 Devise a budget
According to Investopedia, a budget is an
estimation of revenue and expenses over a
specified future period of time and is
usually compiled and re-evaluated on a
periodic basis.
Budgets can be made for a person, a group
of people, a business, a government, or
just about anything else that makes and
spends money.
 Create an emergency fund.
• You need to set aside a certain
amount of your income as your
reserve fund for emergency is needed
in case of unemployment,
hospitalization, and others.
• Financial advisors encourage us to
save 20% of our income for this
purpose.
 Limit debt.
• We need to control our spending
activities to avoid debt.
• Be wise enough to live within your
means because compulsive
buying is an activity that will
bring us to unwanted debt.
 Limit debt.
Below are some ways on how to avoid debt:
•
An article from Central Bank cited that if you can’t
afford it without a credit card then don’t buy it. One
good rule to live by is if you can't pay for something in
cash, then you can't afford it with a card.
•Cut out the wants, focus on the needs. You need to
live within your budget. The needs must be settled
first while the wants should be the last priority. Even
if the needs are met, saving the extra money could
help our finances to be better.
 Limit debt.
Below are some ways on how to avoid debt:
Keep track of your expenses
by listing it down in the
sheet of expenses.
 Limit debt.
We can also cut off or control the following
expenses if we want to increase our savings:
• cable television
• dining out
• high-speed internet
• alcohol
• cigarettes
• gym memberships
• magazine subscriptions
 Consider your family
Spend time with your family and
evaluate your expenses if such
expense is a need or a want. You
must learn the value of hard-
earned money and spend it well.
 Plan (and save) for retirement
• When you retire, you should
have the money to finance the
daily needs.
• It is wise to do something in order for
us to have money when we get old.
Retiring is not about age anyway.
 Plan (and save) for retirement
• You can retire early
provided that we already
have the financial capacity
and our situation is just
right to call it quits.
 Plan (and save) for retirement
The following are some ideas on how to
retire early in the Philippines:
Start saving seriously.
Investments are the key.
Find good health care.
Live below your means.
 Give yourself a break.
• Once in a while reward yourself
for your hard work. Taking
some time out with your loved
ones, dining out together, and
going somewhere will help you
appreciate life because you are
making the best of it.
 Automate your finances.
• Online payment of utility
bills like water and electricity
will help you do more. This
can also help us deal with
late payment penalties once
payment is made online.
You are responsible for your own wealth.
• Building up of wealth like cash,
properties, or assets will take time
to do. Whatever course of action
you are doing now to increase your
possessions will keep you on the
right track to reach your goal of
financial independence.
 Getting out of debt is an emergency.
•There are good and bad debts. Buying new
vehicle for the purpose of doing and
supporting your business to earn more money
is on the positive side of obtaining a credit. On
the other hand, if your purpose of buying a
car is to use it to gratify mostly of your
materialistic appetite, it would not be a good
idea because you will increase your liability.
Too much frugality is a waste of time and money
 Use credit cards wisely
 According to an article by Gobear
(2020), credit card is also a plastic
payment card, but one that works a
little differently.
• Your credit card will have a set limit
or balance on it that a bank can
provide and you will only be allowed to
spend within that range.
