G.Y.M. Seminar: Collective Investing

Taking advantage of the muscle instead of doing your own hustle is essense of collective investing. By pooling of resources, one gets and should get benefits that one will not get if one stands or invests alone. BAKAS is a common term and action among Filipinos similar to BAYANIHAN. In personal investing; BAKAS or BAYANIHAN or pooling; collective investing is almost but a must.

Should you Own Your Home Before You Have Kids?

by: Francisco J. Colayco

*First published in Good News Pilipinas on Sept. 23, 2013

You could be one of a growing number of Filipinos who believe that owning your own home is first and foremost. This is especially true when you get married or when you are starting a family. Family planning is now practiced by so many. Because of the more difficult economic conditions, having a career or a business may even come before having a family. Before that, of course for the great majority, education is the most important goal.

Or you could be a traditional Filipino who will want to start a family as early as possible. After all, having a child is a wonderful experience and most Filipinos still value the family as its most important wealth. During my time, when life was a lot simpler, we didn’t even think of family planning. Getting married at an earlier age was more normal than it is today. It seemed then that it was automatic to get married, have children and in the process of it all, save for your own home.

But this article is about whether it is true that you should own your own home first before having a baby. There is no rule here. You really need to make a personal family budget forecast. You need to understand that having children increases your expenses. Giving birth, feeding and sending them to school can be really a heavy drain on the budget. Therefore, if having your own home is a major goal and you cannot afford to make that investment at the same time as having children, you need to make a good choice.

Simplified Analysis of Your Business Break Even

by: Francisco J. Colayco

It may be that readers may be less interested in the analysis of a business. However, I’d like to address those who might want to learn for a business they now have or for their planning of a future business.

Break-even in business means how much you need to sell (i.e., how many units of products you need to sell at a given unit price) so that you will be able to sustain your business. Break-even does not mean you are losing money but it also does not mean that you are making money. If your sales are below your break-even, you will be incurring losses and if it is higher, your will be making money.

For big businesses, there will be finance people who can do all the required analysis. However, for a small business, the owner will have to do the analysis himself and it may not be so easy for those who do not really have experience. I will try to help you to compute break-even. You do not have to think in a complicated way. You can just use the simplest forms possible.

1. You need a “Profit and Loss Statement” or P&L of your Business preferably per month. This means you have to calculate your Sales, the Cost of Sales and Expenses for every month.
2. The “Cost of Sales” or CS is what you spend to make the product that you sell. If you are just trading or in “buy and sell” like sari-sari stores, your CS is the amount that you pay for the products you sell.
3. For your Expenses, you need to separate into Fixed and Variable expenses. The variable expenses are those that are directly related to the product when you make a sale. For those in trading, your variable expenses are your CS and maybe commissions you may pay depending on how much you sell. If you are a service business, you may not even have variable expense.
4. Fixed Costs are expenses you will spend whether you sell anything or not. Examples are rent, utilities, telephone, salaries and benefits. Notice that these are expenses that do not change much when there are small changes in sales. You will spend these amounts whether you sell or not. Of course, if your sales increase very much, you will probably have to add people and spend more fixed costs. But let’s just assume that these are fixed costs for our break-even analysis.

5. The basis for determining your break-even sales is your sales price per unit of your product (e.g. per kg, or per piece or per hour, etc, etc).

Is most of your money going to your needs? Or is it going to your wants? And given that fact, what are you doing about it?

Mga Kuwentong Barya sa Kasaysayan (Part 1)

Ang buwan ng Hunyo ay ang Buwan ng Kalayaan. Pero gaano ba talaga natin alam ang ating kasaysayan? Kilala na ba talaga natin ang ating mga bayani, lalo na sa kanilang buhay-pera? Ano ba ang sinasabi ng mga ito tungkol sa ating kasalukuyang kalagayan?

Mula Hunyo 3 hanggang Hunyo 12, nagpalabas kami ng serye ng mga “kuwento” sa kasaysayan na may kinalaman sa pera. Karamihan sa mga ito ay hindi nakikita sa mga libro ng kasaysayan. Narito ang unang bahagi ng mga imaheng lumabas:
