blackgreen, aside sa savings/emergency funds, anong uitf nakalagay yung mga funds nyo? yung pang 3-5 years? or money market fund rin?

^money market lahat sis. Ang may long term kami stocks and mutual fund. Kulang pala yun nasabi ko kanina. Stocks and mutual fund yun investment fund namin. Actually etong investment fund namin galing pa to nung single pa kami. Hindi pa nga namin napa consolidate sa COL.

stocks fund
savings fund
realestate fund
discretionary fun/emergency fund
parents fund


ang hirap maghandle ng finance. Minsan nahahalo halo ko yung mga funds. Kaya lahat nililista ko para maayos.

I ended up giving my husband the responsibility of budgeting, lol. After our wedding, we planned our monthly expenses, and asked him if okay lang na sya ang humawak ng common fund namin, because he is more strict with money in a way. We ended up splitting our bills - car and home mortgage, sa income nya galing, while baby fund and our monthly allowance, sa akin. Groceries and food budget, share kami 50/50. The rest will be savings and emergency fund.

Ako lahat humahawak. Pero I have this notebook where I write all the gastos and savings. I also 'report' sa kanya a day or two after he transferred his salary to our joint account.
