Hi, everyone. I am in the midst of reading Money Drunk Money Sober. For this week, the primary task is to find a support group composed of people who are likewise wanting to get sober with their financial affairs. Apparently there IS a Debtors Anonymous in the Philippines (I googled) but I have no idea how to get in touch with them. I do not know if there is a similar support group at my local church.
In the meantime, since this group has always been a second home to me where I find supportive and affirmative folk, I guess here is where I should park my milestones.
I have been steadily counting and watching my finances. This week, I dipped into savings. I feel bad about that. I also noticed that the bank charged me P300 (about $7.00) as a service charge, and I didn't know they did that until I watched closely. I'll call the bank this week and find out what that's about.
Last Friday I spent about P800 ($18) on books. I almost never think twice when it's books I buy. Why is that? Last week I spent almost three days just to decide whether to purchase a pair of good shades. It's summer here and the sun is strong. I finally settled on a pair (after days of picking it up and then putting it down--good thing the store clerk was patient and friendly) that on a 20% discount. I bought my shades for about $16.00 and I agonized over them, but for the books I just buy without thinking. I think that's a little funny.
It's Easter but my office wanted me to go to work. Veck is ill, so I called and said I couldn't go. And my mind is on... oh, the income I would've earned if I went to work. Hm... this is strange. A few years ago I would not have thought of the money at all. Thanks for listening. Happy Easter to everyone who celebrate!
