Re savings pa din -sabi nila, save daw while you're still young! Eh, di ba enjoy life din dapat while still young?  ;D Atsaka independent talaga kame ni hubz eversince, no mana na aasahan or anyone who can help financially. So sarili sikap kumbaga! And mas masarap yun, kase nephews and neices - idol daw kame!  ;)

Rata - korek on CC bills!

Lisa - it's okay kahit paycheck to paycheck sis, basta happy!  :)

On savings - I think kami naman ni husband, we really save para sa mga bata.  Ayaw kasi namin na umasa sa parents ko or mga kapatid ko if something happens to any or both of us (knock on wood).  Gusto namin, makapag aral sila ng tuloy tuloy.  I guess that's why rin kumuha kami ng kumuha ng insiurance, lalo na husband ko. Kasi even before we got married, madami na ako insurance, ang beneficiary ko nga lang eh mga pamangkin ko haha.

Maussie - yan na din ang next goal! saving for Project bahay and saving for Y. Pero mukhang next year pa ang project bahay kase kulang pa na-save na pang DP (townhouse ito), so yung VUL muna for Y. Upcoming gastos naman is yung birthday lang ni Y, I hope yun na nga lang ;) Wala din kame ibang aasahan kundi mga sarili namin and super ma-PRIDE kame both. Ayaw namin nagpapatulong kaya dapat may mahugot anytime kelangan. My pregnancy expense, di din biro, pero buti nakapag-save kame nung wala pa si Y. Supposedly DP na yun for a townhouse, kaso change in plan. But thank goodness! kundi, wala kame kakapain! LOL

Actually pwede na namin i-save ang panggastos sa birthday ni Y, kaso tagal din namin hinintay kaya gora na!  ;D Pera naman namin and wala naman kami hinihingi sa kamag-anak! Pero sana may magpresinta as sponsor...LOL!  ;D

AFPSLAI kaylangan nakapangalan talaga sa sundalo no, hindi yung join lang kung sino...
Yan din mantra ko on credit card bill, ayokong ayoko na hindi nababayaran ng buo kasi kakahinayang talaga yung interest-- yumayaman bangko! Nung dalaga ko, naranasan ko yan na pang-min amount lang kaya kong bayaran kaya nung na-close ko lahat, learned my lessons the hard way... never again!!!

Rata, yan ang reason kung bakit gusto namin sa ngayon puro vul ang kunin kasi for b talaga. Sa tingin ko nga don mapupunta whatever extra money we have.

Pero kami basta hindi kami umuutang ng di kayang bayaran, ok naman kami. Pero ayaw ko na kasing mangyari yung nangyari nung nanganak ako. Dahil wala kaming savings, for a time di namin alam laano babayaran hospital fees. Kaya gusto ko ng forced savings. Na-mention ko before magaling kami magbayad pero di kami marunong magtabi. By for ed savings, gusto ko yung hindi accessible na pwedeng iwithdraw agad agad. Kaya gusto ko sana mf. But people discourage us kasi wala kaming nung 6 months na savings. So chicken and egg.

Lisa - yan talaga ang nasa puso at isip namin! ang wag umutang ng di kayang bayaran! importante ang good credit standing kay hubs!  ;D

Re MF - kaya di muna ako nakikisali sa usapang MF kase ano naman i MF ko? LOL! pag completo rekado na lang kame, meaning with our own house etc na! anyway, young couple pa lang naman kame (5 years, young pa naman di ba? LOL)  ;D 6 months contingency, kung isasama ko ang iniipon namin na pang DP house, pwede na! kaso that is not counted, kahit sang anggulo kase nga renting kame now...not so wise!  ;D But I really want a VUL so badly kase sabe niyo nga covered na ang life insurance, I want to protect Y if anything happens  ;)

Lisa - maybe what you can do is open an account where you cannot easily withdraw money.  Sa case ng husband ko, ako lang may access sa transient savings account namin, so para sa kanya, wala yung account na yun. So, ako lang talaga nakakatouch nun.  I think there are bank accounts na may ganung arrangement, you cannot withdraw just just.  ;)  Tama rin yung hindi umuutang na hindi nyo mabayaran, that makes sure na you live within your means.  Maganda din kasi meron kayong liquid na savings for emergency fund.  Meron kami nyan in various banks.  Like yung isa, not so accessible sa akin kaya most likely hindi ko matouch yun haha.  But it earns an interest higher than ordinary savings account.

