“Ang hirap mag ipon.”
This is what my friend said when I asked him about his retirement plans.

Well, no one is exempt from this. Most of us are having a hard time creating a sustainable plan for our retirement, praying that the money we’ve saved is enough to sustain the lifestyle and goals that we have when retirement day comes.

And even if you are "well prepared" now, you’ll never know what will hit you in the future. It could be anywhere from a sickness to an emergency that would leave you with huge financial loss.

But there are proven ways to help us retire smoothly.

And if you are looking for one of the ways to do just that, we’ve invited Coach Kenneth Lao, the founder of the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) Movement Philippines to teach us how to become financially independent and retire early.

This will be on September 25, 2021, at 10:00 AM.
Now the question is…

Are you ready to finally take over your finances and retire early?
Type “FIRE” in the comment section and see you later!

Sino ba naman ako para pagkatiwalaan ng tao?

I know ako personally I've said this a lot of times sa sarili ko, and evidently even Pao, the CEO of Course Belt did too.

And in this times when the feelings of self doubt and and unworthiness comes, how do we go over the hump of the impostor syndrome?

May isang lalaking naglalakad ng 3 hours papunta at pabalik ng trabaho.
Pagod na pagod siya paguwi, minsan matutulog nalang at di na nakaka kain.
Wala halos oras sa pamilya pero kailangan tiisin dahil saktuhan lang ang sinusuweldo.

Dahil magaling siya at masipag, na promote siya after a few months.
Tumaas ang sweldo niya ng konti, and now meron siyang choices.
Ano ang isusuggest nyo sa kanya?

Mag lakad padin para sundin ang principle na "kapag tumaas ang income, wag itaas ang lifestyle"?

Or gumamit ng portion ng increase niya para makapag bus, makauwi ng mas maaga, mabawasan ang pagod, at magka oras para sa pagkain at pamilya?

May mga bagay na hindi pantay pantay kaya hindi lahat ng finance "rules" ay absolute.

If you're living in comfort then it may be wise na hindi magdagdag ng gastos for luxury, pero kung kagaya ng lalaki sa kwento na 'to, then the increase in spending is more than justifiable.

Kasama sa lifestyle considerations ang QUALITY OF LIFE.

Imagine ulit natin ang lalaki, kung makakauwi siya with less health risk, less time spent, at less pagod, then he'll have more time for things that matter more to him.

Kung titiisin mo ang init, pagod, gutom at kawalan ng oras dahil sinasabi na wag kang gumastos, think again. Then think again a third time, this time for yourself.

'CAUSE WHEN YOU CARE FOR YOURSELF, YOU GIVE YOURSELF THE BEST CHANCE TO CARE FOR WHAT MATTERS TO YOU.

2021 has changed a lot of things. Dati Jupiter ang kasunod ng Mars, ngayon "Pautang" na. 🤣

5 Minute Saturday Story! 📚
Q: What do these people have in common?

--------
--------
A: They're superheroes born in 1983. 💪

Teka, sino yung nasa gitna? 🤣 'Di yan si Stan Lee, at okay, di rin siya pinanganak in the same year as Superman or Thor. Pero check this out:

The man in the middle is Dr. Marius Barnard, hindi siya part ng DC or Marvel Universe but he created a superhero in 1983.

At hindi siya doctor "lang". He's the doctor who performed the first successful open heart transplant surgery. Dun palang superhero mode na!

As time passed, maraming nagamot si Dr. Marius, pero meron siyang napansin na problema:

PEOPLE SURVIVED.

At this point ang tanong, bakit problema yun? E diba kaya nga nagpa-gamot?

Dr. Marius recognized na although able sila to survive sa disease, unable sila to return to work in full capacity. What's worse is hindi sila makapag provide sa families.

Here's what he said in an interview:

"I was used to operating on people and boasting about my great results of patients surviving five or six years... but to me, my patients lived for years but in this time they died financially.

My patients didn’t lose their life, they lost their life savings”.

And that's why in 1983, Dr. Marius set out and sought help from Crusader Life and created a SUPERHERO.

A superhero who has now saved countless lives and families.

I personally know people na naka experience ng super power niya and can't stop talking about it.

Kilala nyo?

Dr. Marius called it Dreaded Disease Insurance, which we now know as:

CRITICAL ILLNESS COVERAGE / HEALTH INSURANCE

One of the best tools in personal finance was actually created by a doctor and not an insurance company. And that's because nakita niya firsthand ang nangyayari sa patients niya.

