Tax it to me Gently

It's payday and boy were we all surprised at how big taxes really are. It's the start of the year so people will yield tax worth 1 year divided by 12 -I'm bad at math but the point is taxes are huge and painful.

That means skipping some coffee shop treats and filling out our shopping cart with gadgets. Savings will also move slow~ly when I'm almost about to reach my goal. To see the good in bad, I already have plans on how to soften this taxing situation. One, I don't need to go out after work daily and there are still cheap stuff available. We are in the Philippines after all.

Today I discovered that there's still a Php 7.00 worth of soda, Pop Cola! And it tastes good, forgive my ignorance but it's delicious and cheap. Then, there are cafeterias in the vicinity offering food as low as Php 25.00 (complete with rice and a healthy viand).

Tax payers are doing everything to tighten their belts, I've been paying for just 2.5 years but I hope my taxes go somewhere. Philippines, please use our taxes wisely.
