After two successful seasons Usapang Pera, Sir Vince comes back for another season to talk more about money management with multi-awarded journalist, Atom Araullo.
Sir Vince shares with Atom Araullo his tips, hacks and act ual experiences when it comes to saving, investing and choosing the right insurance. Atom relates to these and wished he had known Sir Vince earlier to come up with better financial decisions.
Usapang Pera’s first two seasons featured beauty queens, Venus Raj and Nicole Cordoves; as well as the “Catwalk King” Sinon Loresca. Previous episodes talked about how to maximize income; how to say “no” to family members, migration process, debt management, maximizing government-mandated benefits and financial planning among others.
The show garnered cumulative views of 20 million, a respectable reach for an online talkshow that promotes financial literacy. It is delivered in Filipino and uses practical and real-life examples to explain financial concepts that typically intimidate many.
The book is a personal finance guidebook that leads the reader through what many consider to be unfamiliar territory—money. It contains expert advice, practical tips, and proven methods that can help the reader develop the skills needed to better navigate the world of finance.

More than just another how-to book, however, this book delves into the Filipino psyche, discussing common attitudes and behaviors that can prevent us from managing money effectively. Real-life examples and the author’s own experiences illustrate that the road may be rocky, but financial success is possible. Informative, insightful, and inspirational, this book will help the reader on the journey towards financial freedom.
