How to Save and Invest While on a Filipino Salary

Sa panahon ngayon, mahalaga ang pag-save at pag-invest kahit pa maliit lang ang kita mo. Para sa karamihan ng mga Pilipino, ang salary ay sakto lang para sa pang-araw-araw na gastusin. Pero alam mo ba? Kahit na sakto lang ang sweldo mo, puwede ka pa ring magsimula ng financial journey mo. Heto ang mga practical tips para simulan ang pag-save at pag-invest habang nasa Filipino salary bracket ka. 1.  Unahin ang Needs Bago Wants Isa sa mga pinaka-importanteng step ay ang alamin ang pagkakaiba ng "needs" at "wants." Maglaan ng pera para sa mga essentials tulad ng pagkain, renta, utilities, at transportation. Pagkatapos, kung may natira, saka mo i-allocate para sa wants. Tip : Gumamit ng budgeting method tulad ng envelope system para ihiwalay ang pera mo sa iba't ibang kategorya. 2.  Mag-set ng Specific Financial Goals Bakit ka nag-iipon?

Budgeting 101: Tips for Young Adults in the Philippines

  Sa panahon ngayon, ang bilis ng takbo ng buhay, at kung hindi tayo maingat, baka mas mabilis pang maubos ang ating pera kaysa sa sahod na dumating. Kaya, para sa mga kabataang Pinoy na nagsisimula pa lang humawak ng pera, eto na ang simpleng gabay para sa mas maayos na budgeting. 1.  Alamin ang Iyong Income at Expenses “Hindi mo maayos ang hindi mo alam,” ika nga.

Dito mo makikita kung saan napupunta ang pera mo. 2.  Gumawa ng Budget Plan Kapag alam mo na ang galaw ng pera mo, hatiin mo ito gamit ang 50/30/20 rule: 50% Needs : Para sa mga essentials tulad ng renta, pagkain, at bills. 30% Wants : Para sa luho tulad ng pag-order sa GrabFood o panonood ng sine. 20% Savings/Investments : Para sa emergency fund o future goals mo tulad ng travel o business.

Secrets to Turning Your Hobby Into Income

  Secrets to Turning Your Hobby Into Income By Hel Frae Hey guys! Alam mo ba na pwede kang kumita habang ginagawa ang mga bagay na gusto mo?

Why Having No Friends Can Be a Hidden Strength

Not everyone has a bustling social circle, and that’s okay. While society often glorifies friendships, solitude can offer unique advantages that are just as valuable.   People who prefer solitude often develop deep self-awareness, strong independence, and exceptional creativity. Without the distractions of constant socializing, they can focus on personal growth, pursue meaningful goals, and nurture authentic relationships when they choose to.   Past experiences, personality traits like introversion, or mental health challenges may contribute to someone having fewer friends. However, these individuals often turn solitude into a source of strength building resilience, originality, and emotional self-sufficiency.   Friendship is important, but so is embracing the power of being alone. Both paths lead to fulfillment, depending on what works best for you.
