Hi everyone ! Happy Tuesday. I hope you are all doing great amidst the crisis we are facing. And I do hope and pray that you are blessed and happy with your love ones. Let's not forget to cherish them everyday of our life and let them feel important and love. Anyways so much about it. Today, I just wanted to share to you how I have spent my 1 BCH that I have shared to you in the previous article. Many of you thought that I still have my 1 BCH in tact with me but to tell you it was already spent but I called it a well spent 1BCH. Lets get started.

Yes, I would not be ashamed to say but also not proud of it but yes my phone is still under monthly payment. It's a year credit and I started paying for it on April and would end by the next year. And I already shared to you here that I don't have stable job yet. So where did I get my monthly payment? It's here. My earnings here and noise. So, every month I allotted 900 pesos for the phone. It is just 800 for the phone since it would undergone few extra payment so I need to exceed from the payment amount. Don't judge me with this, I know I can afford to buy a phone through cash even before but it's not my priority way back and I am hesitant to buy such huge amount for a phone not until I realize I do need one which have high specs but then can't afford to buy one because I don't have work anymore. So, I took a home credit with a help from my close friend. I never regretted this because without this phone I couldn't earn here and read you all. So imagine April and today is September how many months did I actually spent for the payment of the phone from my earnings here. So, it's really a well spent BCH for me.
Of course I can't use my phone and interact you all without internet that is why I do need money for the monthly load expenses. And where do I get it? It's still here. I prefer monthly 299 load than weekly because I could save lot more plus I can't consume all my data and I could still add it to my next subscription. 24 GB is a lot for me to use in 1 month so I absolutely save a lot more. With 300 pesos I could use it for YouTube, Facebook, here and in noise for one month. Yes. That's the only platform I visited every now and then. I didn't put any games to my phone intentionally for my nephews to not touch my phone and for me as well to not get addicted to any of it.
It was an emergency for her and we couldn't borrow from anyone else. And that time as well I don't have any cash so I decided to lend her my earnings from here. I just tell her to wait. We are close with each other and I know it was one of her dream but she had no salary yet that time. So, I help her out because that's what's friends for right ? Helping each other in times of needs.
My bf wanted to start a small investment to himself and his money isn't capable of starting that's why he asked some help from me. Of course, I lend some to him. I would love to support him in his small investment and maybe soon would love to invest too. I did allotted few of my earnings with his plan since he asked me this few weeks before he would start his investment. And now I am happy to know that it's quite a success. I just hope and pray that God will continue to bless us because it's one of our plan together and I just love how he put it into life.
We are in the middle of fixing the house and we don't have anything literally no penny even for a garlic or coffee since father is fixing the house he did not earn anything for the family within that week. That's why I cash out unexpectedly my earnings from here for us to have something to spend for the week. I thanks God I had a part-time job that week as well that sustain our needs for the next week to come. It's a matter of helping out in the family because you are family and things is better if you work together as a family. If one can't provide the needs it's good to lend help sometimes and provode the families needs. It's good to unburden parents struggles sometimes. I know it's not that big but to see that it somewhat lighten the burden and the worries at home I feel like I am not a total useless crap just wait for what's the meal everytime.
This was the most high cash out that I had in my earnings here. It goes to the family and to my personal use. Some of it spend for the goods and supply for the house and other greater quantity was for the fixing of our kitchen area in the house. Actually this amount is allotted for the fixing but then I wanted to give myself a sort of reward as well from working hard for it. A small self pampering. The kitchen was really needed some repair because the rain will pour and make the kitchen wet and dirty since it's not cemented as well when it's raining hard because the roof was all old and lots of hole in it poured so much rain inside the house. Plus the kitchen is open and the wind always makes us hard time when it's windy day. I needed to work for it because BER months is here and we all know these months is accommodated by a long rainy season that would extend more than we expect it in its season.
I would love to share to you our kitchen sooner when it's done. And would like to show how it change a lot. Though it's not that luxurious but at least I create a big difference from before. And I lessen the struggles and uncomfortable the family had to bare.
As much as I love to save these earnings but it is highly needed and it goes to a much better used so I prefer spending it for the things that is very important and matters to me. Money could be earn and I don't like just watching my family needs. With this earnings as well I was able to feel some sense of purpose because I could provide and lend some help to the people I love. I know it's not much but it create big difference. This platform is really a huge help to me and to all of us here who is struggling financially. As much I would go in vain because of the money that supposedly saved as planned but I had never feel that way. For me it is well spent and very much productive.
To all who are sad and demotivated to continue because of unrealized goal. I want to remind you all that there is much greater goal that the Lord restored for us. If you could just see clearly the small unplanned things and how it create huge difference in your life. You would be amaze. You may not realized it but unplanned and unplotted things that goes in between your goals are necessary for the goals to be reached.
I want to remind as well that it's okay to spend money you are earning to things that makes you happy. To the things that seems not so important by others but essential to you. If you feel that it's important and makes you happy then its worth spending then. It's good to spend the money and making some difference today than saving it and couldn't make the difference you want to create in the future. Why not? Because family isn't there anymore, because love ones isn't there anymore, because things is different so as the goals of yours changes.
If you have that mindset of saving then invest it. Not just to business, but also to love, to happiness, to live in that present you have right now.

Siiiss. Salamat dito. Sobrang laking tulong nito sa akin para ma remind ulit na wag pagsisihan yung hindi ko pag achieve ng goal ko kasi mas priority ko needs namin sa bahay. You are right, God's plan is greater than ours. Well spent talaga ito sissy.
