It’s all about the Money
September 27, 2021
Well hello everyone! Today is surely a one great day. Earlier I decided to watch the popular series Squid Game. Thanks to my beautiful besfriend for giving me an access to her netflix account. I can watch it with no hassle and ads. I am reading a lot of reviews about this series. I just hope my heart will be ready for all the heartbreaking moments I might encounter while watching it. Upon watching the series trailer I assume the show has a lot to do with money while playing a game. I just finished the first episode, and it was really an interesting one. Since it involved a really big sum of money, please allow me to answer some questions with regards to money. I found this random question on this link. You too, can give it a try. The answers to my question was purely base on my personal thoughts and experiences. So without further ado, let’s start.
Which do you enjoy more, earning money or spending money?
I would definitely enjoy spending it. They say that money can’t buy happiness, but for me it’s not. When you want to buy something and you worked hard to get it, there is a satisfaction and it makes you happy. Being greedy is another case that would ruined everything you’ve work for. Earning money on the other hand is quite hard. Imagine going to your work early and going home late, doing this and that. But at the end of the day you can’t enjoy money if you don’t have money to spend. So I would probably enjoy both.
Do you save enough money? What saving goals do you have?
We do have enough savings last year. But because of the pandemic it was all spent up. My husband wasn’t able to get back to work for about a year and 3 months. It was also so hard to get a job during those times, so we didn’t have any choice but to used all of our savings. But right now, hopefully we could save it again. I am now starting to save extra money that I have. And thanks to these two platforms (read and noise) all the bch I earned is in a safe place. Saving goals? I really want to travel next year. So yeah, half of our savings will be spend if travelling would be allow.
How often do you think about money? Is money a stressful part of life?
Everyday. 😅 As I am the one in charge in budgeting most of the expenses inside the house, of course I think about money all the time. Thinking about all the incoming bills, our monthly amortisation, insurances, and a lot more makes money a stressful part of life. Honestly if only we can get all things for free, we wouldn’t have any problem, but life is different now. Everything has a price you need to pay.
What does “money doesn’t grow on tree” mean? Do you agree?
For me it basically mean, you need to work hard if you want money. There is no such thing as easy money. Even the richest people on earth struggles a lot in order to be successful. With all the perseverance and determination they got what they wanted. So yeah I would agree to this statement. And every cents is very important too, so we shouldn’t waste it. Spend those hard earned money wisely.
Imagine you have won a million dollar, who will you tell? What will you do with the money?
I would absolutely be jumping for joy if ever I won a million dollar. It’s 50 million pesos if you are about to convert it in our fiat. So it’s a big amount that can help a lot of people. First I will tell it to my husband. Actually, my husband and I would always have a conversation on what to do if we won a lottery. We already plan on where to spend the rest of winning money if in case we won. Of course, we will definitely share it with the rest of the family, buy a car, buy an investment, buy a much bigger house and the rest will be given to a charity or foundation that aims to help unfortunate people.
Closing Thoughts
While I was watching Lisa’s money dance performance on youtube this quote caught my attention “Money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant”. It simply means we shouldn’t let money control us, though money can really be a good servant because you can use it to buy everything you want and needed. But being so much in love with money will eventually ruined your life. We have also heard a lot of broken relationships that involves money. At the end of the day, a good relationship is still better than having a lot of dollars.

I also have savings before the pandemic sis, pero simula nung nag umpisa ang pandemya wla ng agency na bukas para makabalik ng abroad partner ko tapos nagkataon pa na nagbuntis ako kaya halos lahat ng savings namin pareho ay naubos. Kaya sana matapos na tong pandemyang to kc ang hirap pag walang permanenting trabaho dahil sa kakalock down. Hopefully makaipon ulit kami..
