Instead of thinking about your debts, why not focus on earning money so you can pay off your debts. Kahit isipin mo ang utang mo buong araw, hindi mababawasan yun.

We don’t have control over the global economy nor the national economy. However, we do have control over our personal economy. (13:40)
You can use your time worrying about the next recession or being afraid of the falling stock market prices. Or running away from your debt collectors. Or you can use your time and focus your energy in helping your family learn smart money habits, or you can track and minimize your personal expenses, or to diversify your investments, or creating multiple sources of income. It is your choice. (14:25)
