<p><br/>MANILA -­­- As we welcome a new year, we once again make our annual resolutions to guide us for the next 12 months. But after a few weeks, sometimes even just days, we start to cheat and eventually forget about these promises – until a new year comes along.</p><p>Many of us aim to save money for financial security. Financial experts, however, remind us that we need to start investing for our future NOW.</p><p>The most crucial step in investing is responsible saving. Many, however, are hesitant to compromise their lifestyle. This is common among millennials, who are just starting to enjoy the fruits of their labor.</p><p>Millennials are creative, adventurous, and active. But they also have a reputation for being impulsive spenders. Because they are still young, millennials tend to forget the importance of saving money since retirement seems so far away.</p><p>But did you know that with a few lifestyle tweaks, you can start saving money which you can use to invest on, say, a condominium unit? Megaworld Corporation, for instance, offers properties in the metro for as low as P8,000 per month, with flexible terms that suit your income and needs.</p><p>All you need is to be extra creative and adventurous to save up for that condo. Here are some of the things you can do:</p><div><strong>1. Upcycling</strong></div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation/01/25/sa-advert-upcycling.jpg"/></figure></div><p>Looking for a new desk for your bedroom? Instead of buying from high-­end furniture stores, you can create your own furniture using pre-loved items.</p><p>There are many thrift shops and garage sales in Metro Manila that offer second--hand goods, from home decor to furniture, which you can turn into innovative pieces of art and one-­of-­a-­kind conversation pieces. With a bit of creativity and imagination, you can turn an old cabinet into a hip desk.</p><div><strong>2. Travel off the beaten track</strong></div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation/01/25/sa-advert-travel.jpg"/></figure></div><p>Travelling is one of the top goals of young professionals. However, vacationing in popular tourist spots can be very expensive – not to mention over-­crowded -­- especially during the peak travel season.</p><p>But you don’t have to go to Palawan and Boracay to have a good time. There are many undiscovered pieces of paradise in the country. Why not try the less-­known beaches and islands off Quezon province or Zambales? These are not too far from Manila and won&#x27;t require a hefty budget. You also score major bragging rights for “discovering” these gems.</p><div><strong>3. Alternative workouts</strong></div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation/01/25/sa-advert-workout.jpg"/></figure></div><p>Health is very important for employees who spend most of their time in front of the computer and crunching stressful tasks. A fit body can only be achieved through proper diet and regular exercise.</p><p>But instead of signing up for an exclusive gym and pay thousands of pesos in monthly fees, you can actually do simple workout routines at home or while you are in the office. There are many tutorials on YouTube which you can follow.</p><p>It is also never too late to take up running and join the many joggers at UP Diliman and other wide, green spaces in the metro.<br/>Instead of buying a new car and add to the traffic, why not buy a bicycle and use it for short commutes. It&#x27;s healthier, way cheaper and cool.</p><p>These are some of the fun money-­saving options you can try without compromising your lifestyle to help you commit to that one resolution that would make a big impact on your future.</p><p>San Antonio Residence, the newest Megaworld project, is a 40-storey residential tower to rise along Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, known for its unique mix of galleries, delicatessens and one-of-a-kind retail experiences. Its proximity to top corporate offices and numerous up-and-coming establishments makes it the ideal home for millennial self-starters on the go — bringing all their necessities in one space, and creating a self-sustaining community in the midst of the Makati CBD.</p><div><strong>Visit <a href="http://www.megaworldmakaticbd.com" target="_blank">www.megaworldmakaticbd.com</a> to learn more of these exciting offers.</strong></div>
