I also live in philoppines . But my example is the current wage in the US, so that their wage is enough to live and they have also a savings. In the philippines the wage of employee is not enough to live, theres many expences, like paying bills, foods and etc. But, if you want really to save, its up to you not in your wage. You have choices save your money if you really want or dont save thats easy.
Nope friend, where ever you are, Just try to reduce your extra expenses like mobile recharges, unnecessary shopping, hotel expenses,travel expenses and etc... try to find a perfect job for you with good extra benefits that also will help you..Just try these things if suitable for you.
That is good advice to the people living in USA. In other countries, the take home salary barely supports the basic living needs. People do not have holiday, do not stay in hotels. If they have to stay hotel, it is usually the cheap ones.
