Expatriates Should be Smart About Investment

Working abroad as an expatriate is not easy, you will encounter lots of trials and even abuse from anyone. The locals will see you as their competitors and treats to their jobs. Some Expatriates will get homesick but the government support is not enough. Although these are some of OFW or expatriates problems, there are also some good side like many localities appreciate us as an expatriates because of our skills and talent. Most of the expat also are very hardworking. Without us maybe its their burden too because they really need to hire people from other country and it so happened that we Filipinos are good and can easily adapt the new environment.

Now as an Expatriate we should learn about Investment because by doing so we could start a business when we return home for good. This is the only way that we could reward ourselves for working hard abroad and suffered homesickness for the long time. Nobody will do this but we ourselves. Start learning now like saving at less 10% of our monthly salaries. If you could save 20% or more than that then it is much better. Pay yourself first! Working abroad is not a guarantee that you will retire rich. According to survey 80% to 90% are still poor when they come home for good. Studying livelihood programs and studying entrepreneurship are just some of the example of achieving knowledge in Investing. Studying Mutual Fund, Stock, Bond and Real Estate are also very important. By the Retirement Contribution is very important too.
