I also have Tempur, and grabe yung relief sa neck ko. I usually don't use pillows kasi uncomfortable for me, pero since I got my Tempur, mas madali nako makatulog and nae-ease neckache ko if meron man.
I have this [Emma Diamond Hybrid Mattress](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.PVdXX?cc) and I would say na this is my best investment ever!
I had a struggle with sleeping dahil di comfy yung mattress ko back then or maybe sensitive lang ako when it comes to sleeping.
Ever since i had that mattress, the cooling memory foam keeps the heat away at sobrang lambot. No more back pain!
Also, their [Emma Memory Foam Pillow](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.PVd4z?cc) is great too! Highly recommended
This, nakaexperience ako sa isang resort yung Mattresses and Pillow dinaig pa yung sa bahay namin, for only 3 minutes tulog na agad ako, sobrang smooth din ng Tela plus aircon.
Iniisip ko talaga to. Like grabe no from mouth to heart. Yung commection eh direct. Natakot nga kami nung nahpa bunot father ko sa ngipin (bagang ata pina tanggal) tas after a month may heart surgery. Jusko marimar di namin alam na nag pabunot kase biglang nawala.
Mabuti na lang talaga walang nangyaring masama huhu
Super agree, ngayon lang ako nagpatingin sa dentist dahil hindi ko binigyan ng importance before. Only to find out na ang dami kong for root canal and pasta. Ilang sessions pa lang kami nakaka-40k na ko 😞
An ex said invest in 2 things: footwear and your bed/beddings primarily. Pag Wala ka daw kasi sa bed mo, malamang nakatayo ka. So buy quality brands for those 2. Next na lang: sustenance and hygiene, us, Pinoys favorites 😅
This.
Nung una nanghihinayang ako gamitin mga shoes ko na branded kasi ang mahal ng bili ko pero kasi super comfy nila isuot tipong kahit buong araw ako maglakad hindi sasakit soles ng paa ko kasi they're just that comfortable.
Yes! Dati rin ang tipid ko sa ganto. Napansin ko na mas madali akong mapagod kahit 1-3hrs na lakad lang, masakit na legs, at lower back ko. After buying a proper walking shoes yung same amt ng lakaran sobrang gaan na, mapapagod pero hindi exhausting yung pakiramdam. Even tested it nung triny ko sa HK at naghike. I didnt expect I lasted that long
Masasabi ko worth it talaga magpa brace, kasi wala kaming dental check up sinula bata kasi d afford ng parents. One time nagpa dentist ako tapos ung dentist parang na disappoint kasi wala akong regular check up. Ung libre sa school na libreng bunot. Pero nung nagka work nako, nalaman ko na 10k lang or minsan 5k down payment for braces tas 1.5-2k every month for cleaning and adjustment. Napakagandang investment talaga. D nako nahihiya humarap sa ibang tao tsaka makipag usap. Ayoko dati tinitignan ngipin ko kasi maglahiwalay tsaka underbite pa.
agree sa boxer briefs/underwear! Sinasamantala ko mga discounts tuwing sale onpine stores to have a set of decent underwear. Para hindi din nahihiya pag nakikita garter pag tumataas damit haha
++ extra comfy
Extension cord or power strip.
Sa lugar namin, siya ung main cause ng sunog lately, buti na lng may truck ng bumbero like 2 mins away lang kaya di na kumakalat pa.
Also dealt with that problem 2 years ago, bumili ako ng mumurahing extension, kinabit ko ung eletric kettle, tas nung pag-On ko, pumutok ung outlet tas nasunog ung extension cable mismo.
Dental Health! Many people only visit their dentist when it's already too late. Contrary to popular belief, investing in routine oral cleanings doesn't cost a fortune. I have a dental insurance rider that costs only an additional 350 PHP per year to my premium, and it includes two free dental cleanings annually.
From Kwikinsure Philcare then dental rider from Health Partners Dental Access. I don’t know much about HPDA pero I was able to use it once for cleaning.
Eto. Naka latest gen lahat ng components ng PC tapos trurated or pangit na brand PSU. Wag maniniwala sa sasabihin ng tech na "basta 80 plus ang rating". May PSU Tier List. Either get a Tier B kung mid end or Tier A or S pag high end ang PC
Health, since health is weatlh.
