Just read it, you might find some answer why Most Filipinoes can't save and why they spend more than they make and they spend their future income for present needs(utang).
It's better to start early as now in building wealth. Building weatlh needs a lot of patience, time, effort, discipline.
Building wealth doesn't finish overnight, it needs time and persistence. Attend Wealth Management seminars if you don't have idea how to start.
Save and invest as early as you can. Stop procrastinating, the starting is always the hardest part. Stop finding and searching for get-rich-quick scheme because it will just ruin your life, waste your time, destroys your reputation and relationship with your families and friends and your money will be in trouble. Make savings and investing as a habit and make sure it will run through your blood.
