The Start of My Stock Market Journey

As I was checking my stock market investment today, I was surprised to see that my money gained 13.27%. Wooow!!! To put it more bluntly, my money earned P4,463! Just wow! You'll never see that in any bank. I've only been investing for few months but I am very please with the outcome. How much more if I've been investing for years?! Right? But how did my stock market journey started? Here is my story behind it:

Few months after I've given birth, I came upon a book by Bo Sanchez that encouraged me to be financially free. There I was jobless and exhausted and when I read the book, it made me hopeful. If Bo Sanchez's maid can invest in stock market, there is no excuse that I cannot do it.

This book is an easy read. I was so inspired and wanted to start investing right away. But I knew I have to have a steady source of income first. Which I don't have the liberty to do so at that time. (I made a promise that I won't work full time until Riley is 4 years old.) So I told myself that when the right time comes that I can work full time, the first thing that I will do is open an account in COLFinancial. That was 2010. 

Fast forward to 2015. I knew I wanted to be a teacher, I did my best during the demo and was lucky enough to be hired as a Secondary public teacher. I was employed June 2nd. September I was able to receive my first ever paycheck! And come October I made that promise into reality. I ask my friends Grace and Roselyn to accompany me at COL Financial's office. Rose has already opened an account there so she was very helpful and super supportive of my decision. I was not kidding when I told her that she is my personal financial adviser! hehe. I really learned a lot from her. I am so blessed to have friends like them so thank you guys! 

COL Financial office is located at:

Unit 2401-B, East Tower,

Philippine Stock Exchange Centre, 

Exchange Rd., Ortigas Center 1605

All smiles :) Thank you Rose and Grace!

And now 9 months after investing in Stock Market, I can say that I really made a good decision! I'm happy with the company that I already have stocks with, I'm happy that my hard earned money is already growing, and I'm happy that it's making me financially secure not just for my future but for my son's future as well. I know it's a looong way before I reap bigger results but I am motivated to continue investing a portion of my salary in stock market. 

I hope I inspire some of you to invest too. It's a risky move but if you do as Bro. Bo advises, the result is astounding. You'll never regret it. But, that's just me saying. It's really up to you. If you do decide on it and you need help, feel free to ask me! I hope I could be of help in any way.

Ciao! :)
