why get a website feels like living in the cretaceous era. We can scour the net and get several reasons why your business or even just you need a website. But I'm not here to do your homework. You can leave this page now and go to  go...
