finally you’ve launched! i will be reading you everyday as im currently trying to figure out how to invest in wealth wisely

hi salve, congrats welcome to the blogosphere :

cheers!

ei ambe! congrats! i just bumped into this section while browsing through inquirer.net. galing! for sure, i’ll be one of your more-than-regular readers.

All I can say is” it’s about time!”

This blog has a noble intent… I have included this blog in my live blogroll.

As what the saying goes, “don’t give em’ fish, but teach em’ to catch fish”

Looking forward to ‘wealthyfying’ knowledge and techniques…Shukran!

Congratulations.

It is about time. After all, money and making money is everybody’’s business.

Mabuhay ka.

Congratulations on your launch! Your blog will help many in learning more about this very important subject of personal finance.
I’m also interested in technical analysis of stocks in the Philippines. Would you happen to know of any sites that provide such services (ie. technical analysis of local stocks)? Is there a data service that provides historical stock price data that I can download?

Thanks.

I’m so proud of my industry mama. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the new blog! This will surely compliment the existing columns of Citigroup/Citibank and the RFP association on personal finance. The formula for getting rich is saving more than one spends. The earn more than what you need, one needs to have enough amount of “human capital” to compete in the workplace. To achieve enough human capital, one needs education. Hopefully, this will be the focus soon of the government budget.

if this is about money to work for you, then we need first money or capital to start with. how much capital and target returns that is acceptable to majority of people.

Congrats, ambe! Have added this site to my favorites. Sana yumaman tayo lahat =)
ps. mali pala yung link na clini-click ko kanina.. hehe

Hi Jayvee, hi Joey, thanks for welcoming me here. I have a confession. Someone will have a hard time getting me off my new addiction to blogging. Journalists are feedback-crazy and the interactivity in blogging tastes like warm Krispy Kreme donuts to me! Thanks again, guys.

ei mark, glad to see you online. what a surprise!

hi wiljoe, you really think so? thanks for the note. lemme know if there is anything specific about personal finance you want to know about and we will see about getting that info. Hope to ’see’ you often!

hi sonny, thanks man! thats really cool.

manny, technistock is the platform a lot of traders use but problem is you can’t download it from the web. We published a series of articles years (sort of technical analysis for dummies). I will try to find the articles for you. I suggest you also attend seminars, but be sure to check whether the speakers are experienced and qualified!

hey Joel! thanks for dropping by!

congrats to the launching of your blog. i have read most, if not all, of your articles and i must say you are indeed touching lives by the helpful financial tips you offer. i can assure you i will definitely monitor your blog. good luck and more power!

When I count everything I and my family own, I can conclude I have more than a million worth of assets. Yet when I live everyday, I don’t live a life of a millionaire. I still have to make hard decisions where and what to spend for my money in the pocket. To feel like a millionaire, we have to constantly search for ways to earn more than we spend in a decent and honest way and by paying good taxes and what are due to folks who work for us. This way, we can expect for more blessings as we can end our day satisfied and with nothing to regret for.

no prob salve, you’re welcome. haha, i like that — blogging is like a box of krispy kreme donuts, you just can’t stop

hi salve, you’re officially a blog addict being a journalist, I do want to understand personal finance and you make it sound, well, as you said a box of Krispy Kreme haha. Congrats!

Hi Ambs! Kudos to you and your blog. You know that money could be like dry sand. If you dont know how to hold it in your hand, they will all just fall out.

I look forward to your bright tips and be rich and generous.

“This is a blog for Pinoys who want to be money-smart, not just rich, and for Pinoys who understand that the best way to focus on that goal is to help each other.”

Hey Ma’am Salve!

Congratulations on the launch of your money blog! I will definitely be watching this space all the time! together let’s be money-smart, not just rich, and may we help each other reach this goal! (When are we going to Boracay? when are we going shopping? haha!) I miss you and hope to see you soon!

big hugs!
michelle =)

seems like a good addition to my minis content.

i’m looking forward to more finance-related stuff so good luck.

Im glad to hear that youre starting a blog about personal finance! i read the personal finance section by citibank in inquirer.net and i find it really enlightening. personal finance and the value of saving is something everyone should now and its sad to think it isnt a fixture in the curriculum taught in school. how frequent do you plan on posting new entries on this blog? we are all looking forward to it!

hey salve. your blog looks good, interesting and very timely!!! we definitely have to be smart in handling money. You’re doing a geat service to those who may be needing sound and practical financial advice. Congratulations and good luck!!!

you wanted me to comment… i’ll wait for a few more articles before giving a comment on them.

as for you… i’m proud of you. i’ll try to read as much as you write.

