Be Financial Literate with these books from Chinkee Tan
If you are a follower of my Facebook page, you’d see my updates about various sales in the metro last week. Ang dami nila at sabay sabay talaga.
My goal whenever I share a sale event on my page is for you to take advantage of the opportunity to get the items you need at a discounted price. I don’t want you to go there right away and waste your time roaming around, so if I can, I want to give you a glimpse of the items and their prices first.
To make it up to you and for you to be able to fix your finances, I have 2 books of Chinkee Tan here that I will be giving away together with this money/bills organizer that I love to use.
I wish that these two books entitled My Ipon Diary and Diary of a Pulubi will help you to be financially literate and take control of your finances.
Diary of a Pulubi – it has 22 money lessons on how to avoid going broke.
My Ipon Diary – will give you simple to use saving tips to help you achieve your financial goals.
This wallet, on the other hand, is for you to separate money for your bills so that you can see if you have some left for your other needs.
I brought this last time at the Bayad Center and some of the people lining up looked fascinated with it hehe.
This wallet has 10 slots which I personally break down into the following:
TITHE– as a Catholic we were not forced to follow the 10% Tithe in our church. When I was young, I am used to seeing people put coins on the basket going around the church during “paghahandog”. There’s nothing wrong with it especially if you’re not earning enough. But, when I attended The Feast, I realized that you need to return what is for God and based on my experience He never lets us down. He returns it doubled or tripled. This is what I choose believe.
Emergency Funds– 20% of your income should go here. I hope that we’ll be able to fill this up. To help you know how much to put here, you need to study your monthly expenses. The emergency fund should cover at least 3-6 months of your monthly expenses.
Life Insurance – If you are the breadwinner and you love your family, you need to have a Life Insurance. I already talked to a financial advisor. We will sign a contract before the year ends. I choose to get a life insurance with return of investment that we can use when we retire.
Fire/Car Insurance – we have 2 houses, we don’t have a car so I only choose to indicate Fire Insurance. We don’t wish for something to happen but in case at least we are prepared. Sabi nga okay lang manakawan, wag lang masunugan.
BILLS – I have an area for water (which includes homeowners fee ), Meralco, Internet and Cable. Ren’s therapy is included here too. Those are the things we need to have a budget every month.
For Nanay – It’s not much because my mom sometimes refuses to have it but I still give her some extras.
Then there’s the area for WANTS, House renovation and Travels – these are my less priority.
Do you want these things?
Knowing how to budget and spend our income wisely is a must for all mommies. thanks! #SpreadtheLev
I am eyeing to have these Chinkee Tan books for saving. I want to read it, learn from it, and apply it. I am 35 now and I can really say that I have a little savings. I really want to save more for my daughter’s education and future and for my retirement as well. I want to be financially literate and stable, and to have savings that will sustain me when I retire. Though realization came late to me about saving, I know that it is not too late to save and I will start it now.
#spreadtheLEV
Though I am saving for my family’s future, I still want to learn how to save more. I am also excited to use the bills/money organizer, this will be a big help for me to budget and be in control of my finances. I really wanted to be responsible with my earnings and to save a lot for me and my family’s health, education, travel, and retirement and I know with the help of Chinkee’s books, I will learn a lot.

