Finally a young filipina with a plan in life💖

[@jenamarienubla6714]

How I really wish this and financial wellness is taught in school. Our country would probably be a little bit better if we were trained to handle money better.

[@CharmdeLeon]

Yes! Financial literacy should really be part of our basic curriculum

[@hannamariechan6665]

Oh my i think so too☹️ this thing how to manage finances should really have taught in school

[@tikitikiforeverandever]

thanks! i am already 30 y/o but i really learn a lot from younger people like you and nicole. kudos to you! looking forward to more contents like this :)

[@peterestevanez4258]

This is how I explain my personal finances to my friends, wow! Each account/credit card/e-wallet has its own purpose. I can't believe we even use the same planner for the journal. It is therapeutic when doodling things down, right? Before I had a tickler notebook to list down all of my expenses for the day. Now, I use excel to keep things more organized and for easier computation. I still keep the journal for an overview of everything. And having a net worth spreadsheet is pretty amazing. I'm so happy to have seen this. Keep up the great work!

[@CharmdeLeon]

Yes! I use spreadsheets for everything but it looks nice also on the planner! Haha 💕

[@peterestevanez4258]

Also, my decision to be more meticulous about finances began when I watched Matt D'Avella's video (Simple Steps to Financial Freedom). Wala lang. Nakakatuwa lang na we share so much in common.

[@CharmdeLeon]

I love this! I really appreciate your videos thank you!! I just started formally monitoring my finances last year 2020. I thought it would be tiresome to always track your expenses but it has been really insightful to learn where your money goes. I want to try to adopt your spreadsheet as I have recently been hating my spreadsheet format hehe. Kudos!!!

[@icesummer1725]

nice on the networth. I was waiting for that. I thought you only track your expenses. The networth spreadsheet is what will really inspire you to do more as you can see your network everymonth increasing and which investments or business are giving you more money :) I wish all young professionals are like you

Hello, Charm! I like watching your videos because they never fail to be informative. May I suggest you make a video about obtaining valid ID's in the Philippines? I think a lot of young adults are still confused by it now including me. Thank you!

Alelee Alvarez yes! I’ve actually been wanting to make this video! Thank you for the prompt 💕

[@maicojuangco4663]

I agree to this!!

[@mostly-posting-comments1515]

I've had my spending tracker app since college. As an adult it's gotten more complicated to get a good overview of my finance bc my investments/e-wallets don't necessarily fall into the app categories I want to. Ang daming sub categories. I think it's time I make my own spreadsheet 😅

[@CharmdeLeon]

[@nat_tfv]

My titaness is going to shine through with this question (🤣), but when did you and your boyfriend get a joint account? Is it purely for joint investments? How often do you discuss transactions tied to that account? I was also going to ask about the low interest rates, but I took a quick look at my own savings accounts and realized that nearly all banks have cut interest rates as of September. Looks like 0.125 is the new 0.25 for regular S.A.- augh!😩

[@CharmdeLeon]

The Finance VTuber yah! It all decreased 😢 With regards to our joint account, we started it for our Japan trip. We saved up weekly for 9 months and when it was time for the trip, we barely spent additional and everything came from our account. Right before our trip, we decided to open a joint COL acct, and we would each put in the same amount (you can also make individual accounts if you want to invest your own money). After that, it’s all basically 50/50. Sometimes, either of us would deposit a little more but it’s okay with us because that money will be spent for our future anyway and not for individual purchases. For the condo amortization, it’s also 50/50 ☺️

Good day Ms. Charm, I just want to ask for your thoughts about using piggy bank. Have you ever considered using it and do you think it is good to use (For not so big amount of money)?

[@CharmdeLeon]

Yes! For small amounts, it’s great! For 52-week challenges, coins, etc (maybe less than 100k so hindi sayang the potential growth)

[@InfoglanceMalayalamHARI]

[@Rafael-ye2bs]

Its hard managing personal finances, sometimes its hard whenever there are unexpected expenses like car repairs when your car suddenly broke down, so instead of having savings for that month, it became negative kasi nag abono ka pa from your emergency fund...

Just a question. How did you open UpSave and GSave? I wanted to open both but when I opened UpSave it said I could no longer open a GSave acct (because I already had an UPSave 😅). It's been a month and I still couldn't get around to having a GSave acct. Lol

If you opened UpSave first, you can’t open a GSave acct anymore :(

[@user-fg6re2km6y]

Hi Charm! :) This is very helpful. Quick question lang coz I noticed on your spreadsheet, you have several Life Insurance? Do you think it's a good thing instead of getting just 1?

[@CharmdeLeon]

Kristelle in my case yes because I’m the bread winner. I had an amount (coverage) in mind and since I couldn’t afford the entire coverage before, I opted to do get additional later on (from a different company to diversify). I have 3 life insurance and 1 health&life insurance combo. I would say 2 is usually enough for a lot of people. Depending on how many people depend on them for monthly expenses.

[@emmanuelcanoza3655]

Hi. I have a question. Regarding the Union Bank Debit, I have one, a visa card. Kaya lang gusto ko na sya iblock kasi wala namang laman since tinanggal ko, dahil one time naglolog in ako sa mobile app ng Union Bank , di ako makalog in dahil I need to update my phone number daw. I tried to reover my account using the debit card number, kaso there is a phone number na lumabas na nisendan ng OTP which is not my number. Then nung nalaman konh ganun niwithdraw ko na yung pera. Pero after an hour naopen ko naman ulit yung account ko. Pero di ko na nilagyan ng laman. At wala na ako planong lagyan. My question is if ireport ko sya na lost or stolen or wag nalang lagyan ng laman talaga, maccharge parin ba ako ng annual fee na 500.? Thank you 😊

just wondering why you chose those credit cards that have annual fees? 🤔

[@CharmdeLeon]

My annual spending is typically big so I usually get annual fees waived and if I do pay annual fees, the rewards and benefits are greater than the fees 😊

If you’re looking for Credit cards without annual fees for life, check these out from Citibank, highly reco the Rewards card. Simplicity Card : bit.ly/2GuOex0 Rewards Card : bit.ly/3kXaoqH

If you bought a faem lot pero binabayaran mo pa rin monthly, its still considered as liability pa no? Or pwede na sya ilagay sa asset column?

Both. Asset is the whole value ng lot, liability is yung utang mo (total na babayaran mo pa). Asset-Liability= Net Asset Value
