When buying a brand new car, learn to negotiate. All dealers will have a price list but these prices are negotiable. Here are some of the things I learned:

1. Ask around. All dealers have a price list but freebies and discounts varies per dealer. Compare against three dealers to get the best deals.
2. Negotiate on the price. Ask for discounts. It is possible to get as much as Php 60,000  cash discounts when you time your purchase or negotiate.
3. Ask for more than the standard freebies. Most dealers will give you free tint, matting and seat cover but you can always ask for more accessories.
4. Negotiate the interest rates. Interest rates are not fixed. Ask among the banks and compare it with in house financing. Chances are the dealer will match the bank rates.

Do your research before stepping into the dealers show room. An informed buyer is a better buyer.

Yes you heard it right, it’s not how much you earn that matters most. It’s how much you save.

You have seen a lot of famous personalities who in their peak are earning millions. Yet these people retired in poverty. You may have heard of actors, actresses, sports personalities, and corporate executives who have retired without any savings. But in their prime, they were spending left and right.

The key to living comfortably is to live within your means. Make sure you save enough for the rainy days.
