Here’s a common scenario that happens to every Pinoy…
The 15th of the month comes and everyone’s excited? Why not? It’s PAYDAY once more!
People claim their pay slips and the next scenes that go down lead to what we all call FINANCIAL DISASTER.
I am not an exemption. Everyone went through this story at least once in their life. For some others, it’s already a habit… It’s a cycle that they go through twice every month.
And what’s this situation?

We go to the mall to pay our bills, get groceries for the next weeks, but we also lose our minds when we see all the Sale and New Releases. We think, “it’s okay to buy, it’s discounted anyway,” or “I’ll buy just one, I can’t miss the promo sale of the new release watch.”
These and more all lead us to unplanned expenses. Later, when we go home to check how much is left, we scratch our heads because there’s no more left for other necessities, let alone some emergency funds. What happens next to this?
We borrow money from friends or family members. Some others even have to take offers from loan sharks which cost them 20% interest of the amount they borrowed.

For every peso you earn you sort it in the following six “jars” labeled as follows:
