About Time For Financial Literacy

Written by louiseinthehouse on June 15, 2017

Recent studies show that most Filipinos would want to retire early as age 50, and that majority consider health as a top concern. However, the sad part is– there is rarely enough savings to sustain an early retirement and only a minimum percentage of these people are prepared to pay for medical costs should an emergency occur.

But only a few Filipinos have done what is needed to achieve these goals. Financial planning is perhaps the most important part of this process. It […]
