When we are still starting our journey to financial literacy, the first route that most of us took was to put our savings in the bank.

It is that time of the year again where the Bureau of Treasury is offering their 1-year maturity Premyo Bond investment with 1.25% annual interest rate.

Once you enter the stock market game and started your journey to financial literacy, your first question will be: "How much should be my minimum stock market investment?"

The goal of many of us when we start investing in the Stock Market (or any form of investments for that matter) is to increase our wealth, which in turn can help ourselves, our family, and others lives to improve. However, some have created investment accounts as a secret (for the intention of surprising their loved ones).

As much as we try to avoid the absolute truth that we have an expiration date, sooner or later this topic will be unavoidably discussed. So might as well prepare for it.
