I keep on coming back here...hoping to find tasks that i may do in less than 10 minutes that would make me add earnings to my account...why? because i feel that i need to maximize time.
I've been into a lot of expenses lately. two of us, my 2nd daughter and I have already graduated and our eldest daughter is also about to graduate few days from now.
My savings already depleted to certain percent and is about to really be empty.
I am pressed by so much pressure specially by some instances of ruining some good times just because of a P50 wastage to cellphone load.
ohhh...times like this. as if the amount of good relationships is flunked to P50 -- that feeling that because you've wasted such amount, one person suddenly didnt feel good and everything else follows.
sometimes, you wouldn't want to allow badtimes to be up, as you would want to at least be the one to reach out -- yet, sometimes too, you want to give that person the chance to see that his reaction is too demeaning for the person who's been doing everything to the best she can just for things to meet and balance.
a person who doesn't really want to see anything would not really see the good things. hmmm....
what if today, i suddenly give up? ...but still oh no, not ...
have you also been in this situation? what thoughts did run in your mind?
and what thoughts did you entertain best?

I experienced a monthly deficit but(you've got more money going out each month than you have coming in)but i will never give up with my finances and i will never give up for budgeting!
Managing our money well does not happen an overnight! It is a process of ONE STEP AT A TIME!

I experienced it not just once maybe I will experience it again in the future. What I did when it happened, I said to myself that I maybe short today but I know tomorrow or the next day I will be not. These things happened and what I would do if it happen again is to be strong, be ready and to have a positive mind.

No Hope is Impossible!
Very true peonypink, we need to just tell that to our self: not all times are downtimes! Up we would be in any of these days! Nothing brings down a positive mind; nothing beats a brave heart and most importantly, no hope is ever impossible when we look up to God while we strive so hard to find His answers to those which we are trying to resolve! --gail montero

i've been to such situations as these but i think it's on a different level as yours because although i am working for my keep, i still am dependent on my parents for my daily basic needs like food and shelter.

Lucky of you, missymachi that you still your parents to depend on.
Go and grab every opportunity you can to upgrade your savings; but may you also be aware when to stop depending on your parents and start learning to budget on your own. Learning such stuff should be a good gift you could give to your self -- since if you cant learn it while you're still young, it would never be an easy task once you grow older. -- just some sort of tip which i hope you'd at least grab :-) --gailmontero
