On financial literacy and savings group PESO SENSE, there are a number of people who shared their inspiring stories of how they were able to save some money. While many do have good jobs and a lot of extra cash to spare, there are also those who are just earning a little but have found ways to still keep some of their money.

Someone shared a trick that got her to save Php31,800 in just 6 months. According to this netizen, she considers Php200 bills as ‘invisible’ and never spends that money. Instead, she puts all the Php200 bills in a jar. Every time she sees a Php200 bill held by someone or at a store’s cashier, she would try to exchange the bill so she could save more in her money jar.

Superstitions about Saving Money

In the Philippines, there are many people who don’t want to save money because of superstitious beliefs. For example, there are people who believe that when they save money, someone in the family gets sick so that the money he/she saved has to be spent for that someone’s treatment. So, they don’t save money so no one in the family gets sick, hopefully.
