Ohmyhome shares tips on personal finances and savings

When work stress hits, can guilty pleasures be far behind? Sometimes we write off our costly designer coffee as a “harmless” reward for our hard work or load our online shopping cart for a fleeting moment of joy. But are these indulgences the way to a stable future?

While we could all use an occasional pick-me-upper, the past year’s crises have underscored the role of wise spending in achieving financial security. There is now a notable increase in the number of Filipinos who have ceased to be excessive spenders and are eyeing more meaningful investments.

Successful property platform Ohmyhome is well aware of this and aims to aid these individuals in pursuing their goal through its webinar series called OhTalks, which will air its third episode today, Feb. 27, at 3 p.m., via Facebook live.

The webinar will delve on timely issues as financial literacy, real estate, entrepreneurship and technology, which will further empower individuals, as company co-founders Race and Rhonda Wong believe “to take charge of their financial futures.”

In its upcoming third episode, OhTalks will explain how our daily spending habits can influence how we work towards financial security. Entitled “Personal Finances: Your Day-to-Day Expenses That Could Have Turned to Savings,” this episode will feature two speakers—Edessa Montano, senior associate sales director of SM Development Corp., and Mark Emmanuel Canlas, department head in Bank of the Philippine Islands.

“With the subjects that are up for discussion, consumers will surely learn to manage their expenditures and start saving more for what they actually need in life,” Race and Rhonda said. “For instance, they can eventually invest in property or engage in a multitude of business opportunities that can grow their money.”

OhTalks is part of Ohmyhome’s commitment to help customers learn to be smart spenders and investors—prepared for whatever challenges they may encounter down the road.
