Last Saturday, March 17, 2018, started as a typical Saturday morning. I went to work thinking of ways to maximize my income. It has occurred to be that although I’d been working for a year and a half now, I have not invested in anything.

That afternoon, however, I was financially educated by some of the best advisors in the field. Sunlife’s #LiveBrighter talk explained the importance of financial planning and life insurance. Out of 100,000,000 Filipinos, only 18% have life insurance. Another fact I learned about was the tendency of Filipinos to get stuck in between providing for both their parents and their children (The sandwich generation),

These facts are only some of the realizations I gained that day. I met four financial advisors who told their stories with Sunlife. By the end of it, I learned that Sunlife Financial helps individuals achieve financial freedom. As employers, they also reward their employees with travel opportunities and they recognize the hard work the employees put into Sunlife.

The best thing I realized that afternoon was the importance of financial planning and investment. It is not enough to simply earn an income; that income should be set into something better and grown into something more.
