Reviewing My Numbers

          Time flies so fast & its December 19 already, feels like it was only yesterday when I wrote my goals last January. Today, I was reading some of my blog posts & these particular numbers caught my eye.

One Peso (P1.00) - It only took one peso to start another step towards financial freedom. Just one peso & my savings motivation (365-savings-goal) started last year.

One Hundred Pesos (P100) - The average amount I set for my daily allowance (Daily budget of P100, P140, P160). I have set my daily routine to a fixed expenses though I sometimes exceeded with my budget its still manageable.

One Thousand Pesos (P1,000) - The target amount I have set for my Weekly budget, my Groceries expenses and my Minimum additional top up on my investments. I've already reached my target additional top up investment here but I sometimes exceeded with my weekly budget & my groceries expenses.

Ten Thousand Pesos (P10,000) - The target amount I have set for my Total monthly expenses (though I think its doable I'm still in the process of trimming down my expenses), my Total investment on my mutual funds (target reached both for FAMI & PEMI) and the Special Savings Account  (my last goal to fulfill before 2014 ends ).

One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000) - I've been visualizing this numbers since I wrote this 1,000 Spending Rule blogpost last August. Just imagine to have a total of P100,000 both on my savings, mutual fund & other investments----Sounds good, di ba? I'll see if I can reach it before the year ends or before I turn 40 next year. I'll be calculating my networth before the year 2014 ends :)

          My 13th month pay is P 6,150 (ang laki noh?) - is primarily intended for gifts both on my family, friends & inaanaks though I have not received it yet, still okay with me, "atleast controlled ang gastos". I planned to give cash on my inaanaks coz I still am not sure if all of them are coming.
I have this spending problem every Christmas, an attitude of giving everyone a gift then ended up broke by January. This year every single centavo is planned. No new christmas decors, new curtains, new beddings & no household items were bought, hey I'm a self confessed addict to anything that can add appeal to my eye in decorating our house every christmas.

          Our "paluwagan" were already given yesterday but just as I plan, the 10k will be for my special savings account, 6k will be for medical ( cervical vaccine, health cards for me & my mother ), 3k for my mutual fund, while the remaining 5k will be for church, for christmas panggastos & for some house repairs.

          Setting a goal really plays an important role in our lives coz it sets directions in every plan that we make. I'm looking forward & excited for 2015 as I now have a clear view of what I really want in my life. Though my blog is all about financial goals, I'll be focusing on personal improvements next year.

Have a great weekend everyone!
