It's all about the money, money money! Advices from the money experts, Salve Duplito and Pioneer Insurance

I was invited for a tea buffet last September 26 at the New World Hotel Lounge in Makati and met Salve Duplito, resident financial adviser on ANC’s daily show On the Money and a financial education advocate. Me and my co-bloggers, had an afternoon of chit chatting on how to save and invest on our hard earned-money. We tackled about the most common challenge we face in trying to save money is the tendency to spend and spend. We also talked about that as salary becomes bigger, the more expenses we have.

True, but many people tend to spend more than they earn, So don’t be discouraged if your salary isn’t as big as you desire it to be, You can still maximize your salary and that is through plain and simple living.

Saving money seems boring in a society where everybody is constantly flooded with new products and gadgets that may satisfy wants but not necessarily needs. But in reality it takes more energy to shop and spend than it does to budget and save money.

“We, Filipinos tend to be very shy when it comes to money. It’s a no no to talk about these things with family and or with friends and we hardly ever seek professional help, because it is not part of our culture. We need the knowledge so we can take care of our own financial future. She said that she is trying to engage to the public so that they can make better financial decision.” says Salve Duplito on their ANC’s TVC.

You’ll get to know more about money matters on Saturday, October 11, 2014, Salve Duplito, 9 am- 12nn, at The Ascott Makati, Glorietta and she will share insights that will equip workshop participants with a springboard towards wise management of their personal finances.

Salve’s story reveals her passion towards her advocacy – having grown up poor, this UP Diliman scholar learned how to manage her money the hard way. Her epiphany about money happened when she and her husband lost the investment they made in an education plan. She thought, “If only people knew they can save and invest on their own, they won’t buy products like these anymore.” This turning point was the start of a new career for her. “This is why financial education has become an advocacy for me, because I was also a victim.” It’s an advocacy shared by Pioneer Life Inc., the company that has made the Get More Out of Money, Get More Out of Life workshop possible.

In this workshop, Salve will first guide participants towards an awareness of how their values, and what they value, are interconnected with their behavior towards money. The activities that follow share skills necessary in the framing of an individual financial game plan. At the end of the workshop, financial coaches will be on stand by for one-on-one sessions with participants.

Want to get more out of money, and more out of life? Then spend just 4 hours with Salve. The minutes will tick by fast, but what you’ll learn may just alter the face of your personal financial landscape forever.
