If not, then you should think twice first where to put your hard-earned money especially during pandemic and with different protocols like granular lockdown that movements are limited.

For only Php 4,000 you can say goodbye to your apartment rents and own the most affordable home model unit from Lumina Homes, which is the Aimee Rowhouse. Plus, you would only need Php 75,000 for its downpayment when you choose the pag ibig financing for your housing loan. Wow! If you think about it, it is almost the price of the iPhone 13 Pro Max!

So make sure to invest and allot your hard-earned money on the things that you “need” other than what you “want”. Anyways, it would be easier for you to save up money for an iPhone if you already have a space you can call your own.
