										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh, being a grown-up in this crazy world can be such a headache sometimes!&nbsp; After I graduated college, I slowly transitioned into the real world.&nbsp; It was an amazing experience!&nbsp; For the first time in my life, I got to earn my own money!&nbsp; Not only that, I get to decide for myself now: what job I take, what food I eat, what time I go home&hellip; Being TOTALLY independent is amazing!</p>
<p>Slowly, reality bit me inch by inch.&nbsp; Bills arrived monthly and I know if I don&rsquo;t organize my expenses, I would be in a whole lot of trouble.&nbsp; My mom would always say &ldquo;Every little penny counts!&rdquo;&nbsp; &ldquo;You cannot make whole a hundred peso without this 50 cent!&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am very thankful for my mom&rsquo;s wise financial advices.&nbsp; My mom is quite a smart spender!&nbsp; When we go to grocery stores, she would get products that offer extra freebies!&nbsp; She would also use her card instead of cash to pay for groceries because she gets rewards in return.&nbsp; This was years ago and slowly I&rsquo;m becoming like her.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I live alone and I am fully in-charge of my expenses. Like mom, I spend wisely! I also told her about this new card that could do more wonders than what she is using. It&rsquo;s the EastWest EveryDay MasterCard and so far, it has one of the best features I&rsquo;ve ever heard from a credit card! My mom loves spending for clothes, shoes, bags and make-up too. Spending for the things that make her happy in life could make her&nbsp;even happier! I told her to read my blog about EastWest EveryDay MasterCard and you should too!&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you use EastWest EveryDay MasterCard like I do, every little purchase on my non-essential items count!&nbsp; Non-essentials include make-up, clothes, shoes, travel tickets and hotel bookings.&nbsp; If my non-essential spending add up to P10,000, in turn &#8211; I would get a 5% cash rebate on my essential expenses like supermarket, gas and drugstore purchases.</p>
<p>Every month, I get to spend at least P10,000 for my &ldquo;flair&rdquo; lifestyle.&nbsp; My mom would approve of this card&rsquo;s concept because when I need to gas up for up to P5,000 every month, I get to save P250 (5%) right back!&nbsp; P250 can already buy me a 1 hour body massage at my favorite spa place.&nbsp; A treat I well deserve for working hard to earn my money!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My mom hates wasting money and now I know how hard it is to earn a penny.&nbsp; She picks up every little penny she sees in my car and says &ldquo;5 pesos can buy you tissue from the vendo.&rdquo;&nbsp; So every time there is an opportunity for you to save, grab it!&nbsp; You can save up 5% depending on your spending.&nbsp; You can check out my <a href="http://www.flaircandy.com/2012/07/flair-tips-on-managing-your-credit-card/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">other blog post</a> for a sample breakdown on how this thing works.</p>
