Habits that keeps you POOR

Happy Sabado De Gloria to all Filipinos out there minna, for my today's article I will give you some tips to make your life with easy living and the habits that will make you think to stop to save and earn somehow. Actually these habits for sure you are all quite familiar with it. May be I was not the one who did this kind of habits, some of us but not generally speaking. Let's now start first thing and foremost, I will be gladly if you read this article with full attention and will make sure that you get enough message to my article.

1. Alcohol

Whose here does not drink alcohol? Who are amongst here still not taste the sweetness of wine? Have you ever thought to not drink alcohol to save some of your money? Or you just want to drink alcohol because you want to celebrate something? It's either a birthday party or any other occasions. It is not bad to drink alcohol or wine because I did it occasionally hehe but for some people who makes the alcohol like a water, I tell you what, stop doing like that, alcohol is not that good in anybody's health. Your money is as valuable as your life: how so? We cannot live without the money, money is part of our necessity to be exact. Stop buying too much alcohol just because you think it's right and you think it makes you happy, just save some of your money and earn by not wanting to drink too much of alcohol.

2. Smokes

Same goes to this one, actually I'm kinda undecided which one has the most bad effects to human's health and which one is the most habits that we humans are having. So I made the alcohol to be on the top, not because I love drinking more than smoking. Yep, I do smokes, I do drinks, to be honest, I always drink whenever I am happy or sad, whenever I am frustrated or not, but I don't smoke too much, I only consume for 3-4 sticks of cigarettes for a week. But if you smokes 1-2 packs a day, what do you think will happen? You are not just wasting your money for you own desire, you surely will waste your money for your hospital bills for later scenario. I am not stopping you for your own desire but just think about it even just a little, you can smoke but not too much, save some of your money, imagine your 6$ if you just smokes a small amount of cigarettes you can save 4-5$ a day or a week.

3. Gambling

Does anyone think that gambling is a bad habit? My intuition said nah, actually we thinks that gambling are goods because we can win more than the money we had, we can earn more than the money we earned, but what if the bad luck is in the way? Does anyone still thinks gambling is good? Actually I, myself once in the situation were I bet all the money I've had in the casino, I was addicted to the point I forgot what my real purpose are. So when I got nothing left, I regret, I regret for what I did, imagine, I only realized that after I lose all the money. Just think of it as a lesson, but sometimes, some gambler are not easy to give up, they wanted some sweet revenge and get the money back to them, but you were just in the win-lose situation, you cannot predict anything, you might think you'll win if you try again but you might as well lose again. Just stop and enough for your desire to win as you cannot tell what will happen next.

4. Needs over Wants

Which one you think is most important in life? Was it your needs? Or was it your wants? People now a days were prioritizing the wants instead of needs. Just because we want to be in to the new era and wanted to be in some so called "uso". We forgot what is necessary and what are your needs in life. We just want to flex something new and after that, we are quite tired to that thing we bought after the flexing. What about the money you earn for almost half a year just to buy that desires of yours? Don't you think its too much for yourself just because you want to be in to the new class world? I didn't asks you to stop from doing that but please, know your limit and know your situation, isn't it better for you to just keep the money and save for it for the future than to buy the things that you only want, so others start to envy you? Save more than you needed to, that will be the answer to buy your wants in the future.

5. Eating out Daily

I am not saying that eating out is the bad habit of us, but daily? Seriously? Are your parents billionaires? Treating everyone outside daily? Wow, that's kind of a bit you know. Actually, I myself hate doing that since I am introvert, I always said to my friends that we should eat to my house, and will cook for them. That's a more way to save some money than to eat outside daily. I may be smoke and drink some alcohol but I don't eat outside that much. I can cook something which some high class restaurant cook, I'm not boasting myself but I am independent woman since 5, you can try me if you want haha. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to eat outside just because they asked you to treat them, it is not that bad to say no for the good reason.

Remember: think before you act as you cannot tell the future. The money you earn from working hard, spend it wisely or save it for the better future. Don't withhold yourself to earn it'll help you real big time in the future. :)
