The Cash Challenge

credit


I don't carry cash anymore! It's been 5 years since budgeting in cash.

I remember being a student and getting an allowance! Lucky students, huh? 

In high school, I'd make sure to budget my money so it would last a day. In college, I'd make sure to budget my money so it would last for two weeks! 

When I started working and earning, I'd budget my hard-earned money to last me for a month!

Coming here, I don't have cash! It's all plastic for me now. So, I end up just swiping and swiping! The amount I have to pay are just numbers in the receipt.

I have no sense of losing money until I check online and see my balance running out!

This summer, I plan on going to my bank and withdrawing cash money. Set a weekly budget in cash and spend just that! - well, this will just be on food. Let's start with that.

If I start at $70 a week, that should last for a week, 7 days! If anything's left, I'd simply withdraw some and make it total $70 again for the following week. I am not sure how it will work out. Not even sure if it is enough. 

No, let me rephrase that, $70 a week is enough cash for 7 days! It will be spent wisely. It will work out for a family of 4.

Let me take the cash challenge! 

P.S. All doors are closed for 10 weeks! LOL!

NAMASTE.

    I agree, there really is a difference when you spend actual cash, perhaps because you see it actually leaving your hand compared to just swiping a card. Good luck on your challenge!

Outside the Box!

Welcome to WEALTHY TUESDAYS! Money-Matters!   Let’s me face the fact.  The fact is anything can happen.  Everything is possible and possibilities are infinite. Good. Wait! Everything? Is possible? Infinite possibilities? Yes. That’s correct. (It is only our mind that sets limits; try pushing your mind beyond the box!) I learned from seminars I’ve attended in the past that  “If the intention is clear, then the mechanism will appear.” Formula: Intention 100% + Mechanism 0% = Achieved Goal 100% If my intention, (belief, purpose, faith) is clear then the mechanism (activity, action, system) will appear! ~ and that will make me achieve my goal! 100% intention that is ALL IT TAKES! Wow! Then, let me be clear: “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could be of more service to people esp. to my family, relatives and friends.” and “I want financial wealth; I want more money, so I could enjoy more of life’s grandeu...

The cursed HOW

In my blog post “ Powerful Thoughts ”, I have written how powerful our mind is and whatever we create in our minds, if we believe, it will achieve! How-To-Request-A-Mortgage-Rate-Adjustment-F Honestly, I did not have any idea as to HOW it will happen – (flashback, my solution for our family to be together and not have my husband work as an OFW anymore was to migrate).  HOW? that was the question!   All I have was a belief that it will happen,  158Belief.jpg and for me to mentally picture what I want to happen, I have posted dollar bills,  talk incessantly about going to America someday,  kept a dollar in my wallet just to attract it…       What else? I went to DFA in Lucena to get our passports!  That was how determined I was! epass_trans_small-1.png My aunt asked me “where are you going Gi?”,   I told her to DFA, to get our passports. She asked, “Why?”  ...

Say IT!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/70285332@N00/3032368925 "Show what you feel in relationships. If you feel like crying, cry your eyes out! When you feel like laughing, laugh your eyes out. Scream when you want to scream. Roll on the floor. Surprise everybody!" "Please don’t wait to communicate your feelings!" This came from Leo Buscaglia 's book Living, Loving and Learning . (click his name to know more about it.) For now, you would have known that I am a fan! Yes, I am! Just Say IT! I hate it when my husband will not talk to me because I did something wrong! I do not know why he needs to pamper the pain!!! I am his exact opposite because I just simply communicate what I feel, well, tactless at times but, I need the communication part, so that when I’m done with it, then it’s done.   Just LET ME KNOW! There are people who are afraid to communicate their feelings to the point that instead of directly telling "what's bugging them" with the particular...
