Sometimes, having more savings does not really entail getting a salary raise.
One can save more by just changing one’s spending habits, according to Odiongan Vice Mayor Diven Dimaala who provided tips to a worker he chatted with.
In a Facebook post, Dimaala shared that an employee was relieved about getting pay raise since this means this worker could put more money in the bank.
But after inquiring about the worker’s spending habits, he learned that this worker has a tendency to eat out a lot, buy new things and shop online.
According to the vice mayor, changing these habits would already allow the worker to save a lot of money even without a pay raise.
After all, cutting back on unnecessary expenses is still easier than finding new sources of income!

Vice Diven; pag ganyan ka,hindi ka talaga makakaipon, hindi dagdag na sahod ang kailangan mo para ka makaipon.
ang kailangan mo ay magbawas ka ng gastos para ka makaipon..(lesson 1)
alalahanin mo rin na mas madaling magbawas ng gastos kaysa maghanap ng dagdag na pagkakakitaan.(lesson 2)
PE; parang tama ang sinabi mo vice ah,” Dimaala posted.
