How I Managed To Live A Thrifty Life

yang "link in bio" talaga na message sa tiktok ang pasimuno ng lahat! Hahaha dami na ang nabudol dyan kahit si FB mapa kibot ka lang ng search maya maya may pa ads na.

Pero tama naman yung naishare mo, if di naman needed talaga wag muna bilhin. Think multiple times.

Great job here Sydney2

Oftentimes we thought we saved money from sales but the truth is, we spend more especially kung hindi naman natin kailangan yung product.

I agree! I cannot deny na may pagka materialistic ako but mas nangunguna yung self-discipline ko kasi mas alam ko na ngayon kung gaano kahirap kumita and it's better na unahin yung needs kaysa sa wants na panandaliang saya lang naman.

Need vs want talaga. Pero reward yourself sometimes din hehe

Ganito rin madalas yung ginagawa ko, unless kailangan ko talagang maglabas ng pera at bumili ng mga necessities.

One thing I like about myself is that, no matter the hype and discounted price, If I'm not buying I'm not buying. That's how it works for me. I've seen people that keep buying what they don't need at that particular period because the price is attractive or the hype is high

These days, people need to tighten their belts... Mahal na ang lahat

This is an interesting post, Sydney. Many people do not know what they want from what they need because they are always driven by the hype in society. One skill we must have to be able to control ourselves from spending unnecessarily is "Self Discipline". We have to have this skill and keep practising it so we would be saved from buying what isn´t necessary.

As for me ate, i have parents (specifically my dad) extremely matipid and at times, kuripot na talaga HAHAHA we can afford things pero matipid talaga sila.

and so i adapted that mindset from them, na think twice bago bumili, ect. how to manage money and everything and I'm kinda thankful to that kase I'm able to save/spend money wisely

I always get mad if I see a sale on any brand and later regret buying and wasting my money on things I don't even want I badly want to change this habit

Hi Sydney! How's your read and noise going? That's what I also feel sometimes. If stuffs add to your good intention and feeling and it's your money don't let that guiltiness rob you of the blessings you are about to enjoy or share.

Minsan mafefeel mo din na it's because of guilt from greed na sa sobrang tipid e naubos na pala lahat ng yaman o ipon natin, either because we want to portray and impress others over ourselves or naiinggit tayo sa iba. Discerning our intentions and desires is always a pro. When you feel it and its not harming, go enjoy mo lang yang binili mo hehe.

This is brilliant, Sydney. A lot of people are driven by the hype which allows them fall into unnecessary problems that could have been avoided. Everything in life calls for discipline and a disciplined life can achieve way much more than they can ever imagine.

We are kinda same, i do prefer needs and control my wants like i don't have my own mobile since you know what happened but I'm not buying it coz it's my want not my need ATM.

I also don't believe or go crazy for monthly discounted on brands etc they just make money

I literally never spent money buying something because of hype and influenced by anyone, don't even have tiktok.

Our thoughts are same in this matter like i can relate with the whole point of view.

Ganyan rin yung mindset ko pero may times na need mo talaga bilhin yung mga desires mo. Yung kapatid ko nga lang, one day millionaire kasi gastos ng gastos. Nakareceive lang ng 600, akala kung sino na mayaman. Kapag tinatamad ako maggrind, bumibili ako ng mga gamit para sipagin ako haha.

I'm not materialistic when it comes to self-clothes and even what I wear. But honestly, I am fond of buying tools when it was sales. Well, I also compute things when I believe and compare the original price and the picture price. Sometimes 50% difference makes me doubt. But yeah, look closely and not be part of the hype. Wait, the following year, the price show showed a lower difference, hehe.
