| I remember way back around a year ago,
| |
| | that money came from mommy... I was their
|
| about exactly a year ago, I was talking
| |
| | money that I just threw away..I lived my
|
| with my workers that pack envelopes.
| |
| | teenage life without an allowance... I'm
|
| those times, I was making many checks per
| |
| | not saying that I didn't have money or I
|
| bi-month. There were checks that were SO
| |
| | wasn't given money, actually if I wanted
|
| high that was somewhat the peak of my
| |
| | money, my mom would give it to me... If I
|
| business, that we worked every other day
| |
| | wanted to buy some bling bling, I know my
|
| just packing envelopes about 6-7 hours a
| |
| | mom will give it to me... I never had
|
| day.I think I told these to my workers
| |
| | daily allowance during my high school
|
| one day when I was gonna give the
| |
| | days, but rather, I just spend, and when
|
| paychecks.. I think I was giving bonuses
| |
| | I'm low with cash, then I ask for more
|
| that time, I cant really remember..But I
| |
| | money... just that simple, no rules...
|
| explained to them during my speech about
| |
| | But I was WISE with money, I spent way
|
| it..I told them that I see money
| |
| | less than the average high school
|
| differently than most people especially
| |
| | student... I wasn't a heavy spender..I
|
| at that point of my life where my
| |
| | remember that I always go straight to the
|
| business was just unbelieveable. I told
| |
| | sale rack whenever I go shopping... If it
|
| them that for me, money is just an award
| |
| | ain't in the sale rack, although if I
|
| for my hardwork... I made an analogy to
| |
| | wanted something badly, I would never buy
|
| compare it with basketball... Say for
| |
| | it!I often also reject money when my mom
|
| example we because the champions in our
| |
| | offers to give me money when times that I
|
| high school basketball team, we then earn
| |
| | know that I still have enough money
|
| a big shiny gold trophy as a reward...
| |
| | still... But money was always there when
|
| But the trophy is really nothing, what
| |
| | I needed it..I would say all in all, I
|
| really matters is the fame and pride of
| |
| | learned about money habits by EXPERIENCE.
|
| being champions.. it is the hard work and
| |
| | I learned to spend money INDEPENDENTLY.
|
| determination and how we never failed
| |
| | many parents give their children daily
|
| that makes me happy about myself.. Even
| |
| | allowance, that the person is only
|
| if it weren't a gold shiny trophy, rather
| |
| | limited to spend that much, and if the
|
| it was just a crappy medal that looks so
| |
| | person SAVES, then he would be able to
|
| ugly, it doesn't matter, what's important
| |
| | buy the luxuries that they want... That's
|
| and what I will be happy of is that we
| |
| | how most children and teens go about, but
|
| were the champions of the basketball in
| |
| | I was just different from that.When I was
|
| high school. a trophy I can just have it
| |
| | 17 and early 18, I have been having
|
| made at a custom trophy shop. And put on
| |
| | businesses... They were almost just
|
| it "Chris, high school champion", and
| |
| | slightly profitable... Not too much
|
| magic! I am the champion! I can be happy
| |
| | profit, but a little profit.. Maybe I
|
| about it, but deep inside I don't feel
| |
| | would say a good $5 profit per day.. But
|
| successful.For business, money is the
| |
| | with that $5 I was making each day, I
|
| reward of being successful. but in
| |
| | didn't spend money differently.. I was
|
| reality, money is not all my goal and
| |
| | still the same money spender I was... Its
|
| passion... It is not the main thing I'm
| |
| | not like I was able to buy nice clothes
|
| after, but its the fame and pride of
| |
| | then, or something like that.. I didn't
|
| being able to support myself financially,
| |
| | even mind that $5 at all... It wasn't
|
| and the service of business to others,
| |
| | anything to me... What was important to
|
| making it a better economy. it is to
| |
| | me was the experience of doing
|
| prove to myself, my family and friends,
| |
| | business... Knowing the ins and outs of
|
| that I am successful. it is to show my
| |
| | business..During then my late 18s, when I
|
| hard work and how persistent I am..In
| |
| | started to make profits, (3 digit figures
|
| fact, even at first when I started
| |
| | profits a day), then I slowly became
|
| business when I was about in my early
| |
| | loose with my spending.. I have been
|
| 17s, I never started that business coz I
| |
| | treating my friends out for some shakes
|
| needed money... Or because I wanted to
| |
| | and drinks... Treating people out for
|
| buy something.. Or I wanted to put new
| |
| | lunch, etc. I did it very slowly...The
|
| stuff in my car... NO! I just enjoyed
| |
| | Christmas of 2004, when I was in my late
|
| business and wanted to try it
| |
| | 18s still, I felt that I was making so
|
| out..Business was more like a HOBBY to
| |
| | much profits that I wanted to give back
|
| me... Until now, it is still something I
| |
| | to others the blessings I received.. It
|
| enjoy doing.. people that love basketball
| |
| | was Christmas, and I made a gift to more
|
| love to play basketball -- they look
| |
| | than 20 people.. I wrote them each a
|
| forward to play everyday and enjoy it...
| |
| | check of $100 each as Christmas gifts...
