Saving money is hard – and boring. And most of all, it’s so not effective!
There’s the matter of self-discipline that you need to develop.
You probably heard your friend say, “Tsaka na ko mag- iinvest kapag may ipon na ako.” Well actually you can save money whenever you can; careful planning and knowledge can direct you to financial freedom. If you are interested, read these helpful money saving tips.
How do you define savings? One of the biggest mistakes that Filipinos make is how they define savings. It usually equates to:
Salary – Expenses = Savings instead of Salary – Savings = Expenses
Lessen your expenses.
Since having a raise happens once a year, the best way to save money is to lessen your expenses. Here are some suggestions:
P20,000 / 160 = P125.00
Based on my example, you actually earn P125.00 per hour. That dress you’re looking at right now costs P1,500. Do you really want to spend 12 working hours just for a dress? 12 hours of tiring labor, 12 hours of your boss stressing you out, 12 hours of your back hurting, 12 hours of doing confusing reports and 12 hours talking to nettlesome colleagues for just one dress?
Think about it.
Don’t do it – your older self will hate you for it.
You worked hard for this money. Don’t just spend it recklessly.
You’re saving up for emergencies like unexpected hospital confinement or unemployment, remember?
Don’t be pressured into buying that dress! It doesn’t look good on you – the saleslady’s just being polite!
As my name starts with the letter “E,” I would save every bill with a serial identification that starts with that letter. There are times when I’m lucky, because only my P20 bills had “E.” But just recently, my P1,000 bills became my sentimental bill. It’s better to think of money this way: you’re saving it for yourself.
The worse your lack of self-control is, the larger your container should be. It’s pretty inconvenient to wait for your card to defrost when your friends are already waiting for you.
If your salary goes into account A, you can ask your bank to withdraw (at least) 5% and deposit it to account automatically. Don’t trust yourself enough to do this manually. The pain is just too unbearable. Leave it to automation instead.
And the most important,

Apple Inc introduced two new iPhones on Tuesday (Wednesday, PHL time), the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C that comes in five colors and starts at $99 with a contract, priced to bring one of the industry’s costliest smartphones within reach of the masses in poorer emerging markets
The iPhone 5C will greatly help Apple in many markets. While most phones come with a 2-year contract in the U.S., it’s not the case in the rest of the world. A new cheaper iPhone was highly anticipated as it could become a best-selling device in Europe and Asia. In these countries, customers can opt for cheaper plans but have to purchase unsubsidized phones. While it’s a great deal over two years, the high price of the high-end iPhones sometimes scares people off and make them buy Android phones.
In a surprising move, the iPhone 5 is not sticking around while Apple will now “sell” the iPhone 4 for free with a two-year contract. On the other hand, the iPhone 5 is now discontinued.

Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S4 smartphone will feature a 5in Full HD 1080p screen.
The Galaxy S4, when it launches later this year, will sport a 4.99in screen with a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, according to Anandtech. The Samsung roadmap shows a planned launch of a FHD display in Q1 of 2013.
It’s also highly likely that the Galaxy S4 will be powered by Samsung’s recently announced Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor.
It seems doubtful that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S4 at this year’s MWC since it decided to hold its own event afterward for the Galaxy S3 launch. Therefore, March would seem a suitable month for the Galaxy S4 to make its debut.
