  1. Yeah, this is actually a bitter truth about majority of pinoys. Most filipinos don’t plan to save and they prioritise too much generosity, which can kill financial goals. I’m an OFW myself and not your average pinoy. I save almost half of my salary every month. I believe in emergency funds which most of our kabayans ignore today.

  2. The average Filipino buys booze and cigs first then pays for their financial responsibilities (if there’s any leftover).

  3. Reality bites when one becomes older,without savings and investment the future looks scary unless you have someone who can always support you.
