3 Important Reasons Why You Should Save Money




Whenever payday arrives, almost all of us becomes a one-day-millionaire, we buy what we want, what we need and pay what we need to pay with our hard-earned money.  That is one reason why most of us live by payday to payday.

It is rewarding to get the gadget that you aim for or fulfill that vacation that you have been planning for a year or those cool sneakers whom you've saved money for months in your trusty piggy bank.

But while self-reward is vital, some tend to overdo this at the expense of the need to save.

You don't need to attend seminars or become a financial advisor for you to know the importance of saving for your future and whatever unexpected, while it seems that we only have enough money to get by every payday, it does not hurt to sacrifices a few our "wants" to save for what we need and gain financial freedom.

A Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas survey on consumer expectations for the first quarter of 2019 showed that only 36.6 percent of Filipino households have savings.

This means 63.4 percent of Filipino households do not. Add to this, too, that as of 2017, only 22.6 percent of Filipino adults had formal financial accounts (bank, e-Money, microfinance, cooperatives), and the rest remain unbanked, according to BSP’s Financial Inclusion Survey that year.



With the rise of financial technology, new platforms have emerged to provide ease not just in payments but also in saving. Leading mobile wallet GCash is encouraging its users to save more: deposit at least P1 peso for the first time in your GSave account and get a share from a pot of P2 million.



So why save? It’s rewarding! Here are some reasons why:


1. PEACE OF MIND

Having spare money is vital in having a feeling of security in case of an emergency. Scrounging for cash in the middle of an unexpected event is highly stressful, so building savings as an emergency fund is important.

2. SEED MONEY FOR HIGH-YIELD INVESTMENTS

With consistency, savings reach a certain level over time that it could serve as seed money for investments with high returns, such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

3. INCREASED HAPPINESS

Having savings mean freedom from financial uncertainty and insecurity, and this ultimately leads to increased happiness, according to a 2013 survey by Ally Bank of the United States. Respondents in the survey said having spare money in the bank enhanced their well being even more than having a good job, doing regular exercise, or having a healthy meal.


So how about starting your savings? Start with just a peso. It will go a long way.

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater.

As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
