“Hindi sa laki ng kita, pero sa naiipon, napaparami, at kung gaano karaming henerasyon mo ito maipapamana.”
– Robert Kiyosaki
Ano ang gagawin mo kapag may nagbigay sa iyo ngayon ng higit pa sa P1 MILLION?
Tandaan mo muna ang sagot mo dahil babalikan natin ito mamaya. Sa ngayon, pag-usapan muna natin ang pag-iipon!
Gastos vs Kinikita
Marami sa atin ang gustong makapag-ipon… pero PALAGI na lang may kailangang bilhin, bills na kailangan bayaran, emergency na kailangang bayaran, at iba pang mga bagay na “kailangan” paggastusan. Kung tumaas lang kita natin, makakaipon tayo diba?
Sayang nga lang na kapag tumaas nga kinikita natin dahil sa mga promotions, pay increase, at bonus, mas MARAMI pa rin ang “kailangan” nating bilhin kaya nauubos pa rin ang ating pera.
Kapag tumataas ang Kita, dumadami lang ang GASTOS, hindi ang IPON. Para lang itong pagbuhos ng mas-maraming tubig sa bayong.

“It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.”
– Robert Kiyosaki
What would you do if, right this moment, somebody gives you over P1 MILLION?
Remember your answer as we’ll return to this later. For now, let’s talk about savings and budget!
Expenses vs Income
Most of us want to save money… but there are ALWAYS groceries to buy, bills to pay, emergency expenses, and things we “need” to buy. If we only earned more money, we can save more, right?
Unfortunately, when we DO earn more through promotions, pay raises, and bonuses, there are MORE things we “need” to buy so we spend all our money.
Getting more money only makes us SPEND more, not SAVE more. It’s like pouring more water in a weave basket.

Mag-ingat: Investment Advisor Scams
ENGLISH Version (Click Here)
Isang biyernes ng hapon, ipinakita sa akin ng kaibigan ko ang isang investment strategy video.
Sa simula, akala ko ito’y tungkol sa “money cost averaging,” isang epektibong technique na nagpapababa ng risk gamit ang pag-invest ng naka-set na amount ng pera ng paunti-unti. Hindi pala tungkol doon ang video na nakita ko. Gaya ng pagkaganda ng fast-food hamburger sa mga TV commercial kaysa sa totoong produkto, ang investment “system” nila ay nagpapakita ng napakagandang past performance returns (mga 20-30% ang kita). Posible nga ang ganoong kita… kung NAPAKASWERTE ka. Ang mga umaasa na PALAGING makakakuha ng ganoong kita ay mabibigo.
Sa kalagitnaan ng video patuloy ipinakita kung paano gumagana ang “system.” Kinilabutan ako noon. Nanlaki ang mata ko at napapigil hininga ako ng ilang sandali. Para akong nanonood ng commercial na nagpapainom ng pesticide bilang “health” drink.

Beware: Investment Advisor Scams
Tagalog Version (Click Here)
One Friday afternoon a friend of mine sent me a video link to an investment strategy.
During the first few minutes I thought it was about money cost averaging, a proven technique for minimizing risk by investing a set amount of money over time, but it wasn’t. It was an advertisement. Like how fast-food hamburgers always look better on TV ads, the investment “system” they featured showed VERY high past performance returns (around 20-30% returns). Those returns are possible… if you’re VERY lucky. Those who expect to ALWAYS get those high returns will be disappointed.
As the video continued to how the system works, my eyes grew wide with shock, and I’m pretty sure I stopped breathing for a few moments. It was like watching an advertisement telling people to drink a bottle of pesticide as a “health” drink.
