    simple oi
    1) imerge nnyu ang inyu income sa imo husband

    2) AYAW ug palit sa mga WANTS palit ug mga needs, if you don't know which items are needed and wants then you are not mature enough, so better learn how to evaluate

    3) Live as if you are living with your last peso, baliha ang hunahuna everytime makadawat ka ug sweldo, its not that "Oh great sweldo na pd, yehey", himua pessimistic like "oh sweldo na pd d ay karon, okay".

    4) consistent saving, meaning, keep a constant or specific amount of money to be saved. example 2k kada bulan (1k kada payday)

    5) invest, invest, invest, there are many ways you can invest your money like business, mutual funds, time deposits, etc. Ask a money consultant if wla ka kabalo unsaon

    6) DO not pretend or act that you received a bunos or extra income when you actually received them, treat it as ordinary income so that you can save and keep it. This is also known as training your "psychological wallet" or training yourself na ma-anad na DILI ma SHOCK kung makadawat ug daku kwarta.

    7) Ig saka sa imo sweldo during a new Job or a promotion, as much as possible DO NOT adjust your lifestyle, common pitfalls ni sa mga taw, coz if you adjust your lifestyle you are not giving yourself an opportunity to save, but if you keep your old spending habits even nidaku na imo income, then that difference between your old and new income will shape your future.

    Common mistake sa mga Pinoy, pagmakadawat ug kwarta kay mag party dayun!

    ang masayop jd pirmi ang mga taw, specially ang mga girls kay;
    1. unnecessary spending on gadgets, Ayaw palit ug iPhone or iPad when ang imo need kay mag facebook ra, if your need is for communication, a cheap phone will do, And I mean an ordinary phone which cost lessthan 5k will do.
    maka internet naman ka sa balay, unsa pa gamit na mag cge ka ug check sa imo internet sa imo phone?
    dli magpadala sa uso.

    2. Don't OVER reward yourself with shopping, think of it as, when you save money now, you can reward yourself later kng daghan na ka ug tigum, whats the difference?
    a) In times of need, kung naka save ka naa kay makuhaan na kwarta.
    b) when nakasave ka ug daku, you can invest it and grow your money, that's the time you can reward yourself.

    3) Do not compete or risk your money para lang sa "social status", you do not need to show them that you have money just by your gadgets, cars ug unsa pa dira, sa tinood d ay wla d ay to savings

    disciplina ra jd na ang kelangan

    cebugdev,

    Good advice!! Naa ko mga kaila sauna sa callcenter pagsulod nila sa work makita ra jud sa ila sinuotan na simple kaayo ang life pero pag agi sa pipila ka tuig sos bongga na kaau lifestyle, sa gadgets pang SOCIAL NETWORK ra diay ang gamit sa phone ug tablet picture2x ug pagkaon post sa Facebook!

    So TS sama sa gisulti ni cebugdev dapat kabalo ka unsay WANTS ug NEEDS nimo, mao nay first step kay useless man ang blog-length na advices kung ruthless spender ka ug unnecessary na things. Cheers!!!!

    I'm not one of the ladies from whom you want some tips pero mo share ko some tips that works well for us.

    Maka save gyud when we start spending less. Nag cost cutting by investing on using natural light during the day, gibuslotan ang atop to let natural light get through the room. Sama niini Plastic soda bottles become light source - YouTube makatabang na labi na for small rooms.

    We wrap all appliance cords (whole length) with aluminum tape then electrical tape to improve efficiency sa electricity nga moadto sa appliance labi na sa electric fan, washing machine ug ref. Any appliance or electrical load nga naay electric motor dako ang ma save sa ing-ani nga pamaagi. Make sure lang ang aluminum tape or foil will not touch any conducting material on the appliance cord or wire ug kinahanglan ma wrap ug electrical tape aron di dali maguba ang aluminum. For those big houses nga naay aircon, electric fan, washing machine ug water pumps nga migasto ug P10k ang electric bill, nakasave sila ug P3k sa ing-ani nga pamaagi. Additional nindot nga effect ani mao nga mohilom ang andar sa mga sabaan nga aircon - meaning less vibration, nakaless sa noise pollution. For small household, naay monthly savings nga P100 to P400 monthly sa electric bill with just one time gastos sa aluminum tape ug electrical tape.

