BDO EIP - easy way to save and invest

Yesterday I attended a seminar regarding EIP of BDO.

Easy Investment Plan (EIP) is an investment schemes that enable you to attain your financial goals and financial wellness through the twin habits of regularly saving and investing.

This is the first time that I learned that they offer a monthly deduction thru your debit card for as low as 1000 per month. All you have to do is enroll and fund your ATM . When you reach 10,000 pesos they will give a COP (Confirmation of Participation).

It is the easier way to save and invest. If I will enroll for 1000 per month it just like saving 50 pesos per working days, or 33 pesos per day.

For me this is better than the time deposit, because you can withdraw your money anytime and with a higher income. But off course with a risk, since the money that you will save will invest in UITF (Unit Investment Trust Funds).

What I like about this is I will not have any excuse to start saving since this is will be deducted before I withdraw from my payroll.

A best start to save for the future of our child J
