How I Became a Filipina Millionaire at Age 23 What's up, read.cash friends? I have been away for more than 3 months now, and I have decided to post a life update on this platform since this site has been my home for the last 2 years since I started my blogging journey. Who knew that this platform would be my stepping stone to actually pursuing a writing profession that has been my real career now after graduating from college? If you're wondering about the title, YES. I am already a Filipina Millionaire, as my net worth has already exceeded the 7-digit mark to be called Millionaire. Well, at least, in Philippine Peso (PHP). I don't know if you still remember but more than 2 years ago, when I was still just starting on this platform, I have been very vocal about my **ultimate financial goal of becoming a Millionaire at the age of 22**. I was only 20 years old when I wrote that article, and I was motivated to write that down because a High School friend of mine kind of laughed at my goal of becoming a Millionaire at such a young age. Driven by the thought of proving that person wrong, that I can actually reach that goal, I dedicated more than 3 years of my life hustling nonstop. And if you remember, I actually also became a Millionaire at the age of 21 with the help of my Cryptocurrency investments. However, I wasn't wise enough at that time to sell all of my crypto profits and convert them into cash. During that 2021 bull run, I even considered myself just a "**One Month Millionaire.**" Fast forward to before 2022 ended, I told myself that I will work hard and smart this year (2023) to actually accomplish the goal that I was supposed to achieve before I turned 23 last December. And now, I'm here, writing this down, to share that I am once again a Filipina Millionaire at the age of 23. **No, this is not all with the help of Cryptocurrencies, but it is with the help of just writing words and articles.**

As some of you probably know, I decided not to pursue a career in the corporate world as I don't want to be a corporate slave. So I chose a path where I felt that I would be free from anyone bossing me around and that I could work on my own schedule and be my own boss. And so I chose Freelancing. I chose to be a **Freelance Content Writer** to be exact. And after almost 9 months since I graduated from college, and since I got to book that first client who believed in my writing abilities, I have already earned more than **$14,000** on Upwork, and I also got my **Top Rated Plus** badge. Upwork and the clients whom I have worked with and still working with are such a huge blessing for me that they have also helped me to become a blessing to others, especially to my parents. **My Net Worth Break Down as of April 2023:** **Cash Savings- ₱860,000.00** Most of my earnings from writing content for different clients and companies are saved and deposited in my different traditional and digital banks. I am a frugal person and I also track my spending to make sure that I am living within and below my means. Piggery Business- ₱100,000.00 I haven't written an update about my piggery business which I started almost a year ago, and as of the moment, I have a hundred thousand pesos capital invested in it. My plans didn't go well for my piggery business but I am still determined to make it bigger in the future. **Crypto Investments- ₱175,000.00** Since I started working full-time as a Content writer, I have lost track of my crypto investments and I somehow even lost my interest in them. But from time to time, I have also been trading some of my cryptos which also became another source of my earnings. **Total- ₱ 1,135,000.00** My goal remains the same, which is to achieve **FIRE, or Financial Independence, and Retire Early**. I am still far away from my FIRE number so that I could live comfortably when I decide to stop working but one thing is for sure, I am more than dedicated and motivated now that I have achieved this first milestone. They say that the first Million is the hardest to earn and it really is. While I don't want to pressure myself in achieving the 2nd Million as fast as I can, I still want to challenge myself and push myself beyond my limits. Getting the first million didn't happen overnight. I spent a lot of sleepless nights, early mornings, missed breakfasts, lunch, and dinners, and I even had to skip important events just to be where I am now financially. But I am hoping that my sacrifices today will be worth it in the future. Cheers to all of our goals and may we accomplish all of them! ✨
