Celebrating the Financial Independence Month in Cebu.
At 20’s, I have so many plans and life goals that I wished when I was in my college years. I love to tour around, purchase useful gadgets, meet new people, and buy new clothes for my ultimate ootd goals. Until I realize that I should spend my earning in a proper way. That is why Sun Life Financial launched the celebration of Financial Independence Month at Ayala Center Cebu last June 24, 2018, together with the Cebu’s brightest personalities to share their experiences and passion on their respective fields and also their brighter ideas about financial freedom.
The event was hosted by Sun Life Trainer and Pop District Bazaar host Jeff Pe and Miss Cebu 2011 and TV Personality Mia Ali, and also special performances by Jacky Chang, Bethany, and Mandaue Nights.
My Personal Financial Struggles
It’s good to have personal goals which you can pay off yourself from long hours of work and tight deadlines. Sometimes we love to eat in fine dining restaurants, watch movies, and going out somewhere to have fun with friends in order to get a self-remedy and treats. Until you realize that you are overspending too much from it.
Way back to my first employment, I spent a lot of money for leisure such as food, branded clothing, and city amusements. It was hard for me to save more money because I can’t let go of the usual habit when I received my payroll every 15th and 30th day every month. Until now, I still practiced the habit, but I tried to lessen it by simply purchasing second-hand clothing and budget my allowance per day. I learned that financial struggles are part of our lessons in life which we need to limit ourselves from temptation.
As what I learned from the talk of Michael Karlo Lim about “Money Under 30”, it is important to save a lot of money to be financially secure. The best thing we can do is to start it now.
Yes! So here are the 8 Financial Tips Before Your Reached at 30.
