I actually consider myself an advocate for financial literacy. So from time to time I do formal & casuals to people that I know like friends, workmates and mere acquaintances. I do this for free of course since it's part of my advocacy. The basics that I teach people starts from the importance of savings and how they can achieve it. following investments & retirement funds. I am not in any way part of an insurance company but I just know the basics which I share to people though my bf is so if there's someone who's interested then I refer them to him. His approach is a different kind because he makes sure to explain every single detail during meetings and tries to meet them once in a while for updates after a closed deal. So far a lot of my friends have been enlightened especially people in the office. Not only do I discuss finances I also teach them about proper or good nutrition or can also be called cellular nutrition. With this they are able to gain general knowledge from health to wealth. Makes sense right? You can't reach the top if you're too sickly so in as much as I could I cover everything for them then we will all succeed.

I think people around you needs you. you know what I mean, having a friend or a person with them who do advice is such a good thing. they are so lucky to have you. maybe they are thanking you in a million ways for helping them. a word of advice from a person with experience is really amazing.

I am a fan of everything related to personal finances. Investing and saving is extremely important regardless of a person's income. And about health well you can put it this way: good health protects your wealth and your wealth can help you when your sick. Nothing like being flat out broke and having trouble paying for medicine.

Your ending statements are like a good summary of my topic. 
That's what I am actually worrying right now because both my parents no longer work and has less income from social security pensions and few door apartments they rent out. They are in good shape but it would have been better if they have insurances to cover emergency situations which are very inevitable these days.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Glad to hear that u have been so sweet in advising people starting from what it needs to be healthy to how to make got money. I think your colleagues must be feeling proud to have a support system around them who is ready to give them valuable advises all the time. Good job and carry on this thing ahead also.

That is a very interesting thing you're doing, and if I am one of your workmates, I sure will want to listen to your suggestios. (I'm an Accountant so I am kinda familiar with some stuff, but of course I am no expert, besides, a second opinion of someone who's more experienced on financials is always a welcome treat).
Your friends and acquaintances are so lucky to have you. Keep it up, you're doing something good there.

Hello there. You're job is so cool my dear. I usually teach about the stock market, mutual funds, variable universal life insurances, real estate a bit of forex, MLMs, time deposits ugh I think that's that. I am that good in math believe. But I am a risk taker. I am also the only one in the family who knows this and has most of these. So yeah, I haven't touch based my family because they are not yet open with the idea. HAHAHA!

not many people are willing to share their gift or talent, the so-called secret of their success. maybe they will in the future when the cash flow has stabilized and the nest egg is secure, but they will not share their secret for free. so i'm glad there are people like you who are sharing them now to those who need them and need guidance.

While it is true that some inspirational & motivational speakers share the things as I do, it comes with a price as part of their career. But they are professional public speakers. Also my "cash flow" is a work in-progress but I can still share some wisdom despite the odds.

It maybe a yes for some instances but several motivational speakers are now appearing from left to right but for a fee. I really hope that in the next 10, 20, 30 years they all succeed and have a fruitful harvest because I made a change on their life.

that's why people like you are more believable than people who are already way up there and cruising along. when i am being mentored by someone who is 2 or 3 steps ahead of me, it makes the goal real and achievable. as you continue to learn from those ahead of you, you are also passing along what you learned to those behind you at the same time.
