Project '73 Lancer - Part 2: Save-Your-Money Phase
 
Today is a bad day at work. My mind is just not working right, and I've made very little changes to the programs I'm writing. The only achievement I did today is to get my own username at our SAP R/3 system (guess I'll be staying here a little longer... like 3 years...).
 
And then I figured that I needed P30,000 for Project Lancer. I know I still have problems with garage space (as I could imagine my parents protesting while I drive an old, hopefully-not-so-rusty car into the garage), but isn't it nice to just plan out things?
 
So how would I get thirty grand? Let's peek into my salary: P6,200 per payday. It'll only take me six paydays if I manage to spend only P1,200 per payday. I could spend P30 on food for 2 weeks (baon, of course), and P500 per week on fuel (95-octane gas only, hehe...). Therefore, I only have a free budget of P170 per biweek.
 
However, I also have to get the car to run. That'll mean more cash to earn, then burn. *sigh*
 
Moral lesson: Dreams can wait... *sigh again*
 
But I guess I can start saving P4,000 per payday. That'll get me moving... somehow...
