I have been in the BPO industry for almost 4 years now. I started working right after I graduated from college and has been quite attuned with this nocturnal lifestyle associated with the career path I've chosen. I get to buy what I want and pamper myself with the highly competitive salary I am getting from this line of business. However, when I looked back from the very first day I started working, it just dawned on me that I haven't even bothered to save money for myself, and for my future. I'm guilty of living a life as if there is no tomorrow and spent every money I had to the last centavo. Ironically, I sometimes find myself financially broke compared to someone I know who is earning relatively lower than I do.
It just hit me one day how uncertain my future can be which motivated me to start saving. I started to note down all my expenses on a daily basis for me to check as to where my money goes and then forced myself to learn how to spend not more than what I am earning. Fortunately, I happened to have a friend who also helped me and taught me about BPI Save up which is very helpful. I have setup an automatic deduction from my salary and it goes straight to my BPI save up account without even noticing it. In this way I get to pay myself first before others. Believe me, with this kind of system, you'll be surprised to see your money grow each month without you knowing it. I know it's tough, but with a strong determination to save up for my future I know I can, and we all can make it and become successful one day.
