Kung dili ka ganahan sa imong trabaho pero kinahanglan nimog income, you can either resign properly and find a different source of income or start a side hustle. Dili angay na magsige kag reklamo pero wa kay ginabuhat to address that issue. Di na sala sa kalibutan, sala na nimo.

#5 - Good for beginners. Stock picking is not for everyone. Even I am not an expert in this. That’s why I heavily invest in FMETF which mimics the performance of the top 30 Philippine companies and VOO which mimics the performance of the top 500 US companies.

Picking individual stocks is a challenging task for most people. That’s also why a lot of people hesitate to start investing in the stock market. They believe it’s complicated. Tell you what. There is a simple alternative solution. It’s called index funds. Here’s why it’s good.

#4 - Cost averaging strategy. You can allocate a certain amount per month to invest in an index fund. As you gradually invest, the law of compounding works in your favor.

Cryptocurrency has been popular nowadays especially when the prices keep reaching new levels. While that is true, I think we should also diversify a portion of our portfolio to stocks and other investments.

When I was an employee, I’ve always wanted to have my own business. It took me a total of 6 years and 7 months before I went full time in our businesses. I know that I still have a long way to go but I am happy of where I am and enjoyed the journey of getting here.

Here’s one of the perks of running an online business. You can work anywhere as long as you have good internet and a computer. Traditional businesses didn’t have this privilege. But thanks to technology, it is now possible to do so.

If you can’t afford investing in real estate, consider getting into REITs. You would need to open a stock brokerage account then fund it. Search for AREIT and/or DDMPR afterwards. For US REIT, you can search for VNQ ETF.

Take a break. I emphasize about maximizing your unproductive hours to do things that can help you generate more income. But if you keep working without taking a break, you will feel burn out. Tao ra man ta. Kinahanglan pud ta mupahulay usahay then work napud.

When it comes to investing, you have to determine your style. Are you a conservative investor? Are you an aggreesive investor? Or are you a moderate investor? There is a certain type of investment that matches your style.

Here’s a thought. Instead of cutting your expenses, why don’t you find ways to make more money? It’s faster to get what you want that way. Not to say that you should spend recklessly. I’m just saying that this is an alternative solution to the same problem. Think about it.

If you want to start investing in the Philippine stock market but don’t know how, here’s what you can do...

1. Open a PH stock brokerage account
2. Fund your account
3. Search FMETF

FMETF mimics the performance of the PSEi which is the top 30 Philippine companies.

Power just makes a person more of himself. - Lemar Hoskins, #TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier

Your true colors will illuminate more when you become more powerful. It may be in a form of money, authority, or status. It doesn’t change you. It makes you more of who you already are.

My unrealized profit in eToro dropped 21% due to the dip in the crypto market. I personally find it okay since I’m in it for the long term. I didn’t buy these cryptos because I wanted to make a quick buck. I bought it because I believe that it will disrupt the finance industry.

The content creators on Tiktok are so creative. It made me want to change our style of producing content. Same message but delivered in a different way.
