making sense of it all

I've learned how to save ever since i was 7 years old when my grandma used to give me and my sister 2 pesos for our daily allowance. I would keep at least half so i could use part of my savings to buy scented stationeries which used to be a craze for young schoolgirls like me. My grandma who was one of my first financial mentors would always tell me and my siblings to set aside even a small amount from our school allowance so we will never ran out of money. I took her words to heart and brought the practice of "saving something for yourself" until this very day.

my sister would always joke about me being obsessed with money. Obsession is quite a strong word so i would correct her and say i'm just passionate about it. You see, at a young age i already knew money is important. Growing up in a not so ideal and safe neighborhood, i have seen what poverty can do to people.

Now that i'm way past my quarter life crisis, everything is starting to make sense at least in the financial aspect. I'm currently working on finding multiple streams of income and investment vehicles to ride on and hopefully lose the training wheels in the process.

This blog does not intend to be a guide since i'm no financial guru. Instead, i would like this to be a venue where i can relate my experiences on my journey to becoming financially free.
