"Kapag may sinuksok, may madudukot"

(If you save something, you will have something in return)

It is also almost like planting for a harvest. When you put something in your savings, you get something when you need it. If you only know how to spend, do not expect to have in return. It's like those trendy customer cards that you insert points in every transaction.

"Kapag maikli ang kumot, matutong bumaluktot"

(If the blanket is short, learn to bend)

Do not spend the money you do not have. In short, when in need, do not insist. During online shopping and various sales and promotions, it is easy to be enticed to use a credit card or borrow just for luxury.

The usual loophole: I will pay next month. The question: did you pay?

One of the coolest money-saving tips, avoid debt. You will not be able to start saving until you are in debt. Your ending, will bend because of the size of the interest.

"Ang kita sa bula, sa bula rin mawawala"

If someone approaches you and promises to earn you ten thousand a hundred in three days, do not believe. Maybe one way, just go to nothing. Remember that everything that will bring pure happiness, you have to work hard.

"Ang hindi napagod magtipon, hindi nanghihinayang magtapon"

(The one who is not tired of gathering, does not regret throwing)

"Daig nang maagap ang masipag"

(The early bird catches the worm)

The early bird catches the worm. That is, if you want to succeed, start early. It feels like aging too. As long as you are early and physically fit and have many opportunities to work, save up. After all, when you are old, no matter how hard you work, you may lack energy and time.

"Ubos ubos biyaya, pagkatapos nakatutunganga"

(I don't know what is this in english, sorry. If you can translate it to English, do it for me. HAHA 😅✌️)

There are Filipinos who are called one day millionaires. Is that the type, money just goes through the palm of your hand. The salary of a month of hard work, can be spent in just one night. Filipino traditions such as the festival where the neighbors are proud, should not be relied on for just a drop in wages. Learn to plan and approach.

"Ang umaayaw ay hindi nag wawagi"

(The one who refuses does not win)

What, have you given up? It is not easy to save. You need discipline, long-suffering, and patience. Instead of watching a movie or buying a new bag, just stock up. Isn't it hard? Especially if you always think you deserve it and reward yourself. Remember that you also deserve a comfortable life without worrying about where to get basic necessities.
