Goodness knows I can use some of your financial management prescriptions.

My main problem is when a needy friend or relative approaches. I find it hard to say no.

Noems, very interesting post… I just recently took over 1/2 of the money management in our home — and it is working out very well for our marriage.

For some historical data in our family, Dad once told me (and I hope I’m correct) that whatever he earned was placed into savings and investments and whatever the bakeshop earned went into our daily living expenses, our education, etc.

I don’t know if you kept the ledger that Mom kept during their first couple of years’ marriage. I hope you didn’t throw it out when you packed up the Lahug house. If you did, oh well, at least I have those memories…

great tips, Noemi. Ako naman, one of the things I do before making a purchase is ask myself if I really need the thing and I wait before buying, baka kasi mai-sale

I know how you feel–but I gave myself a break and treated myself when our book club read the perfect summer read that will mak you laugh out loud. THE BOOK OF MOM by Taylor Wilshire. It is packed on insight into marriage parenting and how we can take better care of oursleves for free!!! Have you read it?

@rolly- precisely it’s the reason for my entry to encourage savings.

@fitz- I am puzzled myself. heh hope they change their minds.

@Viona- it must be hard. When my parents got sick, they were able to take care of their medical needs without being a burden to us. I hope I will do the same to my kids. I keep telling them I am saving so I won’t be a burden to them in my old age.

This is a good reading for me…Currently my family didn’t have financial problem until my mother in law get sick. Me and my husband have to support all her medicine cost (which quite a lot for us) as none of my husband’s brother and sister have well established financial. We are geting into conflicts oftenly because of this…Now is really a hard time for my family.
