For life is not just about how we will live comfortably, or just about the good and the pleasurable things life may bring us, as we all hope it to be. But it's how we deal with rough roads, molehills and even the mountains each of us will have to trudge as we go through life; with a lot shimmying when edges are sharp, while others can go cherry-picking. But what is important is to be armed with great deal of faith and courage to face life's trial head on...

How to pinch pennies...
I don't know why, but I have this habit of not spending my loose change. In my room I have a drawer where I put all my coins. I never spend them....I just save and keep them....maybe for future use. I hate to keep a coin bank though.
For me being frugal helps you survive in this day and age. I don't mind not keeping up with the Joneses, I just want to be as simple as I am. I go for cheaper dresses but nice fitting tho. Sometimes I would prepare having a hands-me-down than spending hundred of pesos in just one expensive branded garments. Although I honestly say na sometimes I would buy something expensive say like Havaianas flip-flops that costs a little less than P1,700.00...just for a pair of heeled rubber slippers?! It's a great find though...very durable and nice fitting. Being with scolio, I just couldn't stand the pain using heeled slippers or sandals, but with this brand, I use it with much ease and comfort. What I stress is, I spend a lot if it is necessary, and I try to pinch pennies when it is much needed.
There's nothing wrong if you'll try pennypinching...
You can save for the future without much effort.
You can start right now...!!!
