Sanay tayong lahat sa ating paraan ng pamumuhay. Kung may mangyayaring malaking pagbabago, hindi madaling masanay sa bagong kalagayan. Lalo na kung pera ang pag-uusapan.

Kung dati kang mahirap, at nagkaroon ka ng maraming pera, kailangan mong baguhin ang pamumuhay. Magandang pagbabago ito dahil mas marami ka nang pera kaysa dati, pero makakaapekto pa rin ito sa pang-araw-araw na buhay. Halimbawa, baka hindi mo magawang gumastos nang husto kahit may pera ka na. Maganda ito dahil mas malaki na ang maiipon mo kaysa dati. Kailangan mo itong tandaan.

Sa kasamaang palad, ang mga taong nakaranas ng biglang yaman dahil nanalo sa lotto ay hindi sumusunod sa prinsipyong “Kita – Ipon = Gastos.” Kadalasang nauubos agad ang napanalunang pera dahil hindi naman nila iyon pinaghirapan at hindi nila naiintindihan ang halaga niyon.

Mas nakakalungkot kung dati kang may pera ngunit nawala ang lahat ng yaman mo. Tiyak na magiging mas mahirap ang pagbabagong haharapin. Kalimutan na muna ang kaginhawaan at karangyaan ng nakaraan. Kailangan mong harapin ang kasalukuyan at mamuhay nang angkop sa iyong kakayahan.

Kung may mga utang ka na mahirap bayaran gaya ng credit card, kailangan mong harapin ang katotohanan at isipin kung saan kukuha ng perang pambayad. Sa puntong ito, maghanda kang ibenta ang kahit anumang pag-aari mo. Isipin nang mabuti kung ano ang pwede mong ibenta para mabayaran ang utang. Posibleng gustuhin mo na maging optimistiko at maghintay na lang tutal maaayos din ang lahat. Pero sa katunayan, bawat araw na nagdadaan, lumalaki ang utang mo dahil hindi tumitigil ang pagpatong ng interes at mga multa.

Huwag nang mag-atubili at ilista lahat ng mga pag-aari mo. Maghandang ibenta ang mga pag-aari na hindi nagagamit o hindi nagbibigay sa iyo ng kita. Maging pursigido sa pagbenta ng mga pag-aaring ito at gamitin ang cash para bayaran ang utang.

Siyempre, mas mainam kung magagamit mo ang pag-aari para kumita ng pera imbes na ibenta iyon. Halimbawa, kung may kotse ka at may utang ka, pwede mong iparenta ang kotse para bayaran ang utang. Pero kung masyadong malaki ang utang at hindi makakatulong nang husto ang kita mula sa pagpaparenta ng kotse, mas mabuting ibenta na agad ang kotse. Mababawasan na ang utang mo, titigil pa ang deteryorasyon ng kotse.

It may be that readers may be less interested in the analysis of a business. However, I’d like to address those who might want to learn for a business they now have or for their planning of a future business.

Break-even in business means how much you need to sell (i.e., how many units of products you need to sell at a given unit price) so that you will be able to sustain your business. Break-even does not mean you are losing money but it also does not mean that you are making money. If your sales are below your break-even, you will be incurring losses and if it is higher, your will be making money.

For big businesses, there will be finance people who can do all the required analysis. However, for a small business, the owner will have to do the analysis himself and it may not be so easy for those who do not really have experience. I will try to help you to compute break-even. You do not have to think in a complicated way. You can just use the simplest forms possible.

1. You need a “Profit and Loss Statement” or P&L of your Business preferably per month. This means you have to calculate your Sales, the Cost of Sales and Expenses for every month.

2. The “Cost of Sales” or CS is what you spend to make the product that you sell. If you are just trading or in “buy and sell” like sari-sari stores, your CS is the amount that you pay for the products you sell.

3. For your Expenses, you need to separate into Fixed and Variable expenses. The variable expenses are those that are directly related to the product when you make a sale. For those in trading, your variable expenses are your CS and maybe commissions you may pay depending on how much you sell. If you are a service business, you may not even have variable expense.

4. Fixed Costs are expenses you will spend whether you sell anything or not. Examples are rent, utilities, telephone, salaries and benefits. Notice that these are expenses that do not change much when there are small changes in sales. You will spend these amounts whether you sell or not. Of course, if your sales increase very much, you will probably have to add people and spend more fixed costs. But let’s just assume that these are fixed costs for our break-even analysis.

5. The basis for determining your break-even sales is your sales price per unit of your product (e.g. per kg, or per piece or per hour, etc, etc).
