my first million part 1

I came from a well to do family. My parents were rich.

I WAS NOT!

I had to work for my money. It was a SY FAMILY RULE. Once you graduate - you are on your own financially. If you want to eat out, work for it. You want new clothes - earn it. You want a car - withdraw from your bank account.

I HATED IT!

But it pushed me to work. I became a working student. I work after school. We were in the fashion industry. I was selling garments in downtown Manila.

I WAS EARNING!

I made my first P100,000 when I was in 2nd year college. My friends have P1000 in the bank. I had 100x more.

I WAS GETTING RICHER

When I graduated I had MONEY. I worked hard for it. I love the thought that I can buy things I wanted. I got obsessed with money.

MONEY TOOK A HOLD OF ME

A friend approached me one day and told me I could earn big if I invest in his business. He promised a 2% monthly interest. That was big!!! That was extra income for me. I invested. I was living the life and I was earning.

GREED

For 1 1/2 years I was getting more money than my heart can take. GREED became my bestfriend. I was lazy but I was earning till....

I LOST IT ALL

One day i received a call. I was informed that I lost my investments. After 2 years of putting all my money in my friend's business - it disappeared. GONE! NADA! ZILCH!

I invested in a scam. A BIG MISTAKE! My money gone!

THEN I BECAME RICHER

A costly mistake made me richer. It started my journey to financial literacy and spiritual finance.

This is the CLUELESS MONEY MAN'S VISION


"To equipped people to be
financially literate and biblically sound in managing the finances God has entrusted them."
