Financial Literacy for OFW

SAAN KA UNANG NAG-INVEST?

The pandemic made us realize the importance of savings and investments. Kaya ngayon, balikan natin kung ano ba ang unang investments natin.

REACT to let us know 😉
Comment mo na din what made you invest in the first place.

Rest, not because you are tired but rest because you know God has your back.

Rest, not because everything is alright but rest because your future and your destiny is good.

Rest in the midst of the darkest night because Joy always comes in the morning.

No matter where you are and what you are going through, rest that God’s promises will come to pass over your life that this pandemic and recession did not catch God by surprise. All is well and it shall be well.

Happy weekend everyone.

When we work hard for something, we feel a sense of ownership over it. Whether we’re working for a paycheck, our businesses or raising kids at home, we see the results of our hard work as ours. But the truth is that the earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord. We don’t own anything—not our properties, our cars or our investments. Everything we have is a blessing from God, and what we do with it matters to Him.

Because our money belongs to God, we have a responsibility to manage it well. In the Bible (Matthew 25), Jesus tells the story of a master who gave money to several servants. One servant did a bad job managing what he was given, so God took His money from that servant and gave it to another who had been diligent.

God trusts us to manage what we are given. When we prove ourselves trustworthy with what God has given us, He can trust us with more.

This is something I tell myself often: Wealth and the ability to create wealth comea from the Lord and it is not for our purposes but for His.

"I had my shares of YOLO (You Only Live Once) moments... Pero di na tayo bumabata..."

Ganito ka rin ba?

20s: Next time na ako magiinvest. Bata pa naman ako. Hindi ko pa yan kailangan.

30s: Pinaghahandaan ko ang kasal ko. Mag iipon na ako next time promise.

40s: Ay naku high school na mga anak ko.

50s: Laki ng gastos sa college ng mga bata. Di ko kaya maginvest ngayon.

60s: Retired na ako, wala na akong income. Kung nakapag-save at nakapag-invest lang sana ako noon.

A year from now you will wish you had started today. 😊.
