Cash stuffing ng taghirap.

We recently lost one client worth ₱50,000 because daddy got burnt out from work, so I told him to rest. I’m really grateful that the life we built has space for rest, not just soldiering through burnout. Thank You, Lord.

The budget is tighter now. Allowances and dining out had to go for a while so we can focus on the essentials and stay on track with our debt payoff plan.

One season of adjustment so we can have a calmer future. 🌱

It’s been a while since my last cash stuffing post.
Tatay was hospitalized and passed away, so the past weeks have been focused on family and things that matter more than content.
Today I’m starting again with cash counting — using the first salary of the month plus some leftover cash from the last income.
Right now I’m not able to save.
Every leftover peso is helping us get through the next few days.
Real life budgeting isn’t always about progress.
Sometimes it’s just about staying steady.
One step at a time.

Removing Tatay’s envelopes today.
I was fixing my finances so I could give him more someday.
I didn’t know someday would end too soon.

Every peso in that ipon came from night shifts and small sacrifices.
Part of it was meant as a backup in case my dad needed money for his cancer treatment.

Refilling my weekly spending wallet for the first week of February.
Having everything in one wallet helps me stay aware of my limits when I’m out and prevents impulsive spending. Once this is set, the week feels much more manageable.

Unstuffing last week’s leftovers.
After checking each category, I had a total of three hundred seven pesos left. Instead of letting it disappear, I added the bills to my savings challenges and dropped the coins into our acrylic alkansya.
This step may look small, but it’s one of the habits that really changed how I handle money.

Savings cash stuffing update.
After covering both high and low priority expenses, I set aside what was left and added it to my savings challenges. This part may not look exciting, but it’s where long-term progress really happens.
Choosing to save leftovers instead of spending them.

Low priority binder cash stuffing for the next two weeks.
This is where I budget for flexibility — eating out, allowances, gas, kids, meds, and extra funds — without letting spending get out of control. Planning these ahead helps me enjoy them without guilt or stress.

High priority binder cash stuffing for February first to fourteenth.
Covering child support, rent, help, and household essentials first, with a slightly higher palengke budget since I’m on a low-carb diet and need more ulam. Whatever’s left goes to our freedom fund.
This system keeps the first half of the month calm and intentional.

Cash counting update.
This is our third paycheck for January, received on January twenty-seventh and allocated for the first half of February. I also temporarily borrowed from our emergency fund to cover child support before the next salary comes in.
This is why I separate pay dates from spending dates — it keeps everything calm and intentional.
