I've spent money recklessly
My Financial Story begins at Highschool
Quote in this whole story: “I promised myself that if I ever had a chance to make money again, I would not make the same mistake." - John "Bradshaw" Layfield (WWE Superstar, Author "Have more Money Now")
I repeat that statement every year and had a little improvement by adding 50pesos per week in my earned 100pesos back on Grade 6. But on my deep financial depression from Grade 7-10, I always go back earning 50pesos per week. Because of Projects, playing PCs every saturday spending 20 pesos per hour.
From 2014 a friend giving me a job as an Embutido door-to-door salesman. The Hard thing is in my first time of having a job is that I am not a social person. So, 2-3 days later I was fired by his brother my boss by not selling all the embutidos, well I have a poor income. Instead of I’m gonna keep that 200 pesos as my pay, this traitor(my friend) took the half. I deserved that to be punished but in the same time it is not FAIR!!! He had that family business so why take my first and last pay?
Another day, I took another job but its temporary and the next day, those kids took my job but luckily he gave me 500 for all the hardwork of lifting (it was like 1 or 3/4 sack of rice when i lift it) hollowblocks by 4 and half meter away from the house and reaching the 2nd floor.
“On my first experience, Capitalism plays an unfair game!”
2015: It was a last peak in Grade 10, I have my last 30 pesos and luckily my Mom, my Granduncle and my Uncle gave me three 100 pesos, so i have 330+ pesos from the start till end of Senior high.
2018:
I’ve tried this how to discipline yourself to earn money by a school librarian whom I treated it as a friend but it ends as she didn’t want a person who FAILS academically, but I have reasons (new blog coming soon).
Reaching the end of being a senior high student, me and my 2 friends were finding a job and we're doing it just fine. At first it was just fine until I’m gonna do a tying a box duty, except that I do not know how perfect it in a durable tying of a box, it always fall off. So I move to work on the 6th floor on the Warehouse Department from the Supermarket Department, the easiest but very VERY tiring job.
An old highschool classmate of mine really wanted to help me financially. I worked with her about the Networking Business that I have to absorb the experience. A terrible thing I did is when I spent 4000pesos for a ticket in a event elsewhere in the Philippines, then I just left. It’s overwhelming to have this kind of business that none wouldn’t care about. Then I have another job and another job then I earned almost reaching 5000 pesos. Then I give up for another job which is the On-the-job training as a helper in the kitchen and catering services which includes people interactions (like most of the time) within 80-90 hrs.
As I accomplished all these stuff, I graduated, I skipped a whole damn year without going to college, I have a job in a water delivery service then quit in just two weeks. And I go back to lifting the debris of broken walls and lifting hollowblocks. I only earned less than 5k in the whole job. I keep it a secret to my 3 annoying people, the Security guard and My Father's replacement driver and the driver from the other employer. They suggest me to play Small town lottery or what they called it:"Jueteng". I take that challenge in my mind "I should play it within a month. Heck it is my first win! I really regret spending it all to alcohol and ladies, I never wanted that, but they do. I was so infuriated that time, I spent a whole 3k, a winning ticket for college and for other stuff me, my brother and Mom wanted. Never in my whole damn life playing "Jueteng" when those guys are around.
I stop looking for a job because I forget the thing I wanna do for my Passion: Arts, Singing and Literature.
Money is still in the Piggy Bank. Gladly I never spend it. This is my last hope for financial needs. Never again spending on nonsense luxury ladies who would I give an orgasm. HELL never again with my annoying friends.
