Issa

YouWantToBeRich.com is Issa’s personal finance website with forays into life – tackling the hard questions and the silly questions and those in between.

Issa is Melissa Remulla-Briones. Currently obsessed with “financial freedom” and enjoying the journey to wherever or whatever that is, she catalogues her adventures and introspections along the way - enjoying great opportunities (and also some trouble with her mom) - because of what she writes.  She is lover, mother, lawyer, singer, budding entrepreneur, broadcast media person, eternal student.  She exults the pen and the written word.

In real life, Issa is legal counsel for the leading broadcasting company in the Philippines.  She is also a partner of MoneyDoctors, Inc. which provides unbiased, customized financial coaching, and writer for Asia, the Journal of Culture and Commerce, which publishes her articles in California, USA.  She is also a Registered Financial Planner.  Husband Danvic Briones,  who is a constant persona in her writings, manages Left Hand Graphics, a global design firm that offers logo and website design services (and more), chief designer of EcoThings, and the genius behind the products of Rescue72.  He is her hero and knight in shining armor – not that she needs any saving (okay, sometimes).

Issa and her family recently moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
