Still not enough

Some of the highlights of my Month of May. Both positive and negative happenings.

Let's start with the positive one. Last May 25 my boss told me that starting last Monday my salary with be $7 a day from $6 a day. To those who still didn't know, I've been working here at the computer shop for almost 10 years now. I started working here in the Year 2012 and my salary was only 10 percent of my sales. Honestly, I'm happy with my salary increase at least I will have $40.60(P2030) a week. But then it's still not to cover our whole expenses.

Last Monday I chatted with my elementary classmate whose mother owns a big store in our town. I used to buy milk for my baby in their store because the price of their milk is a bit cheaper than the other stores. I ask her if they already had available Nido Junior 1.2 kg. She said she had already been from the panel that morning and will arrive in the afternoon. I ask her if the price is still $12.4(P620) but to my surprise, she said it's already increased to $13.60(P680).whoah! My God. From the time I started buying it was still $12. The price increased rapidly.

When I got the news from my boss about my salary increase! I tend to calculate and budget my weekly expenses and to my surprise, it's still not enough to cover all our weekly expenses. If not because of my earnings in noisecash and readcash I don't know where to get money to cover up our expenses weekly. It's been a tough month for me since I am the only one working for our family.

Moreover, I just get our electric bill the other day, and I was shocked by the huge increase from $12 (P600)last month now it's up to $18.56(P928). Oh my goodness. Where I will get money to pay our huge electric bill? I've already withdrawn all my bch earnings from both readcash and noisecash. Anyway, I still have 2 weeks to grind more before the due date of our electric bill.

I may earn more here in readcash last May than last April but I have nothing left in my bitcoin wallet since I withdraw every now and then to buy milk and other staff for the construction of our kitchen.

Ending Thoughts

Despite being stressed from all the bills and expenses, I am still thankful that I surpass my earnings from April. I earn more last month of May and that's still a blessing from God. I was able to use those earnings in a good way. Always be grateful that I am part of the BCH community,through noisecash and readcash.

Yung electric bill isa talaga yan nag pabigat every month sis. Sa bahay namin sis grabe ang laki ng kuryente sis. Mga 3k every month. Super laki. Natigil lang nung Odette kasi nawalan ng kuryente dahil nasira yung mga poste. Fighting lang sis. I'm sure you will surpass it sis. Napaka brave mo sis.

The way price of commodities are skyrocketing is alarming. One will buy something of $10 today and before you wake up in the next day, the price has moved to $12. Cost of living becoming difficult on a daily basis.

Congratulations on your salary increment too even though it's not enough