Kaya din pala tuwing pinpresent ko ito sa 30-40 y/o, sinasabi nila "Nabuhay naman magulang ko na wala niyan eh." Totoo, kasi 1983 lang ito ginawa! 🤣

Pero siyempre just like any tool, you can only get the benefit IF you have it.

You can't claim from a plan you don't own.

Kasi kakaiba itong superhero na 'to.

It will surely save you and the only thing you need to do is to prepare in advance.

This superhero doesn't come dressed in a tight suit and a cape.

But when you need it most, this superhero will come in the form of a check which I will give to you and your family.

And once this superhero comes, you'll realize that the effort you put in to prepare is WORTH IT.

A Collaboration by Matthew of LifeMatters and Coach Ron of Mindful Pockets

Stock Market is on sale! ❌NO. NO. NO. HINDI PO.
📉 The market is DOWN. Never nag sale ang stock market, 'di yan department store.

I posted this on my personal profile pero gusto ko din ito ipost dito to give value to the LifeMatters audience who are thinking about their finances and are considering investing din.

Don't compare the all time high price to the current price with the thought of babalik yan sa dati. No one knows kung babalik yan, 'cause everything is speculative.

I am optimistic about the market, I hope it recovers soon dahil may mga stocks ako at units of investment through insurance. Sana nga bumalik at mag surpass sa all time high but I can never be certain about its movement.

⏱ 1. Check your TIME HORIZON, kaya mo ba to hold until such time na mag recover siya or do you have limited time lang for your gains? Baka di ka na kumakain kaka hintay ng 10 year recovery, 4 months palang gulay ka na.

⚠️ 2. Check your RISK TOLERANCE, along with the possibility na tumaas ang price is the possibility na maubos lang lahat yan because of a bearish market. Lalo na kung wala kang exit strategy at bumili ka dahil "sale".

🍔 3. Check your RISK APPETITE, walang no risk investment. Check the kind of risk na gusto mo pasukin, baka low risk ang preference mo pero yung inooffer sayo puro nasa alpha at opportunity fund.

👀 4. Check the AGENDA. I am a Financial Advisor, and I post hooks and crafted lines to make people become interested sa sasabihin ko. But I always need to check if I am misrepresenting a product or a function to reel in potential customers.

And as a consumer naman, knowing na may ganitong sales approaches, I am training myself to become more cautious of ano ang deeper message behind.

There's nothing wrong with investing, sana nga lahat tayo natututo mag invest and that's why we're here.

But I also need to tell you these warnings kasi we're also here to guide you on how to do it PROPERLY.

Tama na Robin, lagot ka kay Batman.

07/05/2021

I always think I'm one step ahead when I can predict what a person will say, and that the ability to guess kung anong sasabihin nila has helped me navigate sa mga difficult situations.

But after ng mga nangyari these past few weeks, I realized that its more harm than help pala.

As salespeople, we were taught to handle objections by predicting anong magiging objection nila then prepare for it.

And as a host, there were times that predicting kung ano magiging sagot ng guests ko has led to great interview flows.

But because of that approach, as a salesperson, I realized I've been dodging situations wherein baka yung potential client would ask me something na hindi ko alam.

As a host naman, there were times na 'di ko nabigyan ng justice yung magandang sagot ng guest because that would mean na mali prediction ko at 'di ko masusunod ang script.

Pero for me, one of the worst effects was this:

I realized that I have been avoiding personal conversations with my client friends because of my fear that they might think that na dahil I'm transferring to another company, I'm only in it for the money.

But I was wrong. Sobrang mali.

After I (reluctantly) started to contact my friends about the transfer, I was surprised. Not only na walang negative responses, they were even wishing me well and asking me what are the new options na magiging available for them.

Grabe nahiya ako.

In my head, I've put them in the same group as those people complaining about their advisors online. I was predicting objections that weren't even there to begin with.

I almost forgot, most of these people were my friends even before they got me as their advisor. If anyone's going to understand why I decided to transfer, it's them. And hopefully they know that I have their best interest in mind too.

Contrary to what I've always believed in, di pala laging helpful to predict what someone will say, and in my case it was crippling.

My friends proved me wrong and I'm glad that they did.

Salamat sa inyo, here's to more years ahead. 😁

Cheers to all our friends and to the people who believe in us!
