How To Save Money the Simplest Way? (For Young Professionals)

These are tips for yuppies (and not so young) in the Philippines to save money in the simplest ways possible. These are really realistic ways that you CAN do in a developing country like ours without being a cheap and an impractical person.

1. Pack lunch.
I started on meal prepping recently, the one you prepare all your food for the next 5 days during Sundays, and I only spend 55-70 pesos per day for my lunch. A balanced one actually, thank you very much. I know that there are meals out there that cost the same as my packed one and more convenient to buy but are they healthy *ehem*Jolibee*ehem*7-eleven*ehem*?

2. Walk.
End of the day, you just want to lie down in your bed THE.FASTEST.WAY.POSSIBLE. so tap your Grab or Uber app. If you live close enough, think twice before booking because you can save up to 120 pesos a day if you walk and you will at the side, shed some pounds.

3. Brew your coffee.
Whether you brew your coffee at home and bring it to work or you bring your own coffee maker at work (I have seen this), it is much more practical than buying at the coffee shops.

4. Avoid going to the mall.
Those clothes, bags, shoes, techie stuffs calling out to you... need I say more? Additionally, avoid going to an e-mall. And by that I mean, online shopping stores. Who needs a voucher to a buffet that will be forgotten and eventually expire anyway?

5. Magnify.

120 pesos a day for a cab ride is a small thing but, that's 3,600 in a month, 43,200 in a year. You could already buy a decent smart phone with that. Think about this for that small amount you spend everyday or on a regular basis, it is lifestyle-changing.










UPDATE:
6. Use your credit card  to earn money.
If you have a reward or cash back credit card, the company will give you points or rebates when you purchase using their card. So what I realized is that, credit card is not bad if you use it to your advantage. Say use your credit card to pay your bills. These are expenses that you really pay monthly, so why not use your credit card to do that. But be sure to pay it immediately. More on that here.

How To Prevent Smelly Feet?

Have  you ever been  into a situation and felt so embarrassed when one of your travel mates snorted, "Did anyone bring in the vinegar?" and  realized she was referring to your feet?

Smelly feet have caused some of us this awful feeling at one time or the other in our entire life. I myself have always been aware about this and have tried many products in the market but to no avail until finally one day I became experimental. See what i did and voila, EUREKA!!

Step One - Wash feet  especially  between the  toes with soap or any skin cleanser.

Step Two - With a towel, dry feet thoroughly, again, giving attention in drying areas  between toes. 

Step three - Apply your ordinary underarm deodorant  on the area beneath your toes. With the help of your fingers, spread the deodorant in between toes and the whole sole. Wait for at least 15 seconds before putting socks on.

Note: I use same deodorant for my armpit and my feet. Since I am using the stick type, for hygienic reason, I scrape the deodorant with the back of my thumb nail, apply it on then spread out with my fingers. This technique also prevents your underarm to get rashes.

DISCLAIMER
    This has been a personal practice especially during travels and sporty activities  BUT  has no medical basis. However, no adverse side effects have been experienced.
     No particular brand is suggested though the stick type is better based on personal experience. This is effective than using the ordinary foot powder or spray. 
     

TRY THIS! YOU WILL SURELY END UP SNIFFING YOUR SOCKS AFTER TAKING  THEM OFF.
