Young, Fabulous and Broke…No More (on the broke part)
December 31, 2007


I hate her tacky jackets and her sprightly hair—arghh… BUT I love her show.

She’s bright on so many finance matters but my affinity to this money guru is on her counsels on how not to finish off a pathetic bust.

This 2008 I will go by my fave Suze Orman commandment on personal savings: one’s personal saving should ALWAYS/PERPETUALLY have a balance of at least a year’s worth of your monthly regular/basic expenses.

To illustrate (does not reflect my own):

Rent and
Utilities- P 10,0000.00
Food- P 7,000.00
Fare/Gas- P 5,000.00
Clothing and
personal hygiene- P 5,000.00
Communications- P 3,000.00
Total: P 30,000.00
12 month equivalent: P360,000.00

Suze insists that this minimum balance is strictly non-expendable. Any excess however is safe to be squandered on anything your heart and penis desires.

So, save na, now na!

And it's the Fabulous that counts most, right?

Happy New Year!

dang right bryan!!! what i try to do and it's always the hardest although once done at naging used to ako, it's a direct deduction. i try to follow the rule, PAY YOURSELF FIRST before anyone else, so you get to force yourself to budget what's left, hanggang dun lang ang ligaya!

@pat: and penis expense? depende...if you swallow. at dimo naman binayaran yung titi..siguro dapat i classify mo sya as food

ahahaha

pero pag binayaran mo, regardless kung nag swallow ka o hindi, mas appropriate na sa rent sya

ahaha

Accounting standards ba itu??

ahaha
