A Family Was Able To Save For A Boracay Getaway With The P100,150.00 They Saved For 18 Months

Nowadays, it is so easy to say that we will start saving but when it comes to the actual “saving” it is also easy to pick our coin banks so we can buy what we want.

One family got to book a summer getaway to Boracay for the whole family when they found a way to save without being tempted to open their coin banks to get their savings.

Peso Sense Facebook page, a page that aims to help Filipinos gain financial freedom, posted a story about a family being able to save up for a Boracay getaway.

Temptation

The three kids in the story were able to save for a Boracay summer getaway for the whole family by saving their school money (baon) and money that is given to them by their dad and uncles.

Before, they admitted that they were always tempted to pick out the money that they are able to save and the money that is given to them by their dad, uncles or grandparents.

The solution

Because of this, they thought of a way where they can save without being tempted to pick out the money that’s already inside the coin bank.
