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!

On Philippine Constitutional Reform

For years, my country, the Philippines, has lived under a plague of uncertainty, disorientation, and quiet despair. It’s not even dramatic anymore; an undeniable pessimistic prognosis. I’ve witnessed graft, corruption, and bribery so many times across administrations, from Ramos' all the way to Marcos'. To which, the electoral process itself feels less like a democratic ritual and more like a cyclical delusion. Trust eroded not in one catastrophic moment, but in countless small betrayals. If you know what I know, you will not vote either. Yes, I stopped voting from Ramos. Don't ask. Halfway through a PGMN YouTube episode “ The Ultimate Discussion on Constitutional Reform ” hosted by James Deakin, something snapped. I paused the video, sat back, and realized: I’ve heard this same conversation for decades. The panel was articulate, the arguments compelling, and the intentions sincere. They circled around a central thesis: the constitution needs to be changed. And on that, rig...

The Architecture of Self: Metacognition, Emotional Intelligence, and the Dynamic Control System Within

I. The Right Question Most discussions of Emotional Intelligence treat it as a companion to cognition — a soft counterpart to the harder work of reasoning. Most discussions of metacognition treat it as a neutral, elevated faculty: the mind watching itself from a clean remove. Both assumptions are wrong. The productive question is not whether EQ and metacognition matter — they clearly do — but what is the structural relationship between them, and more precisely: what regulates what, under which conditions? That question — not "what serves what?" but "what governs what, and when?" — is the organizing principle of this framework. It reframes the entire discussion from static hierarchy to dynamic control architecture. Everything that follows depends on that shift. II. The Conventional View and Its Limits The standard position holds that EQ and metacognition are co-equal, mutually reinforcing capacities. EQ supplies the affective sensitivity that keeps cognition ...