Yung 6 months na contingency na yan, ano bang reason bakit 6 months? At iba iba ang sweldo ng bawat tao so bakit based on monthly salary siya? Bakit mas ok ang ganon kesa say 500k saved in the bank? Sa totoo lang kasi hirap kami na paabutin ng 6 months yung amount.

Yung mga may 6 months na contingency, how long did it take you to save up that amount?

Rata, yung savings account nga ni b passbook lang at di namin in-enrol sa expressonline para di magalaw talaga. Ano bang banks ang may ganon na di ganon kadali magwithdraw?

3rd page na agad ng thread 12, nawala lang ako sandali?

maussie, narinig ko nga yang story about suicide of clinical psychologists. what is sun life maxi one? is it a vul? pwede pa email ng info/brochure if meron ka? gusto ko na din magforced savings for K. i don't have much of savings din eh kaya kelangan ko ng paglalagyan ng pera na di accessible kunin anytime. plan ko nga sana i-deposit muna sa time deposit na ITF ni K eh kaya lang if meron mapapalagyan na mas maganda interest, the better. or maybe i should start with this muna as an emergency fund para liquid? or i should open a separate account for my emergency fund since the TD is supposed to be savings for K?

grayce, who is your childhood bff?

marcia, makakatravel pa kaya si A and V on august sa HK? pano na ang princess aurora costume ni K? LOL joke!

jai, my pimple hurts! as in kahapon pako bothered dito. mahapdi siya and minsan makati. tapos kagabi, nasapak na naman ni K. hay! di ko na alam gagawin dito. para na siyang nainfect. para akong si popeye pag nagssmile. hirap din ako magchew and magsalita since namamaga yung baba ko. ikaw? ano gamot nilalagay mo?

sam, magastos talaga sa LPP board! kaya ang tagal ko na di pumupunta jan.

lia, yehey! abot tayo labor day sale.

lisa, it has to do with your lifestyle kasi. you spend proportionally with how much you earn*. so it works or safe assumption na 6months x your salary. tapos 6 months kasi parang yun yung norm, tipong di naman siguro lalampas ang 6 months before you can find a new job.

tanong mo kay M yung turo ng economics teacher namin (na cutie) haha ;D "marginal propensity to save" :P

Weng, ok that makes sense.

Si M wag nang asahan sa ganyan kasi mas magastos yon kesa sa akin. :(

Good luck dyan sa 6 months na yan. Cinompute ko kanina magkano. Nalula ako.

Kim, injection lang ng steroid ang katapat ng pimple mo. :)  Or you can wait for nature to take its course and tiis muna.

Lisa, kapag naka-TD hindi madali mag-withdraw.  Ang mga TD namin nasa bank na wala dito sa building para iwas sa temptation. 

Econ graduate ako haha pero hindi ko na-apply sa buhay ko ang principles.

^yep hindi madaling mag withdraw.. pero pwede pa din in case of emergency..nangyari na samin to nung nanganak ako.. hindi ko ineexpect na ganun kalaki gagastusin namin so we had to take it from the TD :( . may minimal fee lang na babayaran.

gusto ko din malaman kung san best ilagay ang emergency fund hahaha... kumikita ng mas malaking interest pero liquid.. in a way na hindi mo kelangan mag antay ng ilang taon/buwan bago mawithdraw.. like pag need mo bukas.. pwede.. :)

Jen, by the way, feast day ni St. Pio tomorrow.  I am planning to leave the office early so I can attend the 5 pm Mass to be officiated by Bishop Bacani.  May Mass din at 12 noon with Fr. Odon, I think.

jai and marose, hindi kaya mahapdi mga yan? kasi as it is now, mahapdi na siya and masakit. wala bang topical ointment or cream?

same question as jai. san best ilagay ang emergency fund na mataas ang interest pero liquid?

i agree with marose sa TD na wala sa building. halos nakalimutan ko na nga na may inopen ako na account for K. although maliit lang naman na amount yun but the fact remains na effective siya for me. :)
