Dont be so kabahan with all their "requests", just say no. I know it's easier said than done but as an OFW, we should say NO often, otherwise, hindi tayo ma re-reach ang goal natin. It's either we give or we say no. I'd rather say NO often to their requests with matching sermon, para naman they'll get use to it na I won't give talaga. It's kinda working for me, by the way.<br /><br />Thanks, Rosalyn. Baka magka bump tayo sa airport! ang saya! :)Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-3416388662181003932014-11-26T03:49:46.185-08:002014-11-26T03:49:46.185-08:00Whew!

Pero madalas din na I feel guilty kaya I end up giving in. Sobrang hirap tumanggi pero ang hirap din naman magbigay ng magbigay. But I always tell them na hindi madali ang buhay abroad especially that I already have my own family here abroad. And I don't post anything "paimpress" or anything na makikita nila na madali ang buhay dito on facebook. By the way I am so happy for you that you are finally going home for good. I really admire your self discipline and determination to achieve your goals. Salute! Uuwi din ako samin 2weeks from now and ngayon pa lang kinakabahan na ko. I was able to save almost 200k within 2yrs of hardwork at kinakabahan ako na bgla nalang maubos sa 21days na pagstay ko sa pinas. Kaya napabalik ako sa blog mo to get some ideas on how to not overspend lalo na pag nasa pinas. Hehe! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, brilliant ideas and knowledge about saving and investing! Really helpful for us! Keep us posted on your next plans please. Take care! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421975485295316259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-85358096115806414362014-11-08T15:58:55.195-08:002014-11-08T15:58:55.195-08:00Baka biglang napa isip ang pinsan mo na "need...Baka biglang napa isip ang pinsan mo na "needed" talaga ang kanilang hinihingi? <br /><br />Sometimes naman, ma gi-guilty kaming mga OFW but we have to toughen our guts or we will end up walang savings.Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-4013646204235370562014-11-08T15:57:30.553-08:002014-11-08T15:57:30.553-08:00Ay, hopefully they really, really understand, Ate ...Ay, hopefully they really, really understand, Ate Jill.

If we are...Hi Maria, I totally agree with you 100%. If we are saying YES to everything they ask we are becoming part of the problem. We became the enabler, we are enabling them to rely on us and not to stand on their own feet. Who cares what other people think of us right? The important thing is that we are doing what is right even if it means saying NO.Ogie@MyJourneytoFinancialFreedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164091403299999179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-1563229790959488212014-11-04T18:21:13.394-08:002014-11-04T18:21:13.394-08:00It's good that your mother somehow got the les...It's good that your mother somehow got the lesson when she saw the tv being repossessed. Galing mo to say no every time your family wants something that's not a necessity, ha! It takes a certain degree of courage and discipline to do that. Yung mom ko magaling din manghingi ng kung anu-ano sa mga anak, dinadaan sa lambing. :)edelweizahttp://lifeinmanila.comnoreply@blogger.com
