Technology: My eBook about Apps will Change the Way you View your Finances

It's no secret to my readers that I love to write. That's why I have a blog. Writing lets me organize my thoughts. There's always a lot going on in my mind, admittedly not all of the mess in it is beneficial for me. One day I decided to set my mind's thoughts into something that's actually productive, so -- this may come as a surprise to most readers -- I've actually written my own ebook. As in a true legitimate book with its own adherence to copyright laws, ISBN (International Standard Book Number), and cover page. I'm proud to be able to strike that off the bucket list. 😊



The title of my book is Gen-Z Financial Guide: How to be a Badass in the the Philippine Economy. I'd like to thank the artist behind the appealing cover page of my book, Moody Bread. You can check out her Link Tree and some of her art in the link. Literally the cover wouldn't have existed without her so I'm truly grateful. Obviously I've heard of the saying "You can't judge a book by its cover". I'm taking it literally here instead of applying the expression to people as you can see. Nevertheless I totally agree with it in either of the scenarios, but honestly it's still nice to have a unique, eye-catching cover that everyone can see.

When I wrote my book, I wrote initially about my own experiences with personal finance, like how I make a profit at the Philippine stock market, or how do I make money on the side besides the market. But I've also done a lot of research to better specify what I wanted to go in detail about. Thankfully, my girlfriend used to be an economics professor. She's also a veteran stock trader so rest assured most of the information I've written down is augmented by a professional's eye.

The book was months in the making, with a hiatus in the finalization. I had some hesitations about the contents of the book -- it's the first book I've ever written after all. I want the information in my book to be as accurate as possible and I genuinely want the people who read my book to learn something they can use for their personal finances in the Philippines. It isn't a self-help book with generic motivational speeches. It's a helpful pointer to tools and apps that can help you invest and manage your finances, as well as make money on the side really easily.

The book is completely FREE and you can go over the whole thing in less than an hour if you go over it in one sitting. You can get it here and you'd have absolutely nothing to lose :)

Thanks as always for your time in reading my post. Let me know what you think about the book in the comments below!

Welcome to Escapist Adventures!

Hi there, how are you doing?

I'm Timothy John, I live in the Philippines, I'm 23 years old, and I'm working. This is my blog Escapist Adventures, where I write about the experiences I've encountered that I feel like are worth writing about. This covers a wide array of items but all of them can be boiled down into six categories: Travel, Food, Fitness, Entertainment, Reflection, and Technology. Maybe you enjoy the same things that I do, or maybe my writings can help you out in what it is you're dealing with right now. Why don't we go through it together?

Prior to this blog, I used to write on another blog as Onion Syrup. I think that it's also worth mentioning -- as it was a big part of my online history -- I was an active user of the famous KnowYourMeme website as a site writer/moderator and forum member with the same username: Onion Syrup. I've written several articles of well-known memes such as Draw the Squad, I Haven't Heard That Name in Years, and Graphic Design is My Passion, which has gained about 87,000 views, 98,000 views, and 150,000 views, respectively.

Cheers,
Tim
