I was studying the traffic data of my blog the other day and one particular search phrase caught my attention. Apparently, a visitor was able to find my website by asking Google, “Do you need to be a genius to be rich?”
That question got me thinking which eventually prompted me to start my own search [...]

According to Albert Einstein, the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest. How can a great man of science speak so highly of a mathematical and economic concept? Surely, there must be a reason behind this claim and I’ll try my best to explain it here.
Right from the very beginning of our lives, [...]

Yesterday, I was greeted by a text message from a friend saying that he was terminated from work. It came to me as a shock because he has been working in that office for almost 6 years now and I believe that he has done a remarkable job there. He was no ordinary rank and [...]

Wikipedia defines money as any token or object that functions as a medium of exchange that is socially and legally accepted in payment for goods and services and in settlement of debts.
If you think about it, money is simply defined as a tool that we use to acquire the things that we need or want. [...]

Filipinos have very close family ties and as a child, I was raised to honor this tradition. And since this is a big part of our cultural upbringing, it is often considered inappropriate to decline giving financial support to family members and relatives. I was able to talk to one of my friends regarding this [...]

One of the reasons why I love going to the beach is because it’s one of the best places to spin a fire poi. Ever since I got acquainted with this hobby, a visit to Laiya, Puerto Galera or Boracay is never complete without a night session among my friends.
What is a poi? It means [...]

What is time? Does it really exist in nature or is it just an invention of man? I remember my Physics professor telling our class that time can be considered as the fourth dimension. I sometimes think about these questions when I’m ruminating in my room and waiting for sleep to come. But recently, I’ve [...]

How many times have you caught yourself daydreaming at work? You know that you have a lot of things to do but because of lack of motivation, you choose to stop and ponder why you’re stuck inside that cubicle and wishing that you were somewhere else. Don’t you hate these moments when you bump into [...]

I was sick a few weeks ago so I decided to slow down my lifestyle for the rest of the month. I turned down invitations to go out of town for the Holy Week from friends and planned to just enjoy the almost empty city by driving around and hanging out in whatever establishment is [...]

I was walking out the university building, wondering where to go next, when suddenly a deep voice from behind me called out my name. I turned and saw that it was Bill Cosby. I smiled back and waited for him so we could walk together.
“How’s your day so far, Fitz?” the legendary comedian asked.
“I’m doing [...]

There is no real connection between what we want and what we get in life. Look around you and notice how many people want things. If I start a poll here in my blog asking who wants to be wealthy, I’m sure I’d get a pretty unanimous response. Unfortunately, not everyone will become millionaires.
There is, [...]

You’ve been doing a lot of changes to improve your financial health. You’re proud of your accomplishments and your friends could tell that you’re doing well. Then one day, a friend confides that he’s been having money problems and hopes that you could help him by lending him some cash. What do you do? Do [...]

Procrastination simply refers to the habit of putting off doing something for a later time. Filipinos are more familiar to the term mañana habit, which is often translated to Tagalog as “mamaya na” (much later). Aside from the definition, it is also necessary to learn why we often choose to procrastinate. Is it simply because [...]

What is the first thing that you need to have before starting a business?
Is it the money to invest? Or is it a profitable business idea? A great product perhaps?
The short answer is NO.
If it is not the capital nor a sound business plan nor a useful invention, then what is it that you need [...]

A few days after that life-changing conversation with my friend. I realized that If I wanted to leave the corporate world, not only must I learn how to acquire and create income-generating assets; but more importantly, I have to first enable myself to find alternative sources of cashflow so that I could support my living [...]
