Re-assess Your Priorities This Year
This is the best time to re-assess your priorities this year. 2020 is obviously a year of ups and downs. If you are stuck at home and you can’t work because your business or company is temporarily closed down, you will soon face financial challenges once you exhausted your savings. Visit your priority list again and prioritize preserving your savings and income for now. If you have plans to travel in the coming months, try to reassess if it’s needed. You need to prioritize your financial stability over anything else, especially in times like this.
Read Helpful Books
Read books that are helpful to you. There are plenty of free copies on the internet. You can read self-help books that will help you grow and develop a good mindset. Choose books that are related to financial stability if you are into finances. If you plan on investing soon, you might want to spend this time to start reading the materials that will help you become knowledgeable. In times like this, the best thing to do is to invest in your knowledge, which usually comes for free!
If you have enough savings, it’s also a good time to start investing. Since investment accounts can be opened online, you won’t go through any hassle. For stock investments, you can head to the website of your chosen broker, for instance, COL, First Metro Sec, BDO Nomura, and so on. They have different instructions as to how you can open an account online. If you want to start putting your money in mutual funds, ATRAM is a good mutual fund manager. Go to their seedbox website and start investing for as low as P1,000. You surely won’t regret opening an account after the pandemic ends. You have to start making a move.
