most people keep a list for their "expenses". they're too disciplined to make it and loyal to that list ,that's why they dont realize, their focus is on their "EXPENSES". and they dont have money to save/invest.
this 2011,try to make a list for your "savings/investments". your list should look like this "Savings for BPI,savings for BDO uitf, savings for MF-FAMI, Philequity, savings for healthcare, savings for retirement...etc".
In that way, your FOCUS is on SAVING/INVESTING , not on EXPENSES/SPENDING.
