About TFM
Hi, my name is Kim and I'm the creator of The Financial Minimalist PH. Let me tell you a little bit about my story. I grew up in a family that faced a lot of financial struggles. We didn't have much, and my mother, who was an overseas Filipino worker, entrusted me with managing our finances from a young age because I'm the eldest. At that time, I had no idea what I was doing and made a lot of mistakes.
But I knew I had to change that. I realized how important it is to manage your finances properly, so I began to learn and grow. I worked hard to build an emergency fund, got insurance and healthcare, and invested in real estate and the stock market. And despite not having any starting capital, I was able to hit my first million by the time I was 24 years old. It wasn't easy, but one of the steps I took was investing in myself through reading books.
I know how confusing it can be to start a personal finance journey when there are so many unfamiliar terms and topics to navigate. That's why I created The Financial Minimalist PH which has only one aim.. "Making Personal Finance Simple For You". My hope is that my experiences and insights will help you avoid the mistakes I made and give you ideas on how to grow, save, and protect your finances.
Please know that everything I've created, from ebooks to personal finance tools, are not my primary sources of income. I already have active and passive income streams. But any proceeds from these products will go directly towards sustaining and running the website. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at thefinancialminimalistph@gmail.com.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I hope I can be a source of guidance for your personal finance journey.
