1.) If owning it won’t make my daily life easier, I pass.

2.) If I’m worried by not buying it, that’s my sign to pause.

3.) If I can name at least one better use for the money I will spend, I don’t rush to purchase it.

But I’m not saying na ‘wag ka nang magpakasaya with the money that you worked hard for.

Of course, DESERVE mong sumaya (and to splurge!)

But you also deserve to experience biggeeeer blessings.

And the only way you can unlock even more abundance is to BETTER handle the finances/resources you have right now.

Just a friendly reminder ♥️

Pero sabi ko sa sarili ko, okay lang yun. After all, these toys were intended for kids naman talaga.

It’s fun to think that they will also experience the excitement of playing with these toys (Pati yung Pokemon ball and cards!)

Pero it’s sad to see that there are some individuals who intentionally ruin this experience.

To the point na someone would openly hoard an entire Pokémon stock just to resell it at a higher price. (That’s called scalping, by the way)

But this post is not meant to attack anyone. In fact, I 100% support people with the mindset of an entrepreneur.

But we should also be aware when an action is already going too far.

If it’s being done at the expense of somebody, hindi na yan diskarte. It's called EXPLOITATION.

𝙈𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙙 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙤 𝙠𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙜 𝙨𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙗𝙖-𝙗𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙩.

Paano n’yo nga ba mina-manage ang pera bilang mag-asawa?
Combined ba ang income?
May sarili kayong allowances?
O kanya-kanyang diskarte pero may usapan?

Walang “one perfect way” —
pero may 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙚:
𝙙𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙠𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖.

Kasi sa totoo lang…
sa dami ng gastos sa bahay — pagkain, bills, needs ng kids, emergencies —
𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙞𝙣𝙮𝙤, 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖.
Hindi dahil nang-iiwan.
Pero dahil ayaw makadagdag sa stress ng partner.

Pero doon nagsisimula ang bigat:
‘Yung hindi masabi na kulang ang budget.
‘Yung may purchase na kailangan pero nahihiyang aminin.
‘Yung bills na pina-follow up na pero tinatago muna.
‘Yung mga pangarap na parehong gusto pero hindi matulak dahil walang malinaw na pag-uusap.

Kaya mahalaga ang financial teamwork.
Hindi lang sa spreadsheet…
kundi sa conversation.
Sa honesty.
Sa pagiging open kahit uncomfortable.

Kung combined man ang pera n’yo or may allowances,
ang importante:
𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙤.
𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙤.
𝘼𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙠𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣.

Kasi kapag magkasama n’yong hinaharap ang pera,
mas magaan ang buhay.
Mas payapa ang bahay.
Mas malakas ang marriage.

𝙆𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙮𝙤 𝙝𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙖’𝙩 𝙞𝙨𝙖 𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙡 𝙨𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖 𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮, 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠?

𝙈𝙖𝙨 𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙠𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙜 𝙣𝙖𝙜-𝙪𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙥 𝙨𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖.

Totoo naman, ‘di ba?

Minsan hindi problema ang pera… 𝙠𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙮𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙤𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙜-𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙩𝙤.
Sa dami ng gastos — pagkain, kuryente, tuition, emergency, pang-araw-araw —
𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙞𝙣𝙮𝙤, 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖.
Hindi dahil selfish…
kundi dahil ayaw makadagdag sa iniisip ng partner.

Pero dito nagsisimula ang bigat sa bahay:

‘Yung hindi masabi na kulang ang budget.
‘Yung may biniling kailangan pero nahihiyang aminin.
‘Yung bills na padating na pero pilit itinatago.
‘Yung mga pangarap n’yo na gusto n’yong simulan, pero walang malinaw na pag-uusap.

Hindi kailangan maging perfect ang pera para maging maayos ang marriage.
Pero kailangan maging 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 kayo.

Teammates sa pagplano.
Teammates sa pangarap.
𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙖 𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚.
Teammates sa pagbangon.

Kasi kapag pareho kayong honest…
pareho rin kayong 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙜.

At kapag pareho kayong panatag…
ang tahanan n’yo, 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙮 — 𝙠𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙮 𝙣𝙖 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥.

Kailan n’yo huling kinausap ang isa’t isa tungkol sa pera nang may honesty, teamwork, at pagmamahal?
