What They Say About The “OMG” Personal Finance Book For OFWs
A personal finance book does not only help OFWs, like me, to budget our hard-earned money. It also empower us to get out of debt, save for retirement and equip us with confidence in money-related situations and decisions.
OMG! OFW’s Money is Gone is a finance book that tackles my personal financial struggles and on how I was able to free myself in the quagmire of being broke.
Here are what people say about OMG!:

“This book is both an educational and heartwarming read. Through his own life story, Jun will tell you all about the financial struggles of an OFW; and how he was able to overcome them with the right mindset, proper financial education, and unwavering faith in God.
Fitz Villafuerte, RFP

“This amazing book has everything you need to change your financial life.”
Bo Sanchez
Bestselling Author and Preacher
“Insightful and informative — a must read for every OFW who doesn’t want to be an OFW forever.”
Karl Kaufman
Editor, GMA News Online Pinoy Abroad
“The first basic law of money is Pay yourself first. This is easier said than done because it is difficult to deprive oneself of immediate gratification, and so a lot of us end up with nothing even after long years of working. Our OFWs are in a special situation. Most, if not all, delay their gratification but they still end up leaving nothing for themselves. A combination of over-giving, pre-occupation with appearances (they’re working abroad so they must show abundance), unrealistic expectations from family, and other behavioral challenges all contribute to the dismal situation of our OFWs facing OMG! In this book, Jun Amparo generously shares his knowledge and experiences in the hope of helping his fellow OFWs become good stewards of money.”
Rose Fres Fausto
FQ Mom, Writer, Speaker
Coach, Behavioural Economist
“This book will surely guide and teach you the proper way of handling your finances, making wise decisions and achieve your goals in life. Having this book is a must for each and every OFW!”
James Bryan Cruzat
Assistant Manager, Toys R Us, Winnipeg, Canada
“Money makes the world go round, but many people don’t understand how it works, especially OFWs, and they pay the consequences. This book teaches, leads, and enlightens using practical tips on financial management.”
Sandro Dela Roca

“Jun Amparo’s book is a wakeup call for all of us – OFWs. This book contains many practical tips on how we should manage our finances as OFWs.”

“I was amazed by the number of topics he wrote about “Money.” God has given him the talent and time to share. It was well-written, contained and included sound practical advice.”
Engr. Jovie Nonato
Cost Consultant at Turner and Townsend, Qatar
“With the evolution of technology, we need to consider some other important things to buy aside from gadgets. We need to be wise enough on how we spend our hard-earned money because being an OFW is not permanent. This book is a great reminder, especially for OFWs.”
Jose B. Sabosa Jr.
Network Engineer, Mossad Services Pte. Ltd., Singapore
“OMG is a practical, highly readable guide of the financial struggles of an OFW and how educating ourselves in managing our finances and our faith in God can help us turn our dreams into reality.”
John Patrick Benliro
The Pinoy Legacy, Online Filipino Magazine in Thailan
“This book is a notable achievement in the OFW community, reminding its readers of our modern-day heroes’ valuable contribution to our country at the same time recognizing the sacrifices they have to make for the sake of their loved ones. At a time when a significant number of OFWs come home with almost nothing to show for their hard work abroad, Jun’s book offers an inspiring set of guidelines on how OFWs can successfully manage their finances. The lessons in this book are made more relevant and heartfelt by the author’s narration of his own personal struggle—and eventual success—as a migrant worker. All OFWs and their families should read this book.”
George Amurao
Editor, KaleidoScope Magazine
Mahidol University International College, Thailand

“Very informative, and brilliantly written. Prof. Jun Amparo’s book is an entrepreneur’s handbook where he covered the twin action of savings and investment. To realize the greatest value of an OFW’s hard-earned money, he must save and engage in an entrepreneurial activity. Congratulations Jun!”
Dr. Robert F. Galindez
President, St Roberts Group of Companies
“JUN writes from his heart. This is an important element in this book. Most personal finance books are for general audiences, this one is written for the millions of Overseas Filipino Heroes. I entreat you to journey with Jun in learning and unlearning traits and habits in regard to making your purpose as an OFW a fruitful one. This journey will also make you a responsible steward of God’s blessings for more to come.”
Dr. Alvin Ang
Professor of Economics, Ateneo De Manila University
