mine is only 1peso..in our country, 1peso is not big to buy a food, and it's really hard to make money here because the price is getting up and e-vat is already added to the prices of the product..the time that i have the money, it's hard because i wanted to buy food but it's not enough to fill my hunger..money is important even a single cent..

Yes I agree with you that money is important even a single cent.In fact the least amount of money that have left in my pocket was only 25 cents.That happened when I had bought something in the department store and I had spent almost everything I brought on that day.lol

Yes, it happens to us sometimes when we go shopping. there are times when we just make sure that there will be enough amount left to cover for our fare home.

I just got paid yesterday and paid the household bills and I think that I have $10 left to run me through the week. I don't know what that equals in pesos. It isn't enough for much here either. A guess any money is better than no money!

When? Today? I have 15 sen left after I went for some chores. 15 sen cannot really get me anything so i would normally bring it back and put it in my saving box and later take the box to the bank. My currency is approximately RM 3.50 = 350 sen = USD 1.00.

I found myself in a very embarrassing position the other day, because I had budgeted my salary literally down to the last few pounds, and it was the day before pay day and I only had about £1.50 in my pocket but I needed to buy my lunch, so I went to one shop and got the sandwich, then went to another and used some loyalty points to pay for the rest of the food. By the end of the day I was left with about 15p , thank goodness I got paid the next day, otherwise i might have been very hungry!

I've got 25 centavos in my pocket! lol. If you find 1 peso not that big to buy a food, how much more 25 centavos is. hehe. Let's see what I can buy? Hmmm.. I couldn't think of any..lol. This is just way to small even for a candy. :)

We have american dollars here and usually the least amount I would have is some change in my purse to buy a pop. Money does go quickly and cost alot for anything nowadays. I make a good paycheck but always gone before you know it.

A single cent when accumulated can become million cents. At least you still have a peso in your pocket. I do not keep any cent in my pocket. MOney, no doubt is important, but it is not everything. Money can be earned, as long as one is willing to work hard for it.

I carry no cash in my wallet. If I did I spend it all on frivolous things. We have ck cards and that's he best way for us. We fortunately have always had enough for food. And if we didn't, our church helped us in the troubled times.

I never completely run out of money but I seldom have cash on me because I use my debit card alot. I try to keep twenty dowllars cash on me at all times because some places don't accept debit cards. I try to keep to a strict budget so that I don't run out of money.

There has been times when I have had no money and it is going to be a week before I get paid again. It is scary when you have children who need to be fed and need clothes and stuff for school. In the USA we have places which will loan you money short term but charge you a large amount of interest but there has been a few times I have needed them. Thank god now the children are grown and I have friends who can spot me a 20 if I need it. Which I have not needed it in a long time.
