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.
