NEW BANK ACCOUNT WITH METRO

This year 2009, I finally decided to push through with my plans to set aside some money for a savings account…it may be used for a planned trip/vacation…or an appliance/electronic gadget …or a birthday party or summer outing with the family…or even just for an emergency slush fund…whatever the purpose may be, the important thing is that I will try my best to set aside a little money each payday into a savings account. I was only able to start this at around March using the money my Papa gifted me as the initial seed money… then from each month’s payday, I would set aside an amount ranging from 200 to 500 to put into this savings fund. Sometimes, I admit I inadvertently get money from said account to buy needed toiletries/groceries but I still try to return the money as much as possible. Then, when the hubby took out a GSIS loan this month to refurbish the kitchen, I decided to finally open an account with Metrobank (which is just across the street from us) and deposit the money while waiting for our ‘tile-man’ to become available ( I think he stil has a pending project with Ate Ne and would be available next month pa…) I guess now that the money is in the bank, it would make it more difficult for me to get it easily well, sure there’s an ATM but I still need to get to an ATM machine diba? Unlike when the money is just stashed inside my cabinet in the house and I could easily get it anytime I want…now, at least I am more or less assured that I would only be using the money for meaningful purposes! So, here’s good luck to me! And I hope this venture of mine to save money would flourish for a long...long…long…time!
