How do you manage your finances?
Sharing with you one of the most helpful yet practical tips when it comes to budgeting. 'Yung tipong masasabi mong nakakapagsave ka ng hindi naman masyadong tinitipid ang sarili. The 10-20-70 rule. Thanks to Bro. Bo Sanchez for this. 😅♥️
10% will serve as your TITHES. Whatever we have, we owe it to God. So if you're earning 15,000/month, 1,500 of this will be your tithes. Sabi nga, God doesn't need our money but tithing is God's way of teaching us how to give and be grateful. And let me share this beautiful quote from Heber Grant "The Lord does not need your tithing, as far as He is concerned, but you need it for your growth, spiritually and temporally, that the windows of heaven may be opened and the spirit of the living God given to you."
20% will go to your SAVINGS and INVESTMENTS. Maari mong isipin na napakaliit naman ng 20% ngunit kung ikaw ay sumesweldo ng 15,000 kada buwan, 3,000 na ang iyong matatabi sa isang buwan. And if you follow this religiously, sa isang taon ay makakaipon ka na ng 36,000. Sa kabilang banda, kung ang 3,000 na yan ay nilagay mo sa iba't ibang investment maaring mas higit pa sa 36,000 ang maging pera mo sa isang taon. You can even get a life insurance for as low as 1,800/month yet be insured for 1 million pesos. Yes! Naisingit ko pa 'yon! 😉 Ngayon, maari mong tanungin ang iyong sarili, magkano na nga ba ang naipon mo? Sa tatlong taon, limang taon o sampung taon mong pagtatrabaho, may naipon ka na ba o may naipundar man lamang?
Lastly, 70% of what you earn will go to your EXPENSES. This include bills, food, transportation, shopping and other things where you want to spend your money. Kung ikaw ay sumesweldo ng 15,000 kada buwan, maari mong magamit at gastusin ang 10,500 ng iyong buwanang sweldo. Malaki o maliit? Magpakatotoo tayo, ito ay sapat upang mabili mo ang mga gusto mo at maenjoy ang sweldo mo. Sa budget na ito, masasabi mong hindi mo naman tinitipid ang sarili mo. BUT always remember, the smaller the expenses the better.
It's true that you only live once but that doesn't mean that you cannot save for your future and give back to God. Always remember that it's just a matter of discipline and budgeting. Hope this 10-20-70 rule will guide you towards your financial goal.
