Having completed the 3-month Enrich Financial Mentoring Programme, I began setting clear financial goals for myself. These included saving enough for retirement, purchasing my dream house, and starting a small grocery store in the Philippines. I quickly realised the need to change my spending habits, define savings targets, create a weekly budget, and avoid loans and debts to achieve these goals.

Through Enrich, I learned how to budget wisely and understand the risks and benefits of loans and investments. I started tracking my expenses and creating a weekly budget. I also invested some of my savings in short-term investments and funds, and I'm proud to see my savings grow. Another important skill I acquired was the ability to say no to people who only seek help when they need something.

Since completing the program, I have set long-term financial goals for the next 10 years. Due to the pandemic and my current situation in Hong Kong, I plan to continue working hard for at least another 5 years to save and expand my savings.

The mentoring program has empowered me to become more financially literate and manage my finances wisely. I now have a strong sense of self and know what I want and how to achieve it. Thank you, Enrich!
