allowance

200 a day doesn’t exactly suffice for a day in Taft, unless you know how to restrain yourself from buying expensive food or beverage. Not to mention, there are other things to worry about like transportation, photocopying handouts, computer rental for internet and encoding requirements, printing those requirements, prepaid, and saving money for the weekend.

I only have to go to school 3 days a week; that means 600 a week. What I do is I try to keep my budget to 58 a day, covering the train, jeep, and tricycle to and from school. That’s 174, 426 left. Computer rental and printing/photocopying, sometimes food and drink expenses fall there. I try to limit myself to 100-150 for everything other than transportation. Supposedly there should be Php326-Php276 left for savings. Unfortunately, that has to be used for Saturdays out. Would want to save more, but I don’t really want to ask for money from my mom. You see, it’s my uncle who gives my allowance.
