Alternative Drinks

Soda is not really good for us it have high in fructose. If you are craving sweets or refreshments, you can have the healthy alternatives. Here they are:

1. Tomato juice – contains beta carotene and lycopene

2. Organic soda – that doesn’t contain high fructose. They are fruit-flavored soda. No caffeine at all. It is organic. But it is best to avoid any kind of soda because carbonation affects the stomach. However, carbonation and phosphoric acid in the soda can cause calcium loss in the bones.

2. Apple cider. I love apple cider.

4. Tea or coffee, unsweetened.

Over Spending

We been discussing with my wife about our financial status. I spent so much than I received from my salary. So we came up of solution that i would like to share it to my fellow men that has the same problem in over spending. First we must discover where our money going and to do this we must keep a record. We must be itemized to the last penny. By writing down every expenditure in a notebook so that we can trace up where our coins are dropping. The result may be a shock. Saving begins with wise spending. Nobody can tell us how to use our money wisely, whether it’s a quarter or a hundred pesos. Because if we like something we are tempted to buy it, with out knowing it is not necessary to have it. One such rule is to practice comparison buying. If you’re going shopping for something don’t just walk into the store and buy. Check out the item first and compare it to another store before buying it and see which is better to buy. Decide what you want first and plan what to buy. Buy only what are you really want and make sure the quality meet your needs. Be selective, after all- it’s your money. When you spend more that you earn you help contribute to inflation. When you buy more food than you can eat, you help raise prices. So one way to beat inflation is by spending less and saving or invests more. There are certain rules, which can help you get the most of your money. For example those store use the word SALE a lot now because of inflation. They feel it’s attracting customer. A sale item may be worth the price it’s selling at, but it may never have been worth the price. ON SALE may not always be good buys. Remember- money even in small amount gives freedom to do something. In the whole process we can start by saving a peso or even a centavo for solid financial stability in the near future and have saving for the rainy days.