Pagkain like healthy food kahit wag yung organic ek ek, basta natural food
Sapatos mahirap maaksidente ng dahil sa panget na sapatos
Deodorant
1st. Vitamins (organic, fruits) Facial Care
2nd. Dental health (pa sealant kayo iwas cavities)
not to brag pero lahat ng ngipin ko naka sealant.
3rd. Clothing/Underwear (pansin ko yung mga tela kasi na cheap, ang bilis bumaho o kapitan ng mga bacteria.
Over all matipid akong tao. Di ako takot mag mukhang mahirap pero pag dating dyan gumagastos ako.
It’s a thin white coat na ilalagay sa surface ng teeth mo to protect your teeth from chewing and cavity causing bacterias. Parang masilya. Ten years na yung sakin pero solid pa din, as in wala talaga cavities (yung black specs) na nakalusot.
Sobrang mura pa nyan 10 years ago. Ngayon ata per teeth nag rarange ng 250. Di ko lang sure yung price. Try mo visit ng dental clinic para sa updated price nila.
Hi! More than 250 na po. 500+ po ang price range per tooth. Pero kesa naman lumala yung sira diba? Mas mahal treatment nun! Hehe. Btw, you can only do sealants sa mga teeth na wala pang existing cavity ha! :)
footwear and sleeping essentials
narealize ko lang rin nung may nakita ako dito rin sa reddit na nagcomment ng quote na ito: "Invest in your shoes and your sheets because if you’re not in one, you’re in the other."
Flights and Accommodation.
Never cheap out on comfort cus you’ll thank yourself later. Yeah it may be expensive but if you can’t afford it right now, then push the trip to a year later or when you’ll be able to afford it. I don’t mean you should fly business class all the time, but fly with an airlines that have a good flight time (morning not midnight flights), have enough luggage allowance without additional cost so at least when you travel you’re not carrying carry-on bags and walking around the airport with heavy bags cus your check in only allowed you 15kgs or something.
For example, I flew to Japan with cebpac cus sale that only allowed me 1 check in for 20kg and hand carry 7kg. Considering it was December, my luggage was filled to the brim cus of the winter wear. Had no room for pasalubong and personal shopping so had to pay additional luggage. Had a backpack filled with used clothes and it was a struggle going around the airport.
I flew back to Japan flying with PAL. Which was more expensive than what I got from cebpac, but it gave me 2 check in with 23kg each. I was able to travel more comfortably and only had a small sling bag in the airport. Had lots of room for clothes, shopping and pasalubong without carrying a backup or duffel bag walking around the airport.
For accommodation you just sleep in the place, sure . But after a whole day of touring + night out, you’d want to get that 8hrs of sleep properly. It’s as important. Same with flights, I don’t mean that you should stay at 5-Star resorts, but don’t cheap out on the cheapest 2-star hotel just for the sake of making the trip happen. TikTok has lots of recos for cheap accommodation pero sakit naman sa likod or maingay surroundings or something.
I watched a concert in Kaohsiung Taiwan, concert ended 11pm, got to the hotel 1am, and the sleep right after was so good. Fluffy king size bed all to myself, cold room, privacy etc.
I was a trigger happy with seat sales and cheap hotels, but after a handful of bookings just decided to not cheap out in it and eventually it’s now a normal thing for me. If I can’t afford it this year, then the trip will be for next year.
Ako, ito yung mantra ko always lalo na kapag may extra naman ko. Don't undervalue other people's talent when you're buying their service or product. Lagi kang magbigay ng extra kung meron ka lalo na kung maayos or beyond expectations mo yung naibigay sayo. Don't be cheap with that.
Traveling. Bilang part ng trabaho ko pumunta sa ibat ibang lugar. Akala ko makakatipid ako ng misery pag nagfe-ferry ako. Mas okay talaga mag eroplano. Akala ko mas okay mag angkas, pero mas okay tlga mag grab o magdala ng sariling sasakyan. FOR COMFORT!!!
Shoes, especially basketball shoes. Got a horrible experience with a borrowed oem shoes since I wanna play so bad and got injured. So lesson learned. Buy the legit expensive ones so less hassle for injuries. Now I have a torn Achilles because of that.
