Hello, everyone. πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€

Share ko lang po ang aking Ipon Journey kung paano ako nakapag-ipon ng P100,000+ at the age of 20.

3rd year college student po ako sa isang state university.

As a student, mahirap po talaga makaipon dahil maliit lang din naman ang allowance na ibabudget sa loob ng isang linggo, lalo na't maraming gastusin sa kolehiyo.

Natuto po akong mag-ipon nung High school palang ako na nadala ko hanggang college na.

So ito po ung mga tips ko on how to save and earn money for students like me na nasa High School or College palang. Pwede din po sa mga may trabaho na.

Tip No. 1:

Matutong Magtipid/ Be Trifty

"Don't live beyond your means"

Madaming ways jan kung paano makakatipid. Magbaon ng tubig at pagkain. Maglakad kung papasok sa school. Learn to say "No" din sa mga kaibigan na nag-aayang kumain sa fastfood.

Monitor your Expenses. Eto ung ultimate savings Formula.

"Allowance - Savings = Expenses"

Tip No. 2:

Set a Savings/Financial Goal

Sakin, nililista ko sa notebook ko kung magkano ung goal kong maipon sa target date ko. Effective to kasi machachallenge ka talaga. Madami ding mga Ipon Challenge ang sinubukan ko na.

"Set a goal that is challenging but realistic."

"Don't just set your goals. Work hard to achieve it."

Tip No. 3:

Open A Savings Account

Nag-open ako ng savings account sa BPI nung may naipon na ako galing sa ipon challenge ko. Dun ko hinulog kasi baka magastos ko siya.

Tip No. 4:

Find a Source of Income

Tatlo ang sources ko kung saan ako nakakakuha ng pera- Allowance, Business Profits (nagloload po ako sa mga classmates ko), and Scholarships.

Tip No. 5:

Reward Yourself

Hindi masama na itreat mo ung sarili mo lalo na kung alam mong nareach mo na ung goal mong ipon. Pero huwag to the point na mauubos na ung savings mo.

Always Remember!

"Madaling Gumastos,

Pero Mahirap Mag-Ipon."

Ito po ang next savings goal ko:

200,000 pesos at the end of year 2020.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Writer's Note:

Thank you. Sana may na'inspire kahit papaano. Dapat matuto na tayong magtipid at magtabi ng pera para kapag nagkaroon ng emergency, at mayroon tayong perang madudukot. πŸ™†

Okay lang na walang ipon as long as nakakapagbayad ng utang. Para kapag wala ka ng utang, pwede ka ng mag-ipon. Hehe :)

I agree to some of the ways listed. Especially yung Allowance-savings-expenses. I highly believe in that. However, I am confused with one thing. ScholarshipS (plural? meaning more than one?) as one of your source of income? How'd that happen. Cause I think it supposedly go direct to the school or if not, the amount granted should be exactly what your tuition is. I'm not really sure that's why I am confused.

There are a lot of scholarships from the Government that is given to public and private students in our province. Right now, I only have one existing scholarship as it really is not allowed to have more than one. And in that scholarship, they give out stipend, as we don't have to pay for tuition fees anymore.

Wow. Just wow. Here I am, 21 years old with empty bank accounts lol! Kidding aside, your article inspired me to really value the concept of saving. I don't spend too much in what I want. I make sure I need it before I buy it. I also have a scholarship with DOST. I'll try to be thrifty enough. Thank for this!

Wow. Being a DOST scholar means something. And I believe they give out higher amount of money for their scholars. Hehe good luck in saving and I hope my tips will help you. :)

It is really great to see some young kids that do really know how to save and spend wisely the money they have. One thing is that saying β€œDon’t live beyond your means” there are some cases you really can’t apply that especially if it is really something important that you need. Anyone has their own way and own perspective in life, what matters the most is that you succeed and achieve your goal in life taking note that you always do the good thing and you are not affecting other people.

I agree po. Hehe But my point on living beyond your means is actually wasting your money on unimportant things. But if you used your money on something that is important and you need it, that is not considered living beyond your means. Yes, just do your thing and be good always. :)

β€œliving beyond their meansβ€œ, means that they are spending more money than they can afford. My uncle said that I shouldn’t buy a laptop that I cannot afford which costs 40,000 pesos. My purpose is to spend that high amount for me to use for a long period of time. I am an IT student and I know about computers and what laptop should I choose. That’s why I decided to take on that laptop which offers the best specs and offers the best price where you can also upgrade your storage and ram which will be useful in the near future when your laptop is already loaded with some big files. My point is that sometimes we cannot expect those things and we also need help from others , we also need some more extra money for us to survive and use it for our family or loved ones.

I understand your point. But if that money was used for something that you need as a student, and you know that you can still benefit from it even if the time passes, then you should consider it as an investment. :) I myself have spent more in the middle of pandemic, because I built my own house already. My relatives think it is living beyond my means, but I consider it as a good investment. So in your case, it's just fine. :)

Baka ung Tertiary Education Subsidiary ung sinasabi mo na random picking. Hehe nag'apply din kasi ako doon noon, kaya lang di din ako mapalad na mapili. Kaya nag'apply ulit ako sa ibang scholarship na government din ang pumupundo. Same amount of stipend din. Haha Try mo mag'apply baka meron sa provincial government niyo.