This blog is indeed very timely.

Will frequent this personal finance blog for the sake of me. Hehe..

I can make use of many of the Pinoy financial mgmt stuff that this blog will definitely be sharing.

More power.

Congrats Salve! This is a topic Pinoys definitely need to know this day and age. I have been actively reading the investing and saving tips written by foreign writers (in Yahoo, CNN and MSN) and I think its about time we hear from Pinoys and learn from them how they were able to find financial independence. I look forward to reading more from your blog!

Your proposed topics are very interesting. I hope they turn out pretty well. Rgards…

Yes! It is about time more filipinos acquire financial literacy. We have the lowest saving rate in the region and the smallest capital market.

Manny : if you are interested about stocks and technical analysis, you may visit financemanila.net and tsupitero.com. Have fun.

Dear Salve,
My first time to read your column and am looking forward to hear more of your tips.
Am actually looking for some financial investment advice for am not contented with the returns of my investments.
Hope you can spare time to assist me or give tips where i can place my investments and make them work for me as Mr. F Colayco claims.
Looking forward to hear from you.
More power to your column.
Efren

hehehe… well, i hope that you can somehow squeeze me into your very busy schedule the next time i’m in manila. pwera sa catching-up and all, i’m really interested in this money matter stuff, especially since i’ve been running my own small biz for some time now and i’m eager to find new perspectives being brought forward. until then, i’ll be eagerly waiting for your next blog.

It is true, there are a lot of millionaires amongst us, since opportunities have been there three years ago.

A majority of investors, who have been buying can cash in on their investments, I am sure their earnings more than doubled.

Another industry that has a lot of young millionaires cashing in is the contact center industry, wherein bright young investors are cashing in on their investments or are hired by bigger companies at CEO rates.

Let’s just hope that the noveau millionaires can help in alleviating poverty.

Cool, Salve. Congrats!
I say there should be at least 2x the number of current millionaires in the country, if government does not confiscate a big amount of the monthly or yearly income of many people, the fixed income earners especially.

congrats ulit!

Wow great picture. It’s always interesting to be reminded of how things were done way before computers became an integral part of our daily lives. And the traders look pretty snazzy too.

Congratulations, Salve! I hope your article breeds a generation of enlightened millionaires. Looking forward to the next posting.

Oops…i didn’t realize my comments could be published…sori classmate ha! U know me naman eh di ba…favorite subject ko ang “time value of money”…hehe

May suggestion pala ako…why don’t you interview Financial Planners from different fields. Maybe one article regarding the advise given by an FP who is a life insurance specialist, then another article by an FP who is a stock broker, then an FP from the bank, an FP from the mutual funds, an FP who is a CPA…etc. Perhaps we could hear what they have to say about specific topics you have for them which could help educate our readers on the subject matter.

hi. i am graduating student and I am really excited about exploring the real world. you know, the world different from my friday-saturday night gimmicks and vanities. (note, I have a budget for that, Im not blowing up my whole allowance!). It’s a good thing that I saw ur blog while I was reading the news at inquirer.net. I always believe in securing one’s financial future, in our world today, if u dont have money, no one else will give you, nor notice you. I look forward in reading your entries!

wow. got here from the inquirer home page. medyo familiar yung article na buying in bulk. pinag-usapan nyo ata yun sa e-group eh.

Congratulations, Be! It’s a nice read…..galing mo……

Your article is very informative. I’m sure many will benefit from it. Our countrymen need guidelines and directions to uplift them in their miseries.Congratulations!

Hi! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on wise handling of money. This is my first time to read your blog. Honestly, it was only recently that i started being conscious of how I handle my finances. Im in my early thirties, a typical working guy, single and broke. I don’t want this to sound soapy, but hell, I desperately need some guidance. You posted an invitation for anyone who would be interested to be your ’student’. I prefer that term. I’m willing to do anything to get out of this financial rut I’m in. At the risk of sounding too hopeful; i dare to say , perhaps you could be the angel I’ve been waiting for that would show me the path to the light. Glad to hear from you.
