Saving Tips Pinoy Style

[brokus]

"have both trading account abroad and pinas..." what do you use for trading abroad?

hi, i am based abroad and my local bank has web platform for trading and investing directly with NYSE and TSX, its similar to COL but has more options since all etfs, MFs, index funds, bonds etc. in the country can be bought online too, very convenient, i must say...

for the money I have in Pinas, I use COL naman... :-)

1. I used to have a transpo going to and from my work. Nagkaproblem kaya tinigil ko na and nagtataxi na lang ako. It helped me save actually kase lagi naman may promos ang taxi dito. Bale nagtataxi na lang ako papasok sa work and naglalakad na lang pauwi ng house. 15 to 20 minutes walking yun and hindi naman hassle coz the weather is still nice and I need to lose weight too.

2. We lessened our eating out sessions. Dati rati mga 3x to 4x a week kami kumakain sa labas pero ngayon mga once every two weeks na lang. Haha.

3. Kapag nasa grocery or mall, me and my husband always ask ourselves if we really need the item. If we don't, then we don't buy. Even if nakasale pa yun.

My family and I checked in in a five-star hotel so that my mom would experience being in a hotel and she did enjoy the ambience.

To save, we bought food outside. We got to eat the meal that we like for a fraction of the food in the hotel which blew me away. Seriously. Why is a bottled water so expensive?
