I am currently reading the book of Chinkee Tan titled "For Richer, For Poorer: Why the Rich get Richer and the Poor get Poorer". This was the first financial book that I've read 6 years ago, and since I'm reading it again, expect that I'll be writing more about money, finances, and dreams, and goals in life because this book has a lot of Power Exercises and questions in it, so I'll be answering them by making an article here on this platform. By doing so, I would be hitting 3 birds with 1 stone- I get to share what I've learned, I get to assess myself, and I get to write and earn some Bitcoin Cash. Lols 😹
All of us have huge dreams and great goals in life. It differs from one person to another. Some want material things, and some just want to acquire intangible materials and more experiences.
If you have been reading some of my articles, you probably would testify that I am indeed a dreamer. I have been writing some of my great dreams and goals on this platform and I will never get tired of writing about them until all or most of these dreams come to life.
I believe in the power of the Law of Attraction and that whatever you claim will surely be yours, especially if you set your mind to it and you do the right actions to achieve them.
In the book I'm currently reading, there is a question that asked, "If time and money were not an issue to you today, what would you love to do and what would you love to buy?"
And to answer this question, here are the Top 5 things I want to achieve and have in life if money and time are not an issue.
1. To Travel in the Philippines and throughout the world.
Judge me not but this is actually the first thing that came into my mind right after reading the question. Call me selfish who only thinks of herself but it is really my ultimate goal in life, to travel to as many places as I can, and as far as I could go. I want to experience traveling alone, and with my friends and family too. Just like what travelers say, "If traveling was free, you would never see me again."
If only time and money were not an issue, I would be constantly traveling, being a nomad, exploring unknown places, trying different water or air adventures, getting to know unfamiliar people, tasting local dishes, and learning about various cultures.
Who wouldn't want to have 7 day weekends and endless summers anyway? It would be very tiring but the physical pain would be so worth it if you will finally get to visit the places you've only seen on television or in the vlogs of popular celebrities and travelers.
I already have shared before the Top 5 places I want to visit in the Philippines and the world and if only I have a lot of money, I would take my time to enjoy myself in these beautiful places.

2. Buy/ Build My Dream House for My Family
I don't aim to buy or build a very huge mansion, but I also want to have a more comfortable house not just for myself, but for my family too.
I want a house where there are 4 rooms in it, 1 for my parents, 1 for myself, 1 for my brother, and 1 for visitors who want to sleepover in the house. Of course, there should also be a living room, dining room, kitchen, and comfort. rooms in each room and the main one. Before, I also dreamt of having a swimming pool in my dream house. Lols 🤣
If only I have that money, I would start renovating our house now and build the house of my dreams.
3. Start a Business
If only time and money were not an issue, I would dare to take the risk of starting a business. I have been thinking of some business ideas that I want to push through if in case I already have the capital and the guts to start. Most of these ideas are actually Food Businesses. Since I am a foodie myself, I want to put up a business that I would want to patronize. But because starting a business is not as easy as 1, 2, 3, I think it would be a little difficult to push it through even if I already have the time and money to start managing one.
4. Buy a car
I am not materialistic (lols) but if money is not an issue, I also want to buy a car. I also dream of getting to go wherever and whenever I want by driving my own car.
Of course, the car would not just be for myself but for my family too. We will use it whenever we drive to the city or have outings with our relatives. I would also want to use the car whenever my friends and I plan to go somewhere, like to go in the beach or to eat in a restaurant.
5. Become a Volunteer
If only money is not an issue or I don't have to work to make money for a living anymore, I would want to find volunteer programs in the Philippines and work with them. I want to become a volunteer for charity works or foundations just like when there are typhoons or natural disasters. I would also want to volunteer in foundations who care for children, or in any environmental causes.
In the book, there is a follow up question, which goes like this: "Why aren't you pursuing it?"
Obviously, it's because of Money.
The lack of money is the main reason why I don't get to travel in the Philippines and to foreign countries, I don't get to buy or build my dream house, I can't start a business just yet, I can't buy a car, or to become a full-time volunteer.
However, I believe that one day, money will never be an issue anymore and all of these dreams I have listed above will become a reality.
Valid dreams my friend and I believe you can achieve them. We have almost similar goals and I am also trying to work towards first, leading the country so I can have a mind shift by exploring other places.
