Ipon Goals: How to Save ₱50,000 a Year on Minimum Wage

​​
​“Paano mag-iipon kung kulang nga sa pang-ulam?”

Yan din ang tanong ko noon.

When I was earning minimum wage, I honestly thought ipon was a luxury. Parang: “Ako pa ba ang mag-iipon? Eh rice na nga lang ulit-ulit.”

But here's what changed my mind:

I saw my co-worker, si Ate Liza, na may tatlong anak, rented house, pero at the end of the year - may ₱50K siyang ipon. How?!

Simple: may diskarte, may commitment, at may goal.

👛 Real Talk: Minimum Sweldo ≠ Walang Pag-AsaLet’s do the math.

To save ₱50,000 a year, you only need:

Daily₱137
Weekly₱959
Every 15 Days (Kinsenas)₱2,084

Sounds doable, diba? Mas mahal pa 2 orders sa GrabFood.Pero syempre, real life hits hard. So paano nga ba siya magiging realistic?

💡 Here’s How I Did It (And You Can Too)

✅ Step 1: Know Your NumbersGumawa ako ng monthly budget using our Prosperity Max Budget Tracker (link below).
​
Hindi siya fancy — but it helped me see where my money was bleeding. Turns out, ang dami kong gastos sa "konting reward lang sa sarili".

✅ Step 2: Set Up a Separate Ipon Channel
​Nag-open ako ng second GCash account.
I called it “Huwag Gagalawin Fund.”

Every sweldo, I auto-transferred my savings there. Kahit ₱500 lang.
Pro tip: Out of sight = out of gastos.

✅ Step 3: Use a ChallengeI followed this simple Savings Ladder Challenge:

• Week 1: Save ₱100
• Week 2: Save ₱200
• Week 3: Save ₱300
• …hanggang Week 10: Save ₱1,000

Pagdating ng 10th week, may ₱5,500 ka na. Uulitin mo lang yan every quarter.
​
✅ Step 4: Extra Kita, Extra Ipon
Every time I got side gigs (like online surveys or selling perfume to office mates), 50% ng kita - derecho ipon.

Hindi siya malaki, pero it added up: ₱200 here, ₱300 there. By Christmas, may pang Noche Buena at bonus ipon pa.

🧠 Final Reminder from the Ex-ATM QueenHindi mo kailangan ng malaking sweldo para magka-ipon.

Kailangan mo lang:
✔ Disiplina
✔ Sistema
✔ At konting inarte sa ulam minsan

Nasa attitude talaga. Gusto mo ba? Kasi kung gusto mo, kahit piso-piso lang, magkakaipon ka.

💬 Note to SELF:"Di ko kailangan maging milyonaryo agad. Pero kailangan kong magsimula ngayon.”
