In about 2 weeks, JC and I will be moving to our own place. No more in laws for both of us, and I’m sure that will really help us take this relationship to a whole new level. But our finances are going to a whole new level as well. Even before moving in, there’s a lot of expenses to take care of, such as the deposit and advance, furniture, appliances, linens, kitchenware and such. It helped a lot that my mom gave us the king sized bed, and a few other stuff we’ll need. But this is one time that I suddenly miss working for a company.
When I was employed, I had a lot of benefits I enjoyed which included additional allowances, discount coupons, and even cash advances. The company provided cash advance for those who are suddenly in need of money in cases of emergencies, disasters, or illnesses in the family. This is a big help for employees especially for those who are breadwinners or those who are married and have kids. Needs arise in unexpected times, and we can’t expect to always have a huge savings to back us up,. Which is why it is good to be able to get a cash advance from the company when the situation calls for it. In my experience with my previous employer, I was able to take out a month’s salary in advance, and it was deducted from my salary little by little each month. What makes it really cool is there is no interest. Unlike borrowing from the bank or from someone else, I pay it back in installment and there isn’t any interest added to the amount.
