Mr. Colayco pointed out the usual experiences of OFWs particularly in Hong Kong, where lending agents and finance companies approach them, giving them instant credit lines as soon as they land their host country, enticing them to borrow money which most of the OFWs grab. They see it as an opportunity to buy what they want not realizing its long-term effect on their finances.
To avoid being broke, he shared the following tips:
Avoid borrowing money as much as possible.
Borrowing money either from a lending company or a friend could eventually cause financial problems. Mind the interest rate and your capacity to pay. Many OFWs turn to lending companies or individuals to make extra spending like buying gadgets etc.
Avoid impulsive buying.
Avoid using credit cards.
It is not your duty to grant all the wishes of your relatives back home.
Avoid investment schemes promising a huge and fast return of investment.
Most investment schemes are sugar-coated swindling, no less.
Start saving for your future and family, NOW!
He also said that if you are already entangled in a neck-deep debt, the best way to deal with it is to face it and find a solution.
