Good day, DiscussPF members!
Before investing or spending your money on other things, it is important to have an emergency fund for unforeseen emergencies that may happen in the future. We need to allocate a portion of our income to this fund to build it slowly. 
How much is your emergency fund? Do you have a fixed amount that you try to maintain?

I moved to my current apartment in 2014 and at the time, rental prices were through the roof(they are crazier now). Where I live a decent apartment with 2 bedrooms, with kitchen and other essentials went for $500 dollars up. Fate was kind to me because, at the time, my previous apartment had to undergo some repairs because there was a gas leak(safety hazard). Long story short, I met my current landlord when I returned a cell phone I had found. While conversing with her I had mentioned that I was looking for an apartment - It turned out that she had a luxurious apartment complex that she normally rented to friends and business associates for an affordable rate. This apartment complex had its own pool and a lot of amenities. I ended up getting one for $400 when similar apartments went for $1500 minimum and I have been living here ever since. I am currently working towards my own house but until then I am perfectly happy here. Have you ever gotten any real estate deals like this?

I'm David
I'm glad to join and be a part of this PF community forum. I hope you all are having a productive and nice time here.
I'm looking forward to learn from your opinions/advice, as well as to share related knowledge about personal finance that I have.

Regards.

My uncle in the US retired at age 65 and got another job. He again retired at age 80 and probably received another retirement pay. He was lucky because in the US, age doesn't matter in working. But here in our country, it is difficult for a retiree to get a job again. That's why those working in the office are preparing for their retirement such as saving money for putting up a business. But for me, I was focusing on the internet to earn money for livelihood. And although my earnings are pretty small and couldn't even handle my livelihood, I can say that I am enjoying my freelancing job since I have full control of my time. But in the near future, I know that I should find a job that pays more.

There's this Investment Site which you could invest and buy stocks in different start up companies and businesses around the globe.  It's called....
 Money Online Investment
.....where

 I've invested in some stocks last January, they don't have a minimum, you could even buy one share the least priced share is about $3.  They are claiming that they're giving out precomputed dividends on a daily basis and I've earned about $20 since January of this year with only $3O investment in 10 shares worth $3 each.  
So I haven't tried withdrawing my earnings although it's available and I would like to ask you guys if you know this site?
Is this site legit or what?

All of us maintain a home, it may be an apartment, condo, room or house and that means we all have to pay household bills, which normally consists of electricity, water, phone and internet, gas, rent, amortizations etc.  
How much do you spend per month on your home bills?

One of the biggest expenses of a family is food.  Family members eat from 3 to 5 meals a day and depending on the number of ones family, it could cost hundreds of dollars a month.
How much do you normally spend in food monthly?

There's a new paying trivia site called "Paydro", it pays in real-time through western union for a minimum Withdrawal of $10 or PHP 500.  It has one game a day and has 11 questions, if you answer all questions correctly, you then win the daily jockpot, which is split to all the winners.  You can download it in Google play and for added lives you can use my referral code.  Paydro Referral Code: @Kakashi2020

Remember that old saying, "Health is wealth", it's when you are healthy that you can pursue more wealth and being in good health requires medical expenses. Some people go to many lengths when it comes to spending money for medical reasons.
How much can you budget for your medical expenses?

Do you think the type of plugins/themes a forum uses makes or breaks a forum? Do you believe if a forum doesn't have a certan plugin for it's niche that it won't be successful?

I think plugins and a good theme certainly helps a forum, but at the end of the day, it's the content a forum offers in terms of posts and discussions available on the forum that can make it a success or not.
