Bublepop,

I smell another pyramid-ish scam here.

Ako naman money mistake same din as most of you yung #1 money mistake is lending money sa mga good friends and relatives who dont even pay you back na.

ewan ko ba sis di siguro lahat eh swerte sa networking merong nakaka tiempo meron naman hindi at isa nako dun at ng mga ka members ko at head namin.,hehe :)

Sa MLM, kung isa ka sa mga nauna, 'di hamak na mas malaki ang advantage mo kaysa doon sa mga ni-recruit long after nag-start yung business.  Dahil kahit ano pa ang pep talk na gawin ng mga promotor niyan, eventually magda-dry up yung market ng produkto nila.  Huwag kayong magpaloko na kahit sino daw pwedeng i-recruit, .....dahil babagsak ang lipunan natin kung lahat ay magiging seller/recruiter na lang. 

So ang mga kawawa ay yung mga nasa downline na wala silang malay, biglang magsasara na lang yung business matapos magpa-yaman ng mga nagsimula.

Heto ang nakakainis, pag nagsara na yung original business nila, magtatatag na naman sila ng bagong MLM na produkto, para sila ulit ang nasa taas at makakahakot na naman sila ng pera mula sa mga panibagong downline nila.  Career nila yan.

Ganun lang lagi.  Everything is legal in MLM, but it operates on the assumption that people are gullible.

Aww. sorry to hear that sis.
From here on out though, never
lend without security/collateral
and make sure to make some allowance
for the depreciation of the collateral.

I mean, if they have every intention
of paying "next month kuno" then it
shouldn't matter if they have to give
up some of their gadgets as security,
right?  ;D

sa akin, hindi one big time pero simula bata ako may mga umuutang sakin. Eh nahihiya akong maningil. Di man lang mahiya na bayaran ako :( di naman ako nangungutang bakit ganito balik sakin. hmp!

Saka kapag may excess pera ako aside sa savings ko, ayun, nauubos sa kung ano anong binibili. Kung dinagdag ko pala sa savings yun eh di mas malaki savings ko..
I like games well played :)

etp sa akin;

pinagtiwala ko ang pinang show money ko sa isang ka phone pal lang ng kuya ko (phone pal pa uso non)

pinatago ko pera sa isang kaibigan. di naman malaki pero pinaghirapan ko a rin yun .

pautang sa mga tao na di marunong mag bayad. ok lang dahil katwiran ko di na sila makakaulit. effective naman.lol

Sobrang kuripot ko sa sarili ko, as in I make it a point to spend only 300 pesos a day. Nagbabaon ako, nagcocommute, etc, para lang makatipid. I make roughly 50-60k per month so okay sana, however...

I always fall in love with guys with no jobs! Well di naman bum, pero nasa grad school pa. Mind you, I'm in my early twenties.

My ex was a law student. Grabe sobrang lagi kong pinapakain yun, ako gumagastos ng lahat. Dumating pa sa point na ako na nagbayad ng tuition niya...grabe talaga. Hahaha.

My recent ex (he just broke up with me) left work because nag med siya. Eto naman, 6 months palang kami, lagpas 100k na gastos ko sa kanya para sa mga outing namin, groceries niya, kain sa labas, etc.

What's more annoying...the relationship ends just before they get jobs...HAYYYYY. Para akong batang mama-san!!! Nakakainis talaga, pero grabe ako mag-alaga ng boyfriend. Kaya the best thing that happens to me kapag nakikipagbreak is yumayaman ako hahaha...

Just this weekend...my recent ex, si med student, invited me for dinner. Ako naman go, syempre gusto ko pa rin i-please, kumain kami sa mamahaling restaurant....3k din nagastos ko huhu.

sis grabe naman saklap naman yan! yung med student mo nag invite ng dinner, ikaw pa din nagbayad  :o

Sis naalala ko tuloy ec ko when we were law students before. We worked hard to become a lawyer and nung sabay kami naging lawyer, and we had jobs na, ibang babae nakinabang! LOL  ;D ;D

1. Credit cards - 3 naging credit cards ko nung nasa pinas pa ko. Swipe dito swipe doon, shopping every weekend, cash advance din minsan pag kinulang pang tuition ng kapatid until na maxout ko silang lahat (hsbc - 26k, metrobank - 23k, citibank 64k). Buti nalang nag abroad ako I was able to settle them after few months. Ngayon isang credit card nalang sa pinas mine maintain ko,para pag umuuwi ako. I have 5 credit cards dito sa singapore but I'm proud to say i am wiser na sa pag handle. I always pay in full before th due date. Ako na kumikita sa cc companies ang dami kasing perks dito pag cc holder. i learned my lesson na din earlier kaya never na akong mag sswipe pag di ko afford. Nakakastress e!

2. Libre sa friends/relatives - mabilis akong makantyawan! Feeling ko kasi jumejerbs ako ng pera e kaya oo sige lang.. Ngayon kuripot na ko. Occassional nalang manlibre hehe..

3. Gadgets - minsan trip ko lang makiuso, like bumili ako ng ipad kahit may iphone na ko. Ngayon naiisip ko sana ininvest ko nalng sa mutual fund yung pinambili ko.

4. Mumurahin at pangit na bedsheet - feeling ko money mistake to. Dapat pala nag invest na ko before sa magandang quality kasi 8 hours (and up!) ng buhay ko sa isang araw e nasa kama ako. Mahilig kasi ako sa murang murang halaga, kaso narealize ko hindi naman ako comfortable kasi ang gaspang. Nung nakatikim ang balat ko ng may quality iba talaga yung comfort na binigay e. LOL. I ended up giving away the rough bedsheets. kung inipon ko sana dapat yung pinambili ko dun..

low quality na gamit - madali masira kahit mura so sayang din sa pera.. tsk tsk..

we have a small lending business. d din ako nagpapautang doon sa relatives. pag sa relatives bigay ka na lang talaga ng kaya mong ibigay. because for us who have nice relatives, they will do the same thing pag tayo naman nangailangan.

during my college days, sinuntok ko yung guy classmate ko. ayun sa lakas ng suntok ko, nabitawan niya ang cellphone nya. Eh mamahalin pa naman yun. Nasira ang LCD. I paid 3 thousand pesos to him para sa pagpapagawa. For a student that time, 3 thousand pesos is a big amount. Anyway, I learned my lesson.

Buying impulsively things that I don't really need. In the end, they are just there in my cabinet accumulating space.

Not saving too early. I've only started saving last year. Kung nag-ipon sana ako noon pa lang, di sana mas marami akong savings ngayon at mas financially free ako.
Just because I laugh a lot doesn't mean my life is easy. Just because I have a smile on my face everyday doesn't mean that something is not bothering me. I just choose to move on and not dwell on all the negatives in my life.

nagpautang sa friend tapos ngayon panay na iwas. di na sinasagot phone pag tumatawag ako para maningil.. nakakapanggigil! ang nakakainis pa panay project na mayaman.. pero di naman marunong magbayad ng utang! designer bags parati ang lola at pag nagkwento kesyo ininvest daw kase sa multimillion business. She reminds me of the birkins scammer!
