Live Simply
So many fellow Filipinos working in the Middle East are coming home.
They are called OFW or Overseas Filipino Workers whose remittances amount to millions (or billions?) of dollars sent to the country every year. They keep the economy afloat and are even called as “Present Day Heroes”.Very apt I must say, for they don’t just “fight” and toil for their families but (in)directly help the country’s economy too.
With the ongoing conflict, they found themselves without jobs and uncertain future. With the rising oil prices along with the prices of basic commodities, we face a difficult life ahead and with what’s happening, it’s bound to be worse.
We all are challenged not just to cut back on unnecessary expenses but to live simply within our means.
Here are some few tips on how to live simply and have fun:
- Recycle
- Unplug your gadgets and spend quality time with your loved ones
- Go walking
- Know when to spot a scam to avoid people easily getting your hard-earned money
- Learn to be frugal
- Have more home-cooked meals
Having less money doesn’t mean having less fun. Happiness can’t be defined with how much you have in your wallet 🙂
