Dear Aunty,
I work at a supermarket, and another girl and I share tasks we must finish before leaving. But she takes
half an hour to do something I can do in ten minutes. She always has a story to tell me and stops working
when she does. My boss is angry at both of us, but it's not my fault. I don't want to rat on her, but what
else can I do?
Flustered
Dear Flustered,
Let me propose a better way. Make a log of all the tasks you share, then suggest to your boss that for
efficiency your duties could be divided into two separate checklists. If he's reluctant, go to plan B: the next
time this girl starts telling you a story, stop working to listen and call your boss over to hear what a great
storyteller she is. I'm sure he'll take it from there.
Aunty
Dear Aunty,
I'm a college student in the Philippines who wants to be wise with money. I'm not an economics or
business major student and I don't know anything about stocks. But I really want to buy assets and invest.
I receive about 15,000 pesos every school term from my educational plan. I don't have any idea how I should
spend it. I don't want to just buy new clothes, or hang out with my friends because it would not be wise. I
want my money to grow. Please enlighten me.
Fastbreakplay
Dear Fastbreakplay,
Being wise with money is the No. 1 thing to learn. Start with a disciplined and systematic savings plan.
When your savings reach a sizeable amount, then you may start investing. In the meantime, invest in yourself
by reading up on stock markets and capital markets. Follow the news. Before I started investing during my
senior high school years, I had already studied stock market data of the past century as I believe markets tend
to repeat themselves. If you master this skill, you will master your reading of the markets.
