Money-Smart-Me

It is never too early to teach myself to make sound of financial decisions. This will prepare me for financial success as an adult.

Piggy Bank: I always encourage myself to put aside a set amount of money everyday.

Value of Things: Honestly, I don’t shop that much. I only buy things that I surely needed and when my mom and sisters says so. I think I should start thinking about Quality vs. Price.

Allowance: Out of P250/day (that’s P1000 for 4 days), I have a set amount to keep. Actually, I don’t know how to prioritize and make better spending decisions as long as I have money left (so that’s what my problem is).

Simple Goals: Money for transportation and food; books of course!

Make Fun: In an interesting way, I go to malls if I have spare time. I don’t shop! Strolling makes it easy to make fun. And without discipline… go to gigs! (with parents consent.)