    Regarding food, niundang na kaon ug karne. It will take two months nga anam anam ug minus ang meat nga food intake. Fish nalang kinagmay and more on gulay, fruits (pinaka least nga naa ang saging hinog or linung-ag) and nuts na. Maka save kay wala naman pud mag sige adto ug pharmacy aron palit vitamins supplement ug wala nay sakit sakit sa panglawas. Pang long term ni nga pamaagi ug bye bye western medicine ang ing-ani nga pamaagi - meaning di na pud sakitin ang panglawas. Pasensya na mga doctors, kinahanglan gyud ug open mind ang ing-ani nga mga pamaagi.

    Snacks sa mga bata - walay chichiriya ug processed foods with preservatives. Simple pan or saging with water will do. Kung sa balay lang, natural fruit juice and water nindot pud as drinks. Walay softdrinks. Wala mi anang mga powdered juice drinks. Wala pud mi instant noodles pero mag ilog ug pancit miki with vegetables.

    We avoid the daily intake of garlic and onions like we used to sa mga ginisa ug uban pa and buy atsal instead of garlic and onions. Ok ra mogamit ug garlic and onion kung manambal man gani but not daily. We don't use any instant nga panggisa, not good for the body. Rock salt instead of iodized salt ang gamit. Mao ni ang gibasihan nga source of information regarding garlic and onions: Why no Onions and Garlic?

    Sa panglaba kay naggamit man ug washing machine, nag gamit mi ug loundry balls similar ani: Eco Green Laundry Balls
    pero di gyud ing-ana ug brand or itsura ug barato ra to palit nako sa sm hardware kay gi sale that time, tag P25 ra while ang isa ka product gi display tag P190. Ang tinuod ani, barato ra gyud ni nga product, gipahimoslan lang sa uban ug overpriced. Ang claimed is about 90 loads ni magamit but from experience sobra pa sa 90 loads magamit kay dugay kaayo mahilis ang pellets niya sa sulod. Ang function aning pellets nila mao ang pag soften sa water aron soft water mismo ang mo clean sa panapton. Lubog gyud ang tubig sa hugaw sa mga panapton. Banlawan kaduha ug tapos na imong labada. A tubig sa first banlaw, gi save pang flush sa toilet bowl. Ang tubig sa ikaduha nga banlaw, gigamit sa mga tanom labi na karon nga ting-init na. Nindot ang resulta sa labada than using the conventional chemical detergents. Mogamit man gani ug sabon panglaba sa ginagmay nga mga butang, perla ra pud kay pinakasimple pagkaprocess.

    Kung naay sakyanan, we use simple solutions aron makadaginot sa maintenance sama sa pag improve sa engine oil ug sa electrical system.

    Kung sa gargening, we save water by not removing the fallen leaves ug di sige isturbohon ang soil aron makatrabaho ang kinaiyahan mag improve sa soil. Fallen leaves di gyud angay silhigon kung nagtabon sila sa yuta, di pud angay sunogon. It will keep the soil moisture for a longer period of time aron magamit sa tanom or kahoy. Makasave ka time, makatabang pa sa palibot. Biodegradable wastes gikan sa kusina, composting na derecho. Plastics lang ang maadto sa basurahan.

    The more we spend less, the more maka save. Nindot pud naay additional income or sideline business aron naay pangpuno sa savings.

    Kana lang sa pagkakaron ang akong ma share.

    And to add something to cebugdev, stay away from credit cards and unnecessary monthly subscriptions.

    I agree gyud ani. Bisan ug wala pa kay bayran nga interest (done it sa una straight four years wala koy nabayran nga interest), pildi gyud gihapon ka aning credit cards panahon mag bayad na ka kay you will spend time during magbayad ka bisan mag online payment pa nga pamaagi - you spend some resources gihapon. Samot na kung moadto gyud sa bank for payments, klarong alkansi gyud.
