❓ Question: What are the real culprits or reasons why some people struggle with saving money? What should we avoid to refrain from overspending?

💻 ChatGPT: People often struggle with saving money due to a variety of factors. Here are some common culprits and strategies to avoid overspending:

### **Common Reasons for Struggling to Save:**

1. **Lack of Budgeting:** Without a clear budget, it's easy to lose track of spending and income.
2. **High Expenses:** Essential costs like rent, utilities, and groceries can consume a large portion of income, leaving little for savings.
3. **Impulse Buying:** Unplanned purchases and impulse buys can derail financial goals.
4. **Debt:** High-interest debt can consume a significant portion of income, making it difficult to save.
5. **Lifestyle Inflation:** Increasing spending as income rises can prevent savings growth.
6. **Lack of Financial Goals:** Without specific savings goals, it’s harder to stay motivated and focused.
7. **Poor Money Management Habits:** Inadequate tracking of expenses and income can lead to overspending.
8. **Emotional Spending:** Using shopping as a coping mechanism for stress or emotions can lead to unnecessary spending.

### **Avoiding Overspending:**

1. **Create a Budget:** Track income and expenses meticulously. Allocate funds for savings, necessities, and discretionary spending.
2. **Set Financial Goals:** Establish clear, achievable savings goals to stay motivated and focused.
3. **Avoid Impulse Purchases:** Implement a "cooling-off" period before making non-essential purchases.
4. **Use Cash or Debit:** Pay with cash or debit cards to avoid overspending and accumulating credit card debt. (Reminding each other to avoid getting involved in haraam / unlawful and illegal transactions)
5. **Limit Credit Card Use:** Only use credit cards for planned expenses and avoid carrying high balances.
6. **Track Your Spending:** Regularly review and adjust your spending to stay within budget.
7. **Plan Major Purchases:** Save and plan for significant expenses instead of buying on credit or in a hurry.

9. **Cut Unnecessary Costs:** Identify and eliminate non-essential spending, such as subscription services or frequent dining out.
10. **Seek Financial Advice:** Consult with a financial advisor to create a personalized savings plan and investment strategy.

By addressing these factors and implementing these strategies, individuals can improve their ability to save money and manage their finances more effectively.

In the Philippines, here are practical alternatives to food delivery services like Grab Food and Food Panda to save money:

1. **Cook at Home:** Prepare your meals using local ingredients, which are often cheaper than ordering out. Filipino recipes that use staples like rice, vegetables, and meat can be budget-friendly.

2. **Meal Prep:** Plan and prepare meals in advance. Cook large batches of dishes like adobo, sinigang, or pancit and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for future meals.

3. **Market Shopping:** Buy fresh produce, meat, and other ingredients from local wet markets (palengke), which often offer lower prices compared to supermarkets.

4. **Buy in Bulk:** Purchase non-perishable items like rice, canned goods, and cooking oil in bulk from wholesalers or grocery stores to save money over time.

5. **Cook with Leftovers:** Reuse leftovers creatively to create new meals, such as turning yesterday’s roasted chicken into chicken afritada or chicken salad.

6. **Utilize Discount Stores:** Shop at discount or budget grocery stores like Puregold or SM Hypermarket for better deals on food and household items.

7. **Community Food Sharing:** Participate in community potlucks or food-sharing programs where you can share cooking duties and reduce individual meal costs.

8. **Grow Your Own Vegetables:** Start a small garden for herbs, leafy greens, or vegetables that can help reduce grocery expenses. Many Filipinos grow their own kangkong (water spinach) or sili (chili peppers) at home.

9. **Local Carinderias:** Eat at local carinderias or eateries that offer affordable and home-style Filipino dishes. These are often cheaper than delivery services.

10. **Bargain Shopping:** Look for local promotions, discounts, and sales at markets and grocery stores to save on food purchases.

By exploring these alternatives, you can effectively manage your food budget and reduce reliance on costly delivery services.
