How much is your net worth?

[showermist]

a 7digit figure.  and i just turned 31 3 wks ago.  and to think 6yrs back, di namin alam kung saan namin kukunin ang susunod na isasaing namin

[charmed_chic]

^wow sis! how wish ganyan din ako.. the type that when you look back, you'll imagine how hard was it..

[blush_blush]

^^wow sis, galing naman. hehe

[showermist]

^^ and ^

naranasan ko kasi yung kahirapan na yun. yun ang nagmotivate sa akin ng husto.  kung may magagawa naman ako, bakit di ko pa ibigay ng todo ang kakayahan ko.  ganyan na ako mag isip noon.

totoong, time is money.

[stormy]

^i like your post sis totoong totoo at nakakainspire

[rhumbafrapp]

i like this thread, it inspires me. Im turning 24 soon. I think decent naman na naipon ko for someone my age, but i will still strive  harder to ipon some more.

Alam ko din yun pakiramdam to have financial burdens when my mom got sick and passed away 7 years ago, total wipeout pera namin, utang utang pa. Buti now nakakarecover na kami somehow.

Bigla tuloy ako napaisip sa mga branded bags ko, ano ba worth  nila in terms of pesoses?  hehe

Will list down nga. Thanks for this thread, it reminded me to "check".

[Joycy]

I'm priceless to those who loves me...and worthless to those who don't. 

Seriously, hindi ko alam. I'm living within my means but i'm way way behind my age group. 

[FD]

tama yan... save as much as you you habang maaga pa.. 

if your thinking of selling it, ang lam ko mahal yun mga branded na bags lalo na kapag di gaanong ginamit.. mas mahal ang value.

^^ I think I'm behind my age group too. How do you know ba if you're more or less on par with people in your age group? Meron bang standard  of how much you're supposed to have by the time you're this age, or that age? I'm turning 30 soon, not super soon, pero hindi na ako early or mid twenties. Mwahaha. I am by no means financially stable, although I think I have enough to last me 6 months, even a year, in case I suddenly lose my job. But that's it. I don't have significant investments. Oh well.

^I read somewhere that you're supposed to be earning 4x your age. I know, only a handful of 30 year olds are earning P120,000 a month but I think you're supposed to work towards that and hopefully achieve that by the time you're 40. Well, that's how I interpreted it.

Like (parang FB neh?)

i admire you. sana mai-share mo sa amin yung ginawa mo...kung puwede lang naman hehe)

[luckypal]

^ ako rin same as showermist

[gleek]

me naman, the assets I have right now are mostly coming from the hardwork of my parents. I am only child so I am striving hard to have some assets that come from my own earnings..

Right now, I have 5-figure savings and 4-figure earnings coming from the business I just started (the money of the business is separated).

I am turning 23 years old on december..

sis! galing naman! we're almost same of age but i have 0.00 savings..although I have assets naman..

this thread inspires and remind me the importance of saving
(ouch)

besides from being the breadwinner since I started working, I easily get distracted kasi. (hello shopping,eating out,movies,travelling etc)

although wala naman masama mag enjoy , I really have to stick on budget.

I remember when I was in college, super liit ng allowance ko pero I had a goal to go shopping every weekend and I was able to achieve it. 

[charmed_chic]

^thanks sis! good to know that I become an inspiration to you.

really this thread inspires us and reminds us how important saving is. I've come to realize this also (although dapat matagal na but reality bites talaga) when I stopped asking money from my parents, and boy! that was so hard. I don't know where to get the next money I'm going to spend for my essentials. I still go watch movies and eat sa labas but lessen my shopping escapades na.

Though ngayon, I still have a 4-figure earnings from the business (umiikot pa kasi ang puhunan). But, that's ok.. At least I know how to fend myself na. I'm hoping na sa susunod na taon, dumami pa earnings ko..

eto rin gusto ko malaman. maski range lang..

this slogan is from a BPI commercial but I find this phrase very relevant...

"To live the life we want does not depend on what we have, its what you do with what you have"


So it doesn't really matter if you earn six or even seven figures a month if you spend carelessly.  remember, even billionaires get sick, even empires crumble.

LIVE THE BEST LIFE YOU DESERVE AND LIVE IT THE BEST YOU CAN POSSIBLY HAVE

^i agree.

Mahirap mag peg ng monetary amt as worth/certain age. D lahat nabibigyan ng oportunidad, d lahat parehas ang responsibilities at obligasyon sa buhay. Sarili na lang makakapagdetermine if tama yung naiipon or napupundar sa edad nya. Nakakastress magkumpara kasi wag lang tamad at gastador makakaipon at makakaipon yan.

[m_lim]

i love it helencons! thank you

sis very well said! kaya ako when i feel disappointed na parang wala ako savings,i just think of what I have achieved so far,people I have helped w/what I have. but it also help to be reminded of my long term goals like what this thread has done to me. (naisip ko gumawa ng effective na budget for next year lol)wag go lang ng go sa paggastos! 

[mooncake and leaves]

I like this thread too because it depresses me in a good way. Lol. If I'm supposed to base it on how much I'm earning, patay, talo. Savings lang panlaban ko and even that di ako super proud kasi I'm not very savvy. Even my Dad is disappointed in me. I'm super short of what I'm supposed to have saved by now. Nakakastress isipin. I was calculating too, iniisip ko where I can cut, di ko pa din mahabol target savings ko.
