Since I started working for my own and for my family in 2010, I never got a chance to have a 6-digit amount of money into my hands – not until I was able to sold a social media account for P300,000, a one-time deal in 2018.
I started my career as a call center agent in BPO industry earning at least P16,000 to P24,000 including taxes and government premiums. With inflation and the ongoing hike of the prices (food, products, rent, services and transportation) in the Philippines, everyone just like me needed another hustle or extra job to earn more and to cope up.Â
With these big decisions in life, I didn’t know that my life was just beginning to get better career-wise and financially while I spent more time with my family. 🙂
HELPFUL ITEMS YOU CAN USE TO SAVE MONEY!
Here’s my list of useful items for you to save or earn money wisely:
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS
In the past 4 years, I gambled with my career, and with uncertainties, I earn money INCONSISTENTLY on a monthly basis. But the fact that I have UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES with what I do now, it just fuels me to continue and face challenges to achieve more financially.
WHAT ARE MY SOURCES OF INCOME?
As of writing, I have at least 2 major sources of income:
AD NETWORKS

IF I DID IT, YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!
I’m closing this little celebration of mine with a thought that might change your life. Sometimes, you just need to go out of your comfort zone to find what you really desire. Opportunities are everywhere. You just have to grab it when you have it. Everything is possible. 🙂
