Why Filipino do not save money?

It's not accurate to say that all Filipinos do not save money. Saving habits can vary among individuals and are influenced by various factors such as income level, cost of living, cultural values, and personal financial circumstances. While it's true that some Filipinos may struggle with saving, it's important to avoid making sweeping generalizations. That being said, there are a few reasons why some individuals in the Philippines may face challenges when it comes to saving money: Low income: Many Filipinos earn low wages, especially those working in the informal sector or in jobs with limited opportunities for growth. When income is insufficient to cover basic needs, saving becomes difficult. High living expenses: The cost of living in certain areas of the Philippines, particularly urban centers, can be relatively high. Expenses such as housing, education, healthcare, and transportation can consume a significant portion of people's income, leaving little room for savin...

Madalas, dahil WALANG PERANG pampagamot! There are 3 Kinds of Healthcare Short-term healthcare, Long-term healthcare, and Senior Care.

Kapag hindi natin nagamit, hindi carried over ang benefits the following year. Kung empleyado ka, binabayaran ito ng kumpanya HABANG nagta-trabaho ka pa. Oras na mag-resign ka, o mag-retire na, hindi ka na covered. Tanong: Kailan lumalabas ang mga mas seryosong sakit - habang bata, o kapag tumanda na ...

  THE RAT RACE CYCLE: HOW TO ESCAPE THE RAT RACE? 5/25/2019 0 Comments   ​Do you see yourself facing this financial struggle? What Is A Rat Race? ​ A Rat Race refers to the competitiveness between employees for upward mobility in the job market. It is analogous to rats in a wheel that compete against one another to be the first to get the reward—cheese. The rats continue to compete for this measly reward. When someone refers to the rat race idiom, someone envisions unhappy and harried people working long hours for little pay and little recognition. Yet, they continue to take part in the rat race because their families depend on their earnings. Robert Kiyosaki (Businessman and author of the well-known books Rich Dad Poor Dad & Cashflow Quadrant) describes the rat race idiom as a frustrating financial lifestyle. An employee works hard for an employer to receive pay, a salary increase, and a promotion. For some employees, as their income increases, their expenses or life...
