ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR RESOURCES?



T
he process of daily living includes a constant need to make personal economic decisions; how much should we save from our monthly pay? On food? On housing? On entertainment?

Personal decisions are wiser if financial facts are organized, summarized, and making them easily available as future reference. Once we have a good idea of our average monthly expenses, we can match them against the financial resources we have, and we are able to know where our money has been going.

Record keeping will give us an opportunity to modify our current spending level by noting areas where we can cut our budget without seriously changing our lifestyle. These changes might include doing some things on a less frequent basis, or seeking less expensive alternatives for some of our current spending habits. We must always have a complete control of how we will allocate our resources.

Ka Bay,

Many thanks for the hospitality. We enjoyed our visit. Kailan kaya maulit? When is your Christmas Party? Bong, Rud, Jun, Badong are here with me. Balik trabaho na bukas. We promise to visit your webpage on regular basis.

This post is very informative. Well said.

I never keep track of my expenses. After reading your post, you gave me an idea to maintain records. Problema lang baka minsan ay malimutan ko rin.

We're leaving tonight. Many thanks again. Got your phone and your yahoo email address.

Enjoy

Back to work na ako. Nag-extend ng two days!

I need to control my spending, too! I am very impulsive.

@ Jun

Keeping track of your daily expenses helps. You get to know your priorities and activities involving cash.

@ Badong,

Masaya talaga rito, that's, especially here in Sobeikha, para kang nasa market place lagi, ha hah!

@ Bong,

Just putting things in their proper places.

@ Monching

I know you well. You are always out of control when it comes to spending your hard earned money. Medyo mahilig ka kasi sa mga kumikinang uggghhh!!!
