Always remember to pay yourself first. As Warren Buffett puts it, “Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.” Saving is painful but here’s a trick I’ve been using through BPI Online – how to automate savings.
How to Setup BPI Automatic Savings Through Scheduled Transfers

2. Hover to Funds Transfer, then hover again to Scheduled Fund Transfer
3. Click Schedule Fund Transfer
4. Fill up the form completely
