You can also apply this system of asking yourself first “If it is an expense or investment?” For example, buying a house and lot or a condo unit and you were convinced to pay it on a monthly basis by a real estate agent. Sounds like an investment. But what if you were laid off at your job after a year and you don’t have any savings to pay all the monthly amortization. It’s either the unit will be repossessed by the bank or sell it at a lower price to save some of your money that you’ve paid for the unit.

Try investing some of it in time deposit where your money will earn much interest than a regular savings account and roll it over or try putting up a business with small capital. Until you see that the interest on your savings are enough to pay for the monthly amortization of your dream house.

Unfortunately, Pedro didn’t have a chance to go to school due to poverty. In other words Pedro can’t read and write. One day Pedro applied for a job as a garbage collector. During the interview, Pedro is given an application form to be filled up. He approaches the interviewer and said “Sir, I am very sorry but I don’t know how to read and write. I can’t fill up this form, can you please help me!” the interviewer got disappointed and said “I’m sorry Pedro; you are not qualified to be a garbage collector.” 

Pedro got home sad and starts thinking of ways to earn money, until he decided to make use of his talent in cooking and put up a banquet. The people were surprised and love Pedro’s delicious dishes, they invited their friends and relative to try to eat at Pedro’s Banquet. The banquet turns into a big franchise business and Pedro becomes a millionaire.  Pedro becomes famous and a lot of people got inspired of his success “A guy who can’t even write nor read became a millionaire.” He was set up for an interview for a business show. The reporter asks Pedro “You became a millionaire even you can’t read and write, what more if you can read and write?” Pedro answered back “If I can read and write, I am now a garbage collector.”

So, guys make use of your god given talent. Whatever business you are into now, be thankful and work hard to get your dreams.
