  • Php15K salary and trade or Php100K abroad?

    Php15K salary and trade or Php100K abroad?

    Someone asked me via this page if he’d stay in the Philippines with his gross salary of Php15K/monthly and try trading or work abroad with a net salary of just a little less than Php100K.  I told him to pursue a new life overseas and trading can always wait.  He said he could relate with

  • Money made me realise how simple my heart truly desires

    Money made me realise how simple my heart truly desires

    When I was poor, I told myself I wanted to buy more clothes so I could change clothes anytime I want. Now that I can say I have uplifted my lifestyle, I find myself repeating clothes; my household daywear are old, faded clothes with holes. Despite having those little holes, these clothes make me feel

  • This is the beauty of silent wealth.

    This is the beauty of silent wealth.

    This is the beauty of silent wealth:  I don’t have LV, Gucci or Michael Kors. But I have Apple products which I use for trading, for travel and for entertainment. I prefer functionality over fame.  I don’t own a yacht, private jet or Forbes mansion. But I own 40+ properties which are self-owned, not out

    I love listening to “real rich” people

    I love listening to “real rich” people.  If this post will trigger comparison, jealousy, self-doubts, doubts, insecurities – feel free to skip.  Reason is because I can “stomach” all these. Why? Because I ATTRACT wealth. I really love it.  I don’t have any self-limiting beliefs about myself and how I view others.  I acknowledge that

  • Here are my realisations why privacy matters to me

    Here are my realisations why privacy matters to me

    Here are my realizations why privacy matters to me:  1) Kapag yumayaman ka na, the more private you become for your safety and sanity.  Sa totoo lang, kung yumayaman ka na, you wouldn’t want to flaunt what you have in socmed and be a target of bad people who can do bad things not just

    “If you’re earning six-digits na sa Pinas, will you still migrate?”

    “If you’re earning six-digits na sa Pinas, will you still migrate?” I bumped into this random post in a Facebook Group and somehow I’d like to talk about it.  Did you know that for only €250,000 or Php15M, you can move to Greece under its Golden Visa Program or Residency by Investment Program? You can

  • Paano mo nalaman nung bata ka pa na mahirap lang kayo?

    Paano mo nalaman nung bata ka pa na mahirap lang kayo?

    “Paano mo nalaman nung bata ka na mahirap lang kayo?” Gaas ang gamit namin nun maliban sa kandila kapag napuputulan kami ng Meralco.  Nangunguha si Papa nuon ng mga kahoy pangsiga pangluto. Nasa Manila kami, wala sa probinsya.  Kapag nakaipon ng bote bote, binebenta namin ‘yun sa nagddyaryo bote. Araw-araw nakakabili naman si Papa ng

  • Your first million will be the sweetest.

    Your first million will be the sweetest.

    Your first million will be the sweetest. It will remind you of your hard work, of the things you sacrificed for.  Your first property will be memorable. You’d be excited to fill your home with new appliances, new sofa, new beddings and pillows.  Your first paycheck? It felt good when my first paycheck went to

  • Baka successful ka na

    Baka successful ka na

    Baka successful ka na pero ’di mo pa lang alam. Baka you are stuck in a mindset that you have to prove over and over, pero ang totoo, hindi mo na kailangan i-prove kahit ano. Maybe you are already successful, pero pakiramdam mo laging kulang ka.  Maybe you are the one dimming your own light.

  • Hindi lahat gusto yumaman.

    Hindi lahat gusto yumaman.

    Hindi lahat gusto yumaman. At kahit hindi ka mayaman according to this world’s definition of rich, truth is mayaman ka na.  I bumped into a post that jokingly motivates readers to get up because we’re not yet rich.  While its purpose is just for fun, I had second thoughts about it. Imagine the world if
