kasi, hindi pa multi-millionare aka mayaman. ang pinaka-cheap na brand new car today will cost you half a million. pag mayaman ka na, meron ka nang audi, bmw, or chedeng.

ayan. nagrespond na ako sa survey.
Not that my parents left me. I chose to be alone. To be independent. Since i'm the youngest i always feel like i'm overly protected. I'm the only one here in Manila. Lahat ng family ko nasa LA.

How do you cope with that? Can you still save some money with all the expenses over your shoulders?
Well I getting by. I'm even able to save up. So far never ran out of funds. I think it's how I manage it.
I rememeber leaving the house to live on my own.
Ahhh. independence.
I remember a friend saying, "kapag may trabaho ka wala kang karapatan mawalan ng pera."

Why you went back to live with your parents? It feels good being free. but eventually you'll get tired of it.

r u tired.. if your family is in LA. That must have been lonely.. are you sure there are no other reasons in your sleeves why you have to separate yourself from your family?
No other reason for me to be away. I just want to be independent, not to depend on my parents
I'm poor

I think this is one advantage of living independently. You're pushed to be more responsible in your financial management.
Yeah i agree with you. cause you don't have any choice. No fallbacks. Kc if you don't make tipid magugutom ka

Worse is palayasin ka sa apartment. hahahha
Tama! Cguro that would be the worst thing that could happen to anyone
Tapos dahil waldas ka, wala ka pang pangdown sa bagong apartment. Kelagnan pa mangutang.

Yeah ganyan yung kadalasan na trend. Madami kc nagwowork pero wala savings. kaya wala sila pang buffer sa ganung scenarios.
But savings are supposed to be savings. i think emergency funds are supposed to be a separate thing.
Accordingly, the ideal is to be able to save 10% of your monthly income. Emergency funds are ideally 3-6 months worth of salary in a separate account.
Of course, you should also consider your retirement savings plan.
And hndi kailangang malaki ang sweldo para makapagipon.
Tama. Good thing hindi ako magastos. Kung hindi baka pinauwi na ako sa amin
dahil solo na ako nabubuhay... hmmm... siguro may kaya... :)

since 2005 pah.
yeah. you can attain that just by being an employee in a company. you can have low profile with cash instead of a rich owner or someting.
I would say Mayaman, not to brag or anything. In fact im not happy with it. It was my parents' money. But since i started working i stopped asking money from them. So far I'm surviving.

ang ginagawa ko ay nagbibgay ako ng budget sa sarili ko..
sa case ko.. 5K per 2 weeks. Tapos yung rest is diretso sa bangko.
I-try mo din ito, baka gumana sa iyon. it works for me.
ilalagay ko na yung sarili ko sa mayaman.. galit ako sa jeje at friends of akon
may kaya.
may utang at may savings.
yun po ang estado ko sa buhay.
ako ay nde mahirap at nde naman mayaman, kaya't ako ay isang ty....
typhoon! :P
katulad kay napoles
average lang. just trying to work hard to earn more. :)
work smart to earn more, boss. hahahah
I think nasa estado na ako ng pagiging mayaman.. pero I was surprised na parang wala namang kakaibang nagbago sa akin. kumakain pa din ako sa mga karinderia. na-uusukan pa din ako sa kalsada. sumasakay pa din ako ng jeep at tricycle.
on going millionaire
Two days ago,
Dressed up in a suit with blue long sleeves, I just crashed to a party (more like dragged by a friend) where everyone's net worth was way too much (all of the members would have to have at least $2million pesos worth of a share, not considering the fact that most of them have 5 million pesos worth of a share in another place). Parang 10% of the country's wealth compressed into 1000 square meters of space.
It feels overwhelming since everyone was talking about business, money, corporations, stocks, buildings, real estate, world trends and politics. One conversation even talked about dealing with dozens of millions of pesos like it was nothing. Sheesh. Kailan kaya ako puwede mag-usap ng ganyan?

Dadating ka din dyan sir. Just make sure na ang mga kasama mong tao e mga tipong business minded din at madiskarte para makakuha ka ng advises sa kanila.
Back to topic:
masasabi kong may kaya na dahil tumaas rate namin from our US clients :) nakakabili na kami ng mga "WANTS" namin. hehe!

i feel you kilo.
I do sometimes think what if "Trust Fund" boy ako.., Yung tipong galit lang sa pera.., May condo dito, may condo doon.., Ano kaya ang feeling ng ganun? Does the quality of being a human being is affected by the amount of money you have? For example: 1.) In terms of happiness 2.) In love 3.) In the society?

pasok na ko sa level na yan at the least but I never talked about money. I talked more bout culture, life, and naturism.
mahirap ako
On a national scale I think I was raised in a middle-upper class family. Private school all the way. Studied in a rather prestigious college, went to the States thrice and around Asia several times. I have always been under the impression that my life was "ok na" until I went to take further studies where I met people who were living Jay Gatsbies. You'll realize how minuscule of an income you're making when you meet them. Yung kinikita nila in one month's probably more than what Makati workers are earning in 10 years. Yan siguro pinaka importanteng natutunan ko sa professional school, "to always be hungry". Lahat ng Jay Gatsbies doon different backgrounds but one thing's common among them, they're never contented.
Re Vladmick: I'm not part of that Billionaire's club but from my observation pareho lang. The age old saying that "Money does not change people. It just helps them become who they really are." is true. Some have good love lives and families. Other have destroyed ones beyond salvation. Some are mayabang about their financial success. Some are very humble and generous. Depende rin talaga sa kinalakihang prinsipyo ng tao.
Ang primary worry talaga sa ganyan ay yung children nila. Sila rin umaamin niyan. Pag alam kasi ng bata na may "safety net inheritance/financial support" siya most often than not tatamarin magtrabaho. It's common to see kids of the filthy rich to be "professional students" up until their late 20s. After magcollege sa US, magaaral ng foreign language sa China or Japan. After that magwwork sandali (maybe a year pero magsasawa) tapos magmmasters ulit abroad. By then they're already in their late 20's without a solid career. Eventually they'll either join the family business or bibigyan ng business ng parents.

TRUE!
May kaya :) Nakaka - kain 3 times a day, may sariling source of income sila mama and nakapag aral din nman ako sa private school. Thankful nako sa estado ng buhay namin. :)
Hindi mahirap.. hindi naman mayaman... mayabang lang.
difficult :-\
kumakaya. :)
It's complicated.
pipiliin ko na lang ang mayaman...
Mayaman. LOL
upper middle class.. siguro.
nice one marvinofthefaintsmile.. i guess nasa millionaire na pala ako kahit di pa umaabot million sa banko ko hehehehe
hindi na ako nakakasakay ng jeep. magkano na ba? hindi na din ako nakakasakay ng kahit anung pampublikong sasakyan.. may sasakyan na kasi ako. wala akong utang pero multi-million na ang overall asset. that makes me multi-millionaire.. sa Pinas lang.
Tingin ko may kaya,, nakakakain naman ako ng 3 beses isang araw at may extra rice pa hehehe O0
na-realized ko,, hindi ako pangmayaman gumastos para sa sarili ko.
katamtaman lang. :)
being an upper middle class.. minsan, magarbo ako gumastos.. pero minsan, masaya na ako sa cloud 9 chocolate.