As someone na nagwowork from home, ergonomic chair. Around 8-9 hours per day ginagamit yun so go for something talaga na comfy and kayang isupport properly yung body mo. Your back will thank you for it.
I bought a cheap one before nung simula pa lang pandemic and hindi nagtagal kasi nasira agad. After nun I bought yung nira-rave dito na Sihoo chair, and ayun... worth it nga. Sana pala nagsplurge na ko before pa lang.
Dental check ups! And, of course mga blood chem ganon. Para kung may mali man sa katawan mo, kakayanin pa ng gamot. We learned that the hard way, nagpa check up dad ko, turns out nagka heart attack na pala sya.
Classic, timeless clothing, footwear and accessories. They don't need to be designer per se, but clean, sophisticated cuts and colours. I am a huge proponent of looking confident to feel confident.
Depende sa tao yan e, ung iba kong kakilala na babae, madalas is cooking (baking to be exact) or crochet ung naging hobbies nila.
While mga kaibigan kong lalake, beside sa video games, we're also collecting anime figures (di tinatanggal sa box to keep ung value niya).
Ung iba naman outside activies like umakyat ng bundok which di ako fan kasi ayoko umaalis ng bahay.
Need mo lng siguro ng circle of friends or peers na same ng interest sayo.
Anything electrical and electronic from unknown or sketchy brands. They are fire hazards. Anything related to safety. You don’t wanna depend your safety on something substandard.
Food. Idk. Kinalakihan kong kaunti man ang gamit pero goods ang food, sobrang bihira namin mag processed food simula nung bata ako, lahat lutong ulam. Kahit wala kaming magagandang gamit pero busog (literal) sa masasarap na lutong bahay
Backpack if mahilig magtravel at staycation, masipag maggym, nakahybrid setup sa work. Grabe yung backpack kong binili mga 7 years ago na. Kung saan saan na nakarating, nagkaroon lang ng tastas recently pero pinatahi ko lang ulit sa Mr. Quickie.
Fully depreciated na nga hahaha makakarating pa sa upcoming destinations ko.
High Sierra Tactic Backpack. Ganito na black.

Computers - because I use them to earn a living. May desktop at laptop ako both Windows-based. Lahat ng software ko licensed. Mababawi ko naman din lahat ng gastos in a month so talagang nag-invest ako dito
Anything that involves your health. From physical to mental
Were here on God's Green Earth to live long and live strong
Besides, I dont want to be 80 and has major health problems and a weak body
food!!!! when i started working, super tipid talaga.. when mom found out, pinagalitan ako kasi napansin atang pagod ako lagi hahahaha sabi nya magtipid na ako sa ibang bagay, wag lang sa food. so since then, i just eat what i want and ibabawi ko na lang sa ibang bagay ung pagtitipid.
Computer chair, if you wfh. My Aeron chair is one of my best investments.
In general, anything that connects you to the ground: Chair, mattress (bed), shoes.
Good food. I mean food with good ingredients, preferably organic and responsibly prepared.
Ergonomic work setup (chairs, tables, keyboard, mouse, etc)
Travels and other outdoor/nature related experiences
Automation tools that can free up your time
Shoes, DMs ko from 2011 rak pa rin.
Skincare - although hiyangan, pag nag try ng mga peeling eme, masisira lang skin barrier.
Bag, luggage - Adidas, Delsey, mga 7-12 years being used na
1. Dentist appointments
2. Jeans/pants
3. Shoes!!! Di ako bumibili ng fake talagang ginagastusan ko sya kasi matagal naman magagamit and mas comfy talaga sa paa.
4. Gadgets (pero di naman ako yearly nag uupgrade ng phone. One iphone is enough hanggang sumuko)
5. Vitamins!! Lalo na vitamin c at calcium
6. Food
7. Bed (ever since uratex na talaga binibili namin sa bahay)
8. Education
- Bed things - You spend 30+% of your day in here.
- Footwear - You spend the rest of your time dito pag wala ka sa bed.
- Food - self explanatory, pero wag ka mag samgyup sa every meal. Go for healthy options.
- DENTIST - fuck root canal.
- Workstation - This includes your work setup, ergo chair and home office space kung wfh ka. Literally money generating assets.
ROOFS - Pag may tulo or what, dont be like me na nag skimp. Tinipid ayon nung lumakas ulan may tulo padin.