#spreadtheLEV
Kuddos mommy levy. Naeenjoy ko pong basahin ang mga tips ang advice nyo.. more power. #spreadtheLEV
I hope many more moms like me especially those stay at home moms would follow you Mommy Levy aside from we moms were the one who’s in charge on groceries it’s really a big help for us, like what you said on the first paragraph of this article that your goal is to help us to take advantage on the items we NEED at discounted price without wasting our time, and you even give us the glimpse of the prices and the items which were on sale and that’s a big thing for me lalo na ngayon sa mahal ng pamasahe. 😔
Parati ko nakikita yung books ni Sir Chinkee Tan, how I hope before my LIP leave this country to provide for our future makabili na ako niyan. I used to only join some groups kasi that inspire me para mag ipon but I think hindi enough, dahil narin sa knowledge about how to really save! Those books are one on my WANT list, I even have a picture of it on my phone. I used to save picture of the things that I WANT for me to decide which I WANTED the MOST when my LIP want to treat or reward me and this help me a lot. Parati ko nga lang di napapansin yung books ni Sir Chinkee Tan, this one is on my TOP list now thank for reminding me again Mommy Levy happy that I read this article! 💛 #spreadtheLEV
Very useful for budget conscious peeps like me 😊 #spreadtheLEV
So ganda ng organizer bet na bet ko yung ganyan super helpful #spreadtheLEV

Gusto ko talaga makabili ng book ni Sir Chinkee Tan kaso lagi akong busy sa pag aalaga at pagbabantay ng small business namin kaya wala ng time bumili sa book store. Pero everytime na mag open ako ng FB ko,chinecheck ko mga post sa page nya.

Magaling nman ako mag budget mommy Lev. Bukod sa hindi ako maluho pinalaki kami ng mga magulang namin na maging practical and to live within our means. Madami ako natutunan sa sa mga blog mo mommy Lev ..fulltime mom ako at isa sa pinaka hobby ko magbasa ng blog mo though aminado ako na nag sasave talaga ako ng pera panload para makabasa ng mga posts sa blog mo. Sana mapili ako madami kasi pako gusto matutunan bout financial literacy plus wala pako organizer ng pera sa mga pages lang ng notes ko nilalagay ung pera pambudget namin para naka segregate. Thank u and more power po and God bless Mommy #LevLevLev
Ako talaga mommy levy is pag dumating ang padala ni husband, talagang nagoorganize ako ng money, binubudget ko sya talaga kasi alam ko na mahirap maging ofw, and ayoko naman na habang buhay na don si husband. Kaya nililimit ko din talaga ang pagbili ng unnecessary stuff, i also make sure na nakakapagtabi din ako monthly para sa savings.
#LevLevLev
Sana po magkaroon din po aku nyan..pangarap k yan…
#LevLevLev
Sana manalo ako kasi kailangan ko talaga yang books na yan and the money organizer yung book kc ipabasa ko sa anak kong super makagastos para magkaroon sya ng goal sa buhay at di puro shopping lang…
#LevLevLev
More power to you Mommy Levy. You keep us sane! Lol #LevLevLev
Bagay sakin to mommy levy.hirap kase ako mag budget hehe
#LevLevLev
Aminin natin, budgetting ay sobrang hirap. Tingin ko nga po, special skill yun ng mga nanay na magaling sa larangan na ito e. I’m still on the process of right budgetting. Distinguishing what our needs and wants. Sometimes, I gave in to temptations (haha) but slowly Im learning how to cover my eyes and ears to those on SALE! #LevLevLev
Sana po mapili ako mommy para mas mapadali saken bilang ina kung pano at san ko ilalagay yung bawat bayarin ko.
#levlevlev
Hoping to win these. . I have been trying to use the envelope method na din for a few mpnths,pero mas maganda ata yong naka wallrt para isang bitbitan! Thanks for all the tips!
#LevLevLev

#LevLevLev
I am also a fan of your blog po mommy levy and i am in a strict budgeting when it comes on our finances since i was the one whos in charge when it comes to budgeting, i dont tolerate my kids specially on buying things that comes out to be wants than their needs, i believe that we as parents should prioritize the basic necessities than the things that we only wants, we can spend a little bit for the things we want but not disregarding the important matters first
#LevLevLev
My mom also told me the wallet method.. trying my best padin to do it in a proper way #LevLevLeb
Wow ang nice ng wallet / money organizer na yan mommy Levy! I think I need one… saan nabibili yan! Mas mapapadali ang pag separate ng money to budget ang mga bayarin at gastusin.
