And through your blog Maria, I learn to blog about whichever work or not in terms of financial goal for our kababayan especially here in Canada. I'm proud to be a kuripot although frown upon by others and somewhat hated by insurance brokers or sales associate. Brag to be a kuripot because I'll only invest into something that doesn't depreciate, although that's inevitable with stocks etc. so choose wisely.PwedePadala.comhttp://pwedepadala.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-56903923966722273902014-10-26T06:03:33.342-07:002014-10-26T06:03:33.342-07:00Hey Christina,
Just so you know, the "millio...Hey Christina,<br /><br />Just so you know, the "million" I mentioned is not how much I gained sa stocks, ha? It's what I have been investing in total. <br /><br />So, you want to invest in the stock market? How old are you? I assumed you are still young coz you are still in college. Are you still living with your parents? If you are, then good. You don't have much of an expenses.<br /><br />Before investing, do you have an emergency fund set up? Emergency fund should cover 3-6 months of your monthly expenses. If you are still living with your parents, you don't have much to save up for emergency fund. Just for the what ifs, like if your laptop gets broken, etc ( what emergency comes up).<br /><br />Before investing, what is your goal? Is it to buy a house in the future? Retirement? Identify WHEN you need it. The longer the horizon, the riskier you should put your funds in (equities, stocks)<br /><br />Personally, I'd say put your money in a Mutual Fund first then study about individual stocks on the side. I did Mutual Fund investing as my very first paper investment just to test the water before jumping into individual stocks.<br /><br />Hope this helps. Good luck :)Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-33037080070870319582014-10-26T05:41:09.272-07:002014-10-26T05:41:09.272-07:00Hi PinasforGood:D

Before, I don't write my dreams. Now, I list them down, not in a paper but in my PC. I read a book by Bo Sanchez before (I don't remember the title) where he says we should list down our dreams so we could be more motivated to achieve them. We should read and reread it pa nga daw. It's also true that pag may gusto ka talaga makamit and pursigido ka, makakamit mo yun. And yes, reading personal finance blogs or any inspiring blog, for that matter, help a lot. :)edelweizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580202879787530312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-40227674850028387052014-10-06T19:34:23.812-07:002014-10-06T19:34:23.812-07:00Totally agree with this!
