Currently, I am unemployed. My only means of earning is through baking goods and Mylot.
I still don't know why at times, when I know that I still have some cash, I feel broke. I guess I know that money for me is just temporary since I don't have a job and have been struggling with taking orders from people since most of my customers are earning a little.

In our country it's power and electricity that eats up a lot of the budget, if you can do that it's a good start
You have not told us how many you are in the family, ages of members, etc.. Its easier to form a savings plan if we know more facts

Since you know to bake, try marketing your skills and hope you have your specialization in any recipe of your own..

@dyoizzz_lj Wow! I thought Boholanons are the only ones who can make that. Kalamay is very delicious! I'm drooling right now.

We have to have some money in order to save. I save by learning how to cookk well with unespensive ingredients. And I take care of my clothes.

Hi @EMbakes I am employed but struggles the same thing. I don't know why. I may have a job but transportation eats me a lot! Although there are some alternative routes to save some cash time and traffic will be the demand. I also have my online shop of goods, then decided to go back to mylot again. It's really hard to budget when we have unending bills and a child to support. Let's just strive hard to earn more.

I don't know why at certain point, when I feel that I'm broke, I always think of Mylot. I don't know why.
I'm not earning so much here but maybe through multiple interactions from intellectual people motivates me to strive harder.
I hope you get to feel that too.

@rairaianne14 Funny how a small amount of cash can excite us.
Mylot has some sort of magic.

@EMbakes yeah I'm broke now so I thought maybe Mylot still exist. ha ha ha funny but I think Mylot quite helps us to manage some things that we feel. Not only because they give us money right! :)

I know the feeling. We have been without for so long that even when we do have a little bit of money I get worried because I know it will be gone in the blink of an eye. Of course it's never much money to begin with anyway.

I can understand that, not having a more regular job with paychecks that come regularly can be stressful. all I can say is start saving, even if it's the tiniest amount. Each week put that tiny amount back, and over time it will help!

Baking is a good business. You can make more as you establish yourself as a great baker of goods, with a great heart for customer satisfaction. I believe I will buy from you if I'm near your place. You can also be involved in other business to supplement your earnings. We have a branch in your area where you can see if it can be something you can do.

that's how I feel sometimes.. it's always good to keep some extra cash but to earn more you have to think of anything like selling goods ..it's really not easy to earn money..

It's really hard especially in our country where most people would compromise quality for the sake of the price.

I am employed in an accounting/law firm but still I take remote projects on Upworrk and do them on weekends and weeknights. I save every penny that I earn. I only stick to my needs (rent, food and toiletries).
