6-weeks saving strategy training

a couple of months ago, i was supposed to be saving. yup! that is, supposed to be. yet, unfortunately, i have saved none. so every payday, i have always promised myself that i'm only allowed to spend this amount. but then again, it was unsuccessful. you see, there were several situations wherein i needed to spend on things that weren't supposedly labeled as needs.

so i came up with a plan. and that is my newly invented 6-weeks saving strategy training. this means that i need to spend only 50 pesos each day. i'm also allowed to spend 100 each week for some miscellaneous stuff or for social reasons. and i'm only allowed to spend 300 for my every-2weeks-grocercy.

so within that 6 weeks.
P2100 - 42 days * P50 (lunch and fair)
P600 - 6 weeks * P100 (misc or social reasons)
P900 - 3 * 300 (every-2week-grocercy)
-------------------------------------------------------
P3600

yep! P3600 for 6 weeks! :D but for rare situations, i have also considered that that were unexpected thing i need to pay for. but, i don't really need to set a fix budget for that.

i know! its quite hard for me, but i'm going to push myself with this training. i have already considered that there is a 99% possibilty that i'm going to break my rule. but i'm going to bet on that 1%. so little, yet possible! that is, IF! i'm that determined to save. but even if i failed to follow the rules for a day, at least, i have saved something from the previous days.

i already have my 6-weeks saving strategy training checklist and i had, with pride, successfully completed 2 days in my checklist.. :D

actually, this is also a continutation to my previous selfcontrol test. if you have remembered, i have successfully completed my 60-days no friendster rule. and this time, i'm going to be on my so called 6-weeks saving strategy training. * wink wink *

so... wish me luck!