|
| I love business, so I love to work and do
| |
| | I wanted to prove to myself as a
|
| business -- Its something I look forward
| |
| | non-greedy person, and show to others
|
| also doing everyday!Until now, even my
| |
| | that I am not selfish... These people
|
| real estate investment, even although
| |
| | include my close friends, relatives,
|
| there are problems and I am spending more
| |
| | employees, and even the mailmen that I
|
| than how much I expected to earn, also
| |
| | see every other day.I wouldn't give them
|
| including the problems I had with my
| |
| | all, but many times that I donated to
|
| contractor that I had to switch
| |
| | non-profits, to foundations... I don't
|
| contractors, I was a big pain in the ass
| |
| | think I even remember half of them..I
|
| for me... Even marketing and dealing with
| |
| | remember the day when I bought my car,
|
| unhappy tenants that I have been
| |
| | the Evo, that was Feb of 2005. one of my
|
| promising their move in date to be last
| |
| | close friend's mom was in financial
|
| June 1, then June 12, then now July 1, I
| |
| | problems.. She was low on cash, and had
|
| have been embarrassed of myself.. but all
| |
| | bills to pay... As being a person that is
|
| of these challenges I ENJOY! they make me
| |
| | successful and just bought a car, I
|
| a better person... I love challenges, and
| |
| | personally went to her house and offered
|
| overcoming them is an obstacle... Its
| |
| | her a check to help her with her
|
| like playing a game, to beat the enemy..
| |
| | finances... I wont say the exact amount,
|
| The enemy which is the problem or the
| |
| | but its around $500.That week also when I
|
| challenge..With money, during my earlier
| |
| | bought the Evo, I had it blessed by our
|
| years, before I was successful at the age
| |
| | parish priest, then after blessing the
|
| of my late 18s, I knew how to spend
| |
| | car, I told our priest, that I have been
|
| money.. Spend it very wisely.. Well yes,
| |
| | so successful lately with business, that
|
| my mom isn't selfish with money, that
| |
| | I was able to buy my own car myself. but
|
| whatever I want, she will give me.. When
| |
| | I also thank God for the blessings, and
|
| we bought a car when we first went to the
| |
| | if I am able to buy my own car, I should
|
| US, I wanted just a normal used corolla,
| |
| | also be able to donate to the church. I
|
| maybe something we can buy for $5,000 and
| |
| | gave him a check for the church... Amount
|
| get us to places... I wanted to start
| |
| | is around the same amount as above..I
|
| with that car, and to spend money on more
| |
| | feel so nice of myself, that I can also
|
| important things... my mom said no, lets
| |
| | share Gods blessings to others.Most
|
| get a better car than that... I still
| |
| | recent one was just yesterday. my friend
|
| insisted on just getting a cheap reliable
| |
| | Melissa from Gawad Kalinga, to keep it
|
| car... Well we ended up deciding to get a
| |
| | short, I made a donation for the tuition
|
| brand new car that will last, at the
| |
| | fee of teenagers that cannot afford their
|
| decision of my mom..Well I said that lets
| |
| | college tuition, since school is starting
|
| just go for a brand new civic... Its one
| |
| | about now.. there were about 15 teenagers
|
| of the most reliable cars, and one of the
| |
| | that we sponsored, I gave about 1/3 of
|
| best buys at the lowest price... Its very
| |
| | the total sponsorship needed. I wont say
|
| practical.. I suggested that... well when
| |
| | the exact amount.I have been independent
|
| we were at the Honda shop, my uncle was
| |
| | with my spending... I focus more on what
|
| insisting that I just get a Mercedes
| |
| | I earn rather on how much I save... If I
|
| Benz, and my mom was also agreeing with
| |
| | needed more money, then I would work more
|
| him.. A Benz would just be around $5,000
| |
| | and thus earn more... most people SAVE
|
| more than the civic.. my mom kept on
| |
| | MONEY to have more money... I EARN more
|
| asking me if I should just get the civic,
| |
| | money if I need more..Just a while ago my
|
| or maybe I wanted a Benz instead? I said,
| |
| | mom was offering me money because she
|
| lets just stay with the civic... Although
| |
| | wanted to pay for my tuition fee (I am
|
| if I wanted the Benz, we could of got
| |
| | taking a class at Ateneo). Tuition is
|
| that instead...That's how I look on money
| |
| | 23,000 pesos, she said she wants to pay
|
| before...There were times that my friends
| |
| | for it instead of me, but I rejected it
|
| go to Starbucks, and I don't even buy
| |
| | and I just paid it myself... I know I
|
| anything, but I REALLY was craving for
| |
| | have money, and I could afford it.. Even
|
| some iced frap... But I stopped
| |
| | the seminars that I attend... But I very
|
| myself...I was a very wise person with
| |
| | very VERY appreciate her offer to me,
|
| money before. I really didn't spend too
| |
| | that education is something that she
|
| much... All I spent was on was just cheap
| |
| | wants to offer to me from her end... It
|
| fast food and gas... Maybe $100 should
| |
| | was touching on what she did.Chris
|
| last me about 3 weeks (not including
| |
| | Angeles is a young entrepreneur, very
|
| gas)... I obviously didn't have a job
| |
| | young one at the age of 20. He learns
|
| that time..I was planning of taking out
| |
| | more from experiences in the business
|
| some friends of mine to a date before,
| |
| | world and making mistakes rather than
|
| but I have been holding back, to the fact
| |
| | from learning everything from school and
|
| that I don't want to pay for their food..
| |
| | entering the corporate world. Well he has
|
| As I know that the money ill be spending
| |
| | been doing real estate lately,
|
| will be coming from mommy.. I was
| |
| | specifically investing in an apartment
|
| actually even thinking of asking my
| |
| | building. He DOES beleive in education,
|
| friend if we can have separate bills if I
| |
| | and attends several seminars,
|
| were to take her out..Small gambling, as
| |
| | entrepreneurial groups, meetings,
|
| some of my friends do (just small
| |
| | cashflow events, etc., and he reads a lot
|
| stakes), I have been always avoiding... I
| |
| | of books in personal development and
|
| rarely gambled, and each time I lose, I
| |
| | entrepreneurship.
|
| felt VERY BAD deep inside, because I know
