Eight years ago, I stood exactly where you are today – confused, overwhelmed, and making one financial mistake after another.I was a ship lost at sea in the vast ocean of investment options, debt management, and savings strategies.Every decision felt like a gamble, and more often than not, I ended up back at square one.I wasn't just losing money.
I was also losing hope.But then, everything changed.

This wasn't about quick fixes or overnight success.It was about understanding the core principles of financial wellbeing and applying them with discipline and purpose.Through years of refinement, this system has evolved into the Financial Road Map tool, a way for those seeking clarity in their financial journey.And I've dedicated my life to sharing this knowledge, guiding Overseas Filipinos towards a future of financial freedom and security.

I'm Jay Adrian Tolentino, but you can simply call me "Kuya Jay."I'm a Certified Financial Education Instructor and Financial Coach based in the UAE.My mission is to empower Overseas Filipinos by teaching them how to save, budget, invest, and live life on their own terms through Financial Education and Coaching.

My journey to financial expertise was paved with challenges, including falling victim to scams, purchasing unnecessary and expensive financial products, losing money due to improper investment strategies, and accumulating debt during my first year as an expat.

My commitment to Financial Literacy has established me as a trusted authority on money matters. I've had the privilege of sharing my insights with various organizations, companies, and universities.
In addition to individual coaching, I conduct financial wellness programs for multinational companies in the UAE, helping employees navigate their financial journeys with confidence.