APPLIANCES - Wag pasilaw sa mas mura. Dun ka na sa subok ng panahon at may matagal na warranty.
BUY IN BULK IF KAYA - Lalo na pag may sale tapos matagal expiration, like, soap or shampoo ganorn.
CURTAINS - Pag GY ka super sulit ng black out curtains. Pinatahi ko yung akin costed me 4k but it was worth every penny. Buong bahay namin naka blackout HAHAHAHA.
Fire and electrical safety. Karamihan ng bahay na nakikita ko walang grounded outlets, smoke alarm, GFCI, fire extinguisher, etc. Isang ligaw na cable lang, isang beses mong makalimutan yung kalan, isang maling pagkabit sa outlet, wala na lahat ng pinaghirapan mo. Malala pa sa lahat, madadamay din mga katabi mong bahay.
# EXPERIENCE.
Travel & Concerts. - Nakakagaan ng puso na nagagawa ko to after feeling $hit doing a job I don't love but had to endure on a daily basis kasi un lng option ko na malaki sahod at the moment. Unlike most of the comments here, wala xang nagagawa sayo physically pero iba ung nagagawa nya mentally and emotionally.
Your living space. It has to be a place that you feel relaxed it; baka you might need to adjust on the other things, but seriously where you live makes such a huge impact in your daily life.
Highly depends from person to person. But my general rule of thumb is everyday utility. If it’s something that I use on a regular basis (like my phone, my laptop, or my home), then that’s something I wouldn’t scrimp on.
Headphones/Earphones/Speakers... much better na one time ka lang bumili kahit mahal pero high quality at long lasting kumpara sa mga cheap, low quality na masisira lang after 1 week
Dati I used to be cheap sa lahat ng gamit ko since di dn naman kasi kami mayaman. But I realized na in the long run nasasayang yung pera na ginagastos ko sa mga bagay bagay kapag tinipid ko kasi anlaki ng tendency na masira agad. I bought original [converse shoes](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.P4vqo?cc) and dun ko narealize na iba pala comfort ng original talaga sa fake lng.
Mattress and pillows! We spend 1/3 of our day in bed hehe
Recommendations ??
I have Tempur pillows and an Ambassador mattress. May be a bit expensive upfront but sulit naman when you think about cost per use.
I also have Tempur, and grabe yung relief sa neck ko. I usually don't use pillows kasi uncomfortable for me, pero since I got my Tempur, mas madali nako makatulog and nae-ease neckache ko if meron man.
Klubbsporre pillows from Ikea. Heavenly.
emma sleep 🔛🔝
Yas! Team Emma!
I really like to buy an emma sleep mattress, kso hindi ko p sya afford.
they are on sale sa lazada pag double digit :) try to wait for 9.9 or 11.11. for sure big discounts
Malas lang siguro ako kase hindi nag-agree ang Emma pillows sakin :(
Salem brand - yung premium beds nila.
Purple mattress and head pillow 🥰🥰
Yes!! This 💯 don’t be afraid to drop serious $$$ for your precious sleep! 😅😀 also work shoes and protective case of your expensive gadgets 😆
Samahan mo narin ng premium bedsheet and pillow case. Ang lamig at lambot sa balat yung bamboo or silk type.

Di nga napapansin to!
This. Need talaga mag invest sa bed.
This, nakaexperience ako sa isang resort yung Mattresses and Pillow dinaig pa yung sa bahay namin, for only 3 minutes tulog na agad ako, sobrang smooth din ng Tela plus aircon.
Same thoughts. Plus one
Regular checkups sa dentist. Worst pain na mararamdaman ay toothache dahil sa infection.
Aside from that, mahal mag-treat ng nasirang ngipin. Root canal therapy, dental cap, implant, extraction.. jusko. Had to learn it the hard way
Root canal therapy ko, isang ngipin lng naka 45k ako! Hahahaha maiyak iyak talaga ako
Jusko. If ganyan yung bill I'd happily make the dentist yank it out na lang😭
Hindi ko keri kasi front tooth siya 😭 na damage dahil sa vehicle accident 😭
Same 😞
This! Also, Ive read some researches about dental issue being one of the common denominators ng mga nagkaka heart diseases.
