Creating Wealth – Smart Personal Finance Habits for OFW’s

I will be hosting a webinar (for those who are not familiar with this jargon, that’s a seminar being conducted online) featuring my fellow blogger and personal finance advocate, Fitz Villafuerte on February 28, 2013 from 3PM to 4PM, Philippine time.

The webinar is the first online project to be conducted in 2013 by the OFW UsapangPiso forum and Angat Pilipinas Coalition for Financial Literacy to provide timely information to our overseas Filipino workers on how to improve their financial lives. We are truly blessed that we have the internet to aid us in our education and for spreading financial literacy to all Filipinos all over the world.

So if you are an OFW, a member of the OFW UsapangPiso forum, or a dependent of one who’s working overseas, then register now for this FREE webinar on how to improve your finances. Continue reading Creating Wealth – Smart Personal Finance Habits for OFW’s

As usual, when I mention to them that they have to start with at least Php5,000 to open a stock investment portfolio the responses would be, “Wala pa kong pera.” (I still don’t have the money). Or, “Hindi ko alam kung pano gawin yan.” (I don’t know how to do it.)

Well, fret no more superfriends. Instead of saving up Php5,000 to open your first stock investment portfolio, you can at least set aside Php500 in your next payday to start investing in the stock market. Even if you don’t know how to. Continue reading Start Investing in the “Stock Market” with Php500
