What exactly is Cheapstick?
But before I answer that, let me tell you about myself first.
I am a twenty something sixteen-year old at heart, born and raised in a middle class family who developed a thing for luxury and living a life full of sophistication. I love to travel and I make it a point to go out of town every month, I love shoes, bags and clothes. And my closet is brimming with signature and unbranded stuff. I usually go for pieces which stand out. I don't want to bump into someone in the street wearing the same shirt as mine (it happened to me already and believe me.. you'd rather die than go through that horror). I love to go for night outs, movie marathon and food trips. I want to go to Bora, Switzerland, Maldives... I wanna be all over the world. I want to read bestsellers; Coelho, Murakami, Sparks, etc. I want to eat Haagen Dazs and crepe everyday. I wanna try everything for once in my life.
Unfortunately, I am just an average employee with a meager income acceptable for an average Filipino but not for someone as extravagant as me.
Cheapstick is exactly about that - the struggle of a pauper with a flair for all things classy and posh, the misadventures afforded with her monthly income subjected to SSS, Philhealth and taxes, the quest for bargains and great finds. It's a one stop guide to living a sophisticated life - on a budget!