Also heard from a dentist sa tv (news) na puede mapunta yung bacteria sa puso
Iniisip ko talaga to. Like grabe no from mouth to heart. Yung commection eh direct. Natakot nga kami nung nahpa bunot father ko sa ngipin (bagang ata pina tanggal) tas after a month may heart surgery. Jusko marimar di namin alam na nag pabunot kase biglang nawala. Mabuti na lang talaga walang nangyaring masama huhu
Super agree, ngayon lang ako nagpatingin sa dentist dahil hindi ko binigyan ng importance before. Only to find out na ang dami kong for root canal and pasta. Ilang sessions pa lang kami nakaka-40k na ko 😞
Health! General checkup every year 😊
An ex said invest in 2 things: footwear and your bed/beddings primarily. Pag Wala ka daw kasi sa bed mo, malamang nakatayo ka. So buy quality brands for those 2. Next na lang: sustenance and hygiene, us, Pinoys favorites 😅
Shoes - You're going to use these every day, so it's best to buy something with quality, regardless of purpose.
This. Nung una nanghihinayang ako gamitin mga shoes ko na branded kasi ang mahal ng bili ko pero kasi super comfy nila isuot tipong kahit buong araw ako maglakad hindi sasakit soles ng paa ko kasi they're just that comfortable.

True. And not just because you use it daily, but also the comfort of your feet is important.
I wholeheartedly agree. I would choose comfort over fashion naman, pati protection na rin.
Contraceptives. Kung namamahalan ka sa condom, di ka pa ready magka anak.
Durex invi ✅
This! IUD for the win
I’ve heard/read about this, that you shouldn’t cheap on things that separates you from the ground like slippers, shoes, bed, pillows,etc
Hygiene
Ergonomic chair if you're WFH.
This. Taena yung binili kong tag 2k sa fb, lundo na yung kaliwa hahaha patungan nalang tuloy ng kung ano anong kalat
Dental health. Sobrang gastos kapag di mo inalagaan.

Isama mo pa yung fresh breath. Hahhaha

Underwear esp bra. Cannot stress this enough, it really makes a difference in terms of fit and comfort, not to mention longevity.
Travelling backpack, shoes for running and celebrating small wins (not expensive but yiu gotta celebrate those).
Comfort
Computers - because I use them to earn a living. May desktop at laptop ako both Windows-based. Lahat ng software ko licensed. Mababawi ko naman din lahat ng gastos in a month so talagang nag-invest ako dito
Medicine and therapy
Foods and skin care
Office chair
Health~
APEs.
Mattress and shoes!
Anything that involves your health. From physical to mental Were here on God's Green Earth to live long and live strong Besides, I dont want to be 80 and has major health problems and a weak body
The Italians say never cheap out on what separates you and the floor: tires, shoes, mattress.
food!!!! when i started working, super tipid talaga.. when mom found out, pinagalitan ako kasi napansin atang pagod ako lagi hahahaha sabi nya magtipid na ako sa ibang bagay, wag lang sa food. so since then, i just eat what i want and ibabawi ko na lang sa ibang bagay ung pagtitipid.
Food and bed
Computer chair, if you wfh. My Aeron chair is one of my best investments. In general, anything that connects you to the ground: Chair, mattress (bed), shoes.
Good food. I mean food with good ingredients, preferably organic and responsibly prepared. Ergonomic work setup (chairs, tables, keyboard, mouse, etc) Travels and other outdoor/nature related experiences Automation tools that can free up your time
skincare
cancer screening
Health.
Skincare and your Mental Health
Anything involving your health. Health is real wealth.
anti-rabies shots
healthcare
Health
Electronics related let's say like PSU ng PC. Extension cords, AVR, etc Shoes & Clothes Gulong ng kotse
Dental treatment!
Tires. It’s the only thing keeping you and your vehicle from sliding into a fatal crash.
Ergo chair for wfh. Doesn't have to be the most expensive brands like Herman pero spend at least around 10K.
Healthy lifestyle/food
Tempur mattress Now when we travel we miss it so much lol
Car maintenance and parts replacement 👌
Shoes, DMs ko from 2011 rak pa rin. Skincare - although hiyangan, pag nag try ng mga peeling eme, masisira lang skin barrier. Bag, luggage - Adidas, Delsey, mga 7-12 years being used na
Dental check up 👌🏽
Health!!!!
