Nowadays, every cent counts. Times are hard and the prices of commodities keep on increasing. Aside from the basic need of the family, there are other bills to pay such as utility bills and tuition fees, among others. For Pinoys who are minimum wage earners, it really won’t be enough although some know how to budget their salary well. Sometimes, it would be surprising to see someone earning a higher salary but can’t manage the expenses well while the one who earns much lower can even save up a small amount of money. How is that? It’s because there are different kinds of Pinoys and here they are;
Ideal Child – This is the kind of Pinoy who have a list of priorities. The bills are taken care of come payday and there is a certain amount set aside for the parents. This kind of Pinoy is the thriftiest and almost the entire salary is spent on the needs of the family.
Challenger – This is the kind who wants to save up for something that has been a long-time dream; appliances, furniture, gadgets, or travel. This is the type that starts an “ipon challenge”. Try to avoid saving up coins because it is now prohibited.
Sweet Lover –These are the kind of Pinoy who are thrifty on their needs but very willing to spend for their partner. They never run out of ways to surprise their partners to show their love.
Advance Thinkers – These are the ones who know where their salary will go even before they receive it. It’s because they owe a lot of people money. Surprisingly, even if they are just about to pay their debts, they are already thinking about where to borrow money again.
