Baby Steps


I returned the P5,000.00 withdrawn from my investment which was supposed to be for down payment for a new apartment me and my cuz were looking for. I couldn't look for a nice place suitable for our budget so I guess I'm gonna have to wait it out a while. Current balance as of March 26, 2007 is P29,303.00. Pretty small still but the most I've ever had, honest.

One day, my money's gonna grow big, really big. I just have to trust the power of compounded interest. Honestly, I would be much happier with P30,000.00 since I like it when 20s become 30s. It's like reaching the next level or something. Oh, it's just me.

I've been reading Colayco's Wealth Within Your Reach but I still like Suze Orman's book better.

In a rut...drat!

I'm in a rut. So far, I have P28,153.00 to be exact and I had to take out P5,000 to look for a new apartment. Damn, and I'd been so impatient about how I won't be seeing any growth until July. Didn't know I had to touch that money so soon. Anyway, I was informed by the company I've invested in not to worry. Said the cut-off's not until the first 3 working days of April. I've just gotta catch up, the nice lady said. Hope I make it or my dividend's busted.