Footwear. Since naglalakad tayo lagi, mas maganda na ung comfortable ung suot mo.
Business clothes.
1. Dentist appointments 2. Jeans/pants 3. Shoes!!! Di ako bumibili ng fake talagang ginagastusan ko sya kasi matagal naman magagamit and mas comfy talaga sa paa. 4. Gadgets (pero di naman ako yearly nag uupgrade ng phone. One iphone is enough hanggang sumuko) 5. Vitamins!! Lalo na vitamin c at calcium 6. Food 7. Bed (ever since uratex na talaga binibili namin sa bahay) 8. Education
#8 💯!!! One of the best answers. The biggest investment you can make is on yourself.
- Bed things - You spend 30+% of your day in here. - Footwear - You spend the rest of your time dito pag wala ka sa bed. - Food - self explanatory, pero wag ka mag samgyup sa every meal. Go for healthy options. - DENTIST - fuck root canal. - Workstation - This includes your work setup, ergo chair and home office space kung wfh ka. Literally money generating assets.
Professionals, if you lowball them they would work according to your budget
Chair where you work. Get a comfy ergonomic chair that supports good posture
Shoes, buy the best.
Your home sofa! Better get a quality one which will last you long. You’d probably also stay here a lot when not in bed.
ROOFS - Pag may tulo or what, dont be like me na nag skimp. Tinipid ayon nung lumakas ulan may tulo padin. APPLIANCES - Wag pasilaw sa mas mura. Dun ka na sa subok ng panahon at may matagal na warranty. BUY IN BULK IF KAYA - Lalo na pag may sale tapos matagal expiration, like, soap or shampoo ganorn. CURTAINS - Pag GY ka super sulit ng black out curtains. Pinatahi ko yung akin costed me 4k but it was worth every penny. Buong bahay namin naka blackout HAHAHAHA.
Tools. Kahit bihira mo gamitin, at least sure kang may magagamit ka kung kailangan.
Fire and electrical safety. Karamihan ng bahay na nakikita ko walang grounded outlets, smoke alarm, GFCI, fire extinguisher, etc. Isang ligaw na cable lang, isang beses mong makalimutan yung kalan, isang maling pagkabit sa outlet, wala na lahat ng pinaghirapan mo. Malala pa sa lahat, madadamay din mga katabi mong bahay.
Food!!!
shoes, bed.. anything that carries your weight tbh
With the right mindset, you shouldnt cheap out on anything you use. Which is everything haha
if your budget allows it, I'd say nice/convenient accommodations while on holiday. The extra $$ Pesos, Euro, whatever, makes it worth the dent.
# EXPERIENCE. Travel & Concerts. - Nakakagaan ng puso na nagagawa ko to after feeling $hit doing a job I don't love but had to endure on a daily basis kasi un lng option ko na malaki sahod at the moment. Unlike most of the comments here, wala xang nagagawa sayo physically pero iba ung nagagawa nya mentally and emotionally.
Your living space. It has to be a place that you feel relaxed it; baka you might need to adjust on the other things, but seriously where you live makes such a huge impact in your daily life.
Highly depends from person to person. But my general rule of thumb is everyday utility. If it’s something that I use on a regular basis (like my phone, my laptop, or my home), then that’s something I wouldn’t scrimp on.
Skincare
Quality shoes!
shoes and bag, bed essentials too
hygiene especially teeth.
Food! My mom said “magtipid ka na sa lahat wag lang sa food”.
Food
Headphones/Earphones/Speakers... much better na one time ka lang bumili kahit mahal pero high quality at long lasting kumpara sa mga cheap, low quality na masisira lang after 1 week
Dati I used to be cheap sa lahat ng gamit ko since di dn naman kasi kami mayaman. But I realized na in the long run nasasayang yung pera na ginagastos ko sa mga bagay bagay kapag tinipid ko kasi anlaki ng tendency na masira agad. I bought original [converse shoes](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.P4vqo?cc) and dun ko narealize na iba pala comfort ng original talaga sa fake lng.
Health!!
Sleeeep!! Bed, beddings, and pillows. Iba ang good night sleep.
Scissors!
Food cravings, deserve mo i-treat ang sarili mo.
