[CONTEST ALERT] Why are you more than a 10 this 2012? Win P5k CASH!

This 2012 marks my 7th year of being part of the corporate world. It all began last July 1, 2005 – exactly 15 days after my college graduation where I entered my very first office in Libis. I was a very new, and pretty young Marketing Services Officer for an international hardware brand (yes, I’m talking power tools, paints and woodworks) then. I can still remember how tiny my salary was back then that I would still rely on my parents to pay for my basic necessities. Thank God for giving me extremely generous parents. :)

With my low salary, I could hardly budget nor save for the rainy days. It really felt like me getting my school allowance only it comes twice a month not weekly. When I moved on to my second job, it was then that I was able to enjoy more luxury and at the same time learned how to budget my money wisely. Believe it or not, it was only then that I had my very first bank account. It was then that I learned the value of money and the importance of it.

Now that I’m married, all the more I have to be wise when it comes to organizing and budgeting our finances. We now have bills to consider, payables to account for and unexpected expenses that just pops out from nowhere. Believe me, it’s a crazy, complicated process.

That's a Jaguar, baby!

Paul and I are extremely excited for 2012 as we feel that this will be a big year for us. There’s that plan to finally purchase our own car, to scout around for our future home and there’s that big project that almost everyone has been anticipating for. Dear readers, please cross your fingers for us… let luck be on our side!

While we have our target car in mind, we are now searching a good bank partner whom we can work with for our auto loan. Then I came across Unionbank’s Easy Loan. Incidentally, they are having a big promo wherein from November 11 to January 22, 2012, they will be offering rewards to all home and auto loan clients. In addition to this, partner auto companies will also extend additional services and rewards for every purchase made. What a deal!
