Family Matters: Making the Right Financial Decision for Your Filipino Family Kindle Edition

by Belen Loreto Grand (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 14 ratings
See all formats and editions
Providing financial assistance to family members in the Philippines can be stressful and take a toll on health and family life. For Filipino emigrants, the pressure to send more money can bring up anger and resentment, along with the fear of being ostracized by their community if they stop.

Author and coach Belen Loreto Grand is the voice for thousands of nurses from the Philippines and OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) who are bound to family and duty and assist their relatives financially. In Family Matters, she shares a system of living that empowers, opens the flow of money, and reduces drama and trauma.

In Family Matters, various challenging issues are addressed and resolved, including what to do when relatives ask for money, how to support a Filipino family without breaking the bank, and how to maintain family harmony when deciding to stop the flow of money. Belen Loreto Grand draws on the Law of Attraction, the Kabbalah, and more to inspire readers to care for themselves and attract abundance for their family in the States and their family back home in the Philippines.

The tools, strategies, and success stories in Family Matters promote a life of love, peace, harmony, joy, and abundance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great discussion for money and family

Belen did an amazing job with this topic of money as family!! I am reading the book. This book can be relative to any person, not just Filipino families who help family members out. A lot of this information is what I could relate to as a person who did not have much, but later acquired more than others around so they depended on me. This caused issues and friction in our relationships. I am relating to your words. Thanks for sharing this message with the world.

This book is revolutionary considering the culture of the author’s tatget readers. It is empowering and should have been tackled long time ago. Kudos for breaking the barrier and be an eye opener to so many. Hats off. A great read; don’t miss it if you are one of those who cannot ( emotionally ) decide whether you have financially assisted relatives enough or not.

This book discusses a very sensitive subject matter that many overseas Filipino workers contend with. The text offers behaviors to eventually break the cycle of dependency. This allows their families to rise up to their own dreams without the continuous assistance from those working overseas. Very well written Belle!

Family Matters brings light to what can often be a very dark subject. Money in general can shut down and destroy so many relationships. I found this book to be very helpful bringing the conversation to money in a way that is constructive instead of destructive. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for anyone trying to support extended family!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2018
WOW! This book is packed with so much wisdom and helpful feedback. It’s a truly important read and shines light on stress that I’m sure most if not all immigrant nurses feel, caught in the stress of feeding their own families while sending money home. This book has great resources and tools for anyone who feels family pressure to succeed and conform to social expectations. I am not an immigrant myself now, but I have lived in another country, and I could totally identify with the struggle of caring for ourselves versus everyone else. Belen Grand is an amazing resource, having mastered such a complex topic. This book should be required reading for anyone moving to a new country and trying to help family!

Big congratulations to Ms. Belen Grand for a writing an empowering book which provides an excellent resource for a "financial makeover". This book provides guides to avoid the pitfall many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) struggle with.
I appreciate all lessons learned discussed in the book and the strategies to manage and improve one's finances at the same time keep a healthy family relationship.
I highly recommend this book for people needing a correction after finding themselves in a place they don't want to be financially.

5.0 out of 5 stars Navigating Finance & Family Expectations With Grace
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2017
Managing your finances can seem like endless frustration for many of us. Layer on top of that cultural and familial expectations, and it can feel like you'll never get ahead or make anyone happy. In "Family Matters," Belen Loreto Grand lovingly tackles the intricacies of the financial dynamics many overseas Filipino workers face, from learning how to set boundaries to changing the conversation around familial expectations, all while maintaining respect for the culture of gifting and reciprocity. She's given readers a fantastic resource for re-framing what, for many, is a source of great stress and anxiety. This book is for anyone struggling to find balance between their new reality in a foreign country and maintaining close ties to loved ones in a way that doesn't break the bank.
