What To Spend At By July?

ARTICLE NO. 94 OF 2022
TITLE: <What To Spend At By July?>
DATE OF PUBLISHING: <JUNE 29, 2022>

Before we get down to the main highlight of this blog, let me ask this question first and foremost:

"When did you start looking for a work? Or in Filipino terminology, "magbanat ng buto."

Personally, I begun my working journey when I was just a teen, sixteen to be exact. That was right after I finished my 4-years in Junior High School. I applied in our municipal hall under this certain program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) known as Special Program for Employment of Students or simply, "SPES."

Way back in 2017, our salary is around PhP 7000.00+. Had forgotten the exact amount but the 60% will be from the Local Government Unit while 40% is from DOLE. That's the very first salary that I had held in my hands, glad that our parents let me be. Why? They want me to budget and handle it on my own, without them asking for a portion to keep for my future needs.

By 2018, I wasn't able to join the program because I was late to submit my requirements. But since the staffs in PESO already knows me, I easily got in by 2019. That time, our salary increased to PhP 9000.00+. Every year, the salary increases and that's why I am really eager on it.

On February 2020, the Assistant Secretary in PESO messaged me, asking why I haven't yet submitting my requirements. I was in first year college that time~ I am not aware that the application is ongoing and so, I immediately processed mine. I'll be in in SPES 2022, that's for sure. Apparently, pandemic happens.

Hustling to earn & save ...

As I started the unending journey of "working", I can't find the will and urge to stop. Seems like when I stop, other opportunities will also come to an end.

When I had my first salary, I instantly begun learning on how to budget and apply its essence in real life. That's when I realized that, "adulting starts to kick in to my system." ✨

Everyday, I am waking up more earlier, either during vacations or in the middle of the semester. Why? Of course, to start my "nonstop hustling & earn more passive income." Will be a hypocrite if I denied the reasons why. For each month, I am setting a target financial goal. It is to earn this and that amount to finance my, our monthly expenses.

In this blog, let me narrate here the things that I'm about to spend at this coming July 2022:

Monthly priorities:

Needles to say, I do always prioritize "needs" over "luxuries or luho." And, here they are:

• Grocery supplies

By the first week of the month, I do grocery shopping and buy our 2-3 weeks supplies. Ranges from foods stocks to toiletries to laundry & safety essentials.

This July, I am planning to do it by this coming Saturday, 07.02.2022.

• House rent

Similar to grocery shopping, I am maintaining to pay for the rent every first week of each month. Don't want to wait for the 21st day before paying it as I don't want to stress myself more while thinking of the "due dates."

Venice's graduation celebration;

My younger sister will held their graduation on July 13th, Wednesday. And, I am thinking of having an intimate celebration with the family. No other relatives or family friends invited coz it'll just means: "I'll be spending more money."

The five of us will dine in for dinner on the same day. And, I am currently thinking of "where will we gonna eat?" I am torn between Mang Inasal or Unli Samgyupsal, since we hadn't done it yet. Well, I'm weighing on where will I gonna spend more less.

Venice's 12th birthday;

Our youngest will turn 12 on July 20 and since I'll treat them for her graduation, I'll just tell Mama to cook a creamy soup (sopas). Again, just an intimate celebration.

Acquire a valid ID.

"I'm already 21 & turning 22 but I still don't have any valid IDs."

And yes, I am existing. LOL! Gosh! By now, I only have a Student ID from our university. Around 05.07.2021, I and my parents processed our National IDs. However, it's already June 2022 but we still don't have it onhand. Just, "what?"

Since that I really need it for various legal transactions, I'll wait until next Monday. And if there's still none, I will apply for a Postal ID in our city hall.

"Might as well spend some money for another ID rather than wait for an ID that we aren't sure when will be given to us."
