<p>Actor and congressman Richard Gomez shared that saving money and investing in real estate are some of the best advice that he can give to young stars today. </p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yun talaga the best suggestion na maibibigay ko sa mga nag-aartista ngayon. Kung kaya mo talaga mag-ipon, ipon ka rin at magpundar ka ng bahay. &#x27;Yung bahay kapag nabili mo na &#x27;yan gamitin mo na hanggang sa tumanda ka, hanggang sa magka-anak ka,&quot; he said in an interview with Ogie Diaz in the latter&#x27;s YouTube vlog. </p><p>He stressed that celebrities need to learn how to save money, especially at the peak of one&#x27;s career. </p><p>&quot;Kasi alam mo pagsikat ka, lalo na pag mainit ka na artista, ang bilis ng pera. &#x27;Pag hindi ka marunong mag-ipon, maliligaw ka ng landas eh. Biglang dadami ang barkada mo,” he stated.</p><p>“Magtataka ka ang dami mong friends kasi libre ka nang libre tapos kung saan-saan ka gumagastos pero &#x27;pag hindi ka nakapag-ipon after nun, wala ka ng trabaho, wala ka ng napundar, &#x27;yun ang masakit,&quot; he added.</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AseIBWnIkz0" title="May message si Richard Gomez sa mga artista ngayon… | Ogie Diaz" width="853"></iframe></div><p>In the same interview, Richard also talked about his own journey in investment. The actor-congressman revealed that the first thing he bought from his income as an actor was a house.</p><p>&quot;Ang una kong naipundar na malaki was really a house,&quot; he shared. </p><p>Richard revealed that he first bought a house in Mariposa before building another house in Greenhills in 1996.</p><p>&quot;Nung nag-asawa na ako kay Lucy (Torres), kinasal na kami, sabi ko may isang bahay tayo &#x27;yung sa Mariposa, &#x27;yun ang bahay ko nung single pa ako, sabi ko hindi naman natin ginagamit, ibenta na lang natin. Tapos we stayed in Greenhills,” he said.</p><p>He went on: “And nakapag-ipon pa rin, ipon nang ipon hanggang sa year 2000, nakabili ako ng bahay sa Forbes Park. Eh medyo mahal. Sabi ko parang kinabahan ako, &#x27;Kaya ko ba to?&#x27; Sabi ko if we don&#x27;t buy it now, we&#x27;ll not be able to buy it anymore. So &#x27;yun. Pikit-mata, kaya natin &#x27;to basta ang monthly natin may mortgage, kinompute namin kaya natin. So, nung 2001, we bought that,&quot; he shared.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTPI0Y_BpQN/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading"

ten years which paid the mortgage of the house. </p><p>&quot;Sabi ko hindi naman natin kailangan tirahan &#x27;yan eh. Ang bahay nandiyan na, let&#x27;s have it rented out tapos &#x27;yung renta na &#x27;yun, iyon ang pambayad natin sa bangko, sa mortgage. So &#x27;yun ang nangyari. Ten years may umuupa ng bahay na &#x27;yun. So 10 years nabayaran &#x27;yung bahay so dun pa rin kami sa Greenhills nakatira,&quot; he said. </p><p>Richard and Lucy eventually occupied their house at Forbes Park when Lucy became a congresswoman since it was near the airport.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/9/12/fresh-scoops/richard-shares-birthday-wish-for-daughter-juliana-202334"><u><strong>READ: Richard Gomez shares birthday wish for daughter Juliana</strong></u></a></div><p>&quot;Finally nung naging congresswoman na si Lucy, grabe na &#x27;yung traffic ng EDSA, sabi ko lipat na tayo ng Makati.
