I have this weird but effective pre-purchase behavior. Before I splurge, will always check my financial worksheet to remind myself my cashflow status. Do I have installment purchases? How is my 6-month projection? Pag sumakit ulo ko, thats a sign, I will abandon my purchase. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
Been doing this since my first job. I will always ask myself. how do I plan to pay this? What will I sacrifice? Most of the time, I will look for extra income so I can buy things. I remember how I plan to buy my first ipod shuffle. That was only 4k during that time. Haha!
Okay then I remember how I got my first iphone It was 3GS. I sold like 4 2ndhand iphones for 20k sa TipidCP, my margin was like 5 to 8k. That& #39;s how I started my savings plan. And then I realize I& #39;ve been selling iphones na sa buong office namin. My workstation became a tindahan.
It was very successful na I do not understand how it happened. I even have a sales team to get referrals. Haha! And so I save up, because I wanted something bigger, I wanted to buy my freedom and I wanted to study in DLSU& #39;s MS Entrepreneurship program.
And so in 2014, I resigned from my work and begin working with startups while I study in grad school. I still like to believe that it is the best decision I& #39;ve made. And I& #39;m just proud how it all happened.
Hahaha teka bat ba ako napunta dito eh bibili lang naman ako ng PS4 games. End of thread.
