Hi everyone, I just made my first 1M in PHP!!! Being here in Canada made it possible for me to work and study at the same time. I started investing into index funds last year around June and I consistently put in at least $1000 per paycheck, (sometimes even more if I don’t have anything to spend it on). I don’t have a lot of luho and wants rin kaya nakakainvest ako ng malaki. At first it was really hard to see my money fluctuate to go up and down especially during bear markets. For context, I lost over 800k in PHP from crypto before from a capital of 80k, I got really depressed about that money that I couldn’t afford to lose back then. Thankfully nakabawi ako and nabayaran ko mga utang ko haha. Going back to the main story, I decided to back into investing uli when I got my first job last year and this time I will stick to old and boring index funds. I just sticked with my plan of consistently investing and focusing on my growth. To be honest, I don’t feel like this is big enough compared sa mga nakikita ko sa ibang portfolios but then as a 23 year old student and minimum wage worker living with my parents here, I’m proud of what I accomplished so far. I didn’t really come from a lot of money with a silver spoon in my hand but then I try and make it possible to achieve what I can. Being frugal and having lowkey lifestyle really helps. Anyways, I want to thank God for this major blessing in my life. Without him this wouldn’t be possible. To anyone reading this, goodluck and sana maachieve niyo rin mga financial goals niyo!

Been using Windows all my life. I got the recent M5 MBA 16GB/512GB base 13” model. Been loving it so far. Planning to do some programming, scripting, VMs and networking. Any tips and advice for IT stuff? Thanks!
