What Is SSS PESO Fund And How Can You Invest In It

Every worker, especially overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), will eventually get old and stay home for good and not everyone has enough savings to sustain their needs. It is good if you have a small business to meet your everyday expenses, pay your monthly bills, settle your mortgages and have a little extra for leisure and relaxation.
Planning for your retirement may harder than it looks but you really need to start as early as now.
The Social Security System (SSS) has provided an investment option for its members through SSS P.E.S.O. Fund where you can benefit a lot.
