- A Filipina instantly got rich by P42,300 after doing her “50 Pesos Challenge” for five months.
- According to Yona, her wants can wait, but her needs cannot.
Just this year, a lot of saving money methods had been quite popular such as the 52-week Challenge, or the 20 Peso Challenge. It seems like most people nowadays have finally realized how hard it is when you do not have any emergency funds to use when you’re in need.
When a person has a savings, it is truly helpful especially when an unexpected expense comes out all of a sudden. Although some finds it hard to pursue saving money, there are a few who are successful in this matter.
One of the disciplined persons who were able to push through their savings is Yona Abella. Presently, her name has been talked about by many netizens because of her remarkable post.
The first thing that captivated the eyes of the netizens is the number of fifty-peso bills she has in the picture. Believe or not, she saved all of it in just a span of five days.
According to Abella, “Aminado ako, before magastos akong tao. Pero hindi naman kasi tayo pabata, patanda po tayo, kaya sana isipin natin lahat ng gagastusin natin dahil hindi natin alam may responsibilidad tayo sa buhay na dapat paglaanan ng savings.”
How did she do it? It’s because of her 50 Pesos Challenge.
Abella strictly followed the rules of her own game. She treated each fifty-peso bill as something invisible, whenever she receives a change in such amount. She didn’t use any of those bills to pay for whatever expense she had and decided to make use of what’s left in her money which is not a P50 bill.
After five months, she saved 846 pieces of 50 peso bills – amounting to P42, 300.
Yes, you’ve read that right. She was able to save a huge amount of money, enough to even buy herself a ticket overseas!
“Sobrang disiplina ginawa ko dito, kasi naniniwala ako na kapag gusto maraming paraan, kapag ayaw maraming dahilan,” she added.
Netizens were shocked to see how much she’d saved over the last five months. However, some of them thought that it isn’t possible to earn that much if a person would only save one fifty-peso bill a day – which led them to the assumption that Abella was probably a rich kid.
Nonetheless, many of them were inspired to do the same, but tweaking the rules a little bit like saving twenty peso bills instead of the fifties.
Sure enough, saving is possible to someone who is as determined as Abella. Would you like to do the same as well?
