One way to cure our financial illnesses is to become an investor. Doing so ensures that we have multiple streams of income which eventually, protects us if ever we lose our job or our business closes. One of the things I considered is investing in Philippine mutual funds because a friend of mine has been doing good in it. He says that investing in mutual funds gives you the chance to earn from the stock market without having to worry about learning how it actually works.
The reason for this is because in a mutual fund, your money is being invested by a professional and trained manager who only has your best interest in mind. One more advantage is that your money is already being invested diversely so you are automatically NOT putting your eggs in one basket.
