Let this serve as a shoutout to one of my Twitter pals SPYlosophy, one financial adviser you can hang on to not to borrow money or run to every time you get in trouble with the bank. That\u2019s not how she helps people. And she offers some of these financial tips on her Twitter account (@SPYlosophy<\/a>). I would like to share some of the insights that I have learned from seeing them on my timeline.<\/p>\n

(There was one time I enjoyed seeing her tweets that I returned the favor by tweeting her animated images of Ryan Gosling with his shirt off. That\u2019s what friends are for. Hahaha)<\/p>\n

Here are some things I learned from her timeline:<\/p>\n

\u201cDont tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I\u2019ll tell you what they are\u201d \u2013 James W Frick<\/h3>\n

That actually made sense especially for women who spend now ask later \u201cWhere did all my money go?\u201d Trust me. I\u2019ve been there and I\u2019m not proud of it. This is why I have high respect for accountants who have successfully applied their anal-retentive approach to keeping receipts even if it involved personal expenses. It\u2019s not just for ITR purposes. It\u2019s more for keeping a paper trail of cash flow.<\/p>\n

The question is not \u201cHow much you make money?\u201d. Important is, \u201cHow do you manage money?\u201d #SPYLosophy<\/a> #Finance<\/a><\/h3>\n

Between a person who wears the big paycheck on her sleeve and a person with a steady source of income diverted into healthy investments, who do you expect to get a better chance of early retirement? As you can see, even early retirement options are available even to those who considered themselves too young for it as long as they have secured a stable future for them and a means to make money work for them instead of purely working for the money. This is why some of her tweets included tips on investing in the Philippine Stock Exchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.\u201d \u2013 Katharine Whitehorn #FamilyFinance<\/a><\/h3>\n

Some children wail in the corner, throw hissy fits and tantrums and bawl their eyes out crying upon being refused an increase in daily allowance. They haven\u2019t realized that keeping a steady, unchanging allowance is better than none at all. And some haven\u2019t realized it yet that an increase in daily allowance doesn\u2019t solve their daily wants. It only aggravates it. More money doesn\u2019t always solve poverty. It only adds up to greed at some point.<\/p>\n

When do I expect an episode of Episode 2 then, you ask. Follow @SPYlosophy<\/a> on Twitter and then let\u2019s see where does this financial advisor take us. If there is any assurance I guarantee you, she\u2019s the bomb. (Lab yu)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
