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!

gamer 2009

i got interested with the gamer because of gerard butler - very good acting on 300 . but it didn't started there. it started with the spy next door of jackie chan where i saw amber valletta . and as an info geek that i am, i searched for other movies she starred. and gamer was her last movie before the comedy/spy flick. review? it's bloody, sexy and cool! which means it's good. i would recommend it to be watched on the big screen. but hd/plasma at home will do.

Understanding the Economic Implications of Artificial Intelligence

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing in the modern economy, and it is having a huge impact on our daily lives. While AI offers many benefits, it also has some economic implications that the average middle income person should understand.  First, AI has the potential to automate many jobs. This means that some people may find themselves out of work as their jobs are replaced by machines. This could have a detrimental effect on the economy as a whole, as fewer people are employed and more money is taken out of circulation. Additionally, AI could also lead to greater inequality in our society, as those with higher levels of education and skill may benefit more from automation than those with lower levels of education and skill. Second, AI can also create new markets and opportunities for businesses. Companies are using AI to develop new products and services, and this can lead to increased profits and growth. AI can also be used to increase efficiency in production pr...
