    yes. it was 10 years ago.
    after that... malaki na ang 5 or 6 %... kung mamalasin pa, hindi sayo sasabihin yung hidden charges nila..

    You will have to ask yourself, do you need the car? If you do, then get your money and buy one. Saving money should be a means to an end, not an end in itself. Mayroon ako officemate, saksakan ng kuripot, tuwing dumarating sa office pawis na pawis, pero milyones ang pera sa stocks. Para sa kanya kaligayahan ang makita na lumalago ang pera niya. Tinatanong namin para saan at kanino siya nag-iipon, wala lang daw gustolang niya.

    Exactly! Just like my Tita who flies economy when she has so much money in the bank. My Mom and I keep on telling her she should fly business at her age (at least for long haul flights) but she says she is comfortable flying economy She is that type of person who finds happiness in knowing that her money is growing or she made a good deal or got the cheaper option. There's no goal or purpose talaga, she likes to save money just because.

    Yung mga ganyan tao kahit gaano karami ang pera sa bangko malabong bumili ng latest SUV for happiness hehe

    do we have the same tita?
    everyone in our clan, knows that our tita is the richest... even as she is the worst dresser.. worst home-owner.. worst market buyer ("bakit mo binili yan?" "...itong mura, e...")
    quripot numero uno!

    It's good to save for a rainy day but you have to balance your life. Spend a little. Give a little. Make somebody happy. Help someone. If your time comes you can't bring it with you. Even a single cent. Hope their happy with their lives.

    Yup, Mga ford Everest na repossessed ng PSbank.

    Pwede rin na save na lang money, tapos sabihin na lang sa mga barkada and chicks. "SUV ko ito!" Pero sa tatay or pamilya pala. Diba jut? [emoji16]

    Seriously, siyempre if that's your last money, you can't use it to buy SUV or anything not really important. But if it will not break the bank so to speak. Or will not affect your way of life, why not? Enjoy life.

    I have this "rule" that you need to have at least 50% worth of savings vis a vis how much yun house and mga kotse most if you own P10M house plus a 2M SUV, 1M CUV. You should have at least 5-6M in the bank. But 4M pwede na.

    Malalaman mo kung meron talaga pera isang tao or pamilya pag meron nagkasakit biglaan na serious sa pamilya. Tapos wala pangbayad ng hospital. Ganda ng mga suot, gandawng kotse tapos umuutang dahil hinde kaya hospital bills.

    I have a similar rule on loans naman. I will never loan anything if I do not have the cash equivalent at the bank. Marami na kong "loan" sa Lola ko, if my family makes me pay for those loans, I could readily do so.

    The only exception I would make would be for a housing loan. Mahirap mag cash ng house and lot especially for a salaried person like me.

    Will I ever live to have a salary on the same range as yebo and EQ. I hope so!

    Oy, wala naman ako sa league ni EQ. Mga ka league nyan si Foresterx and Jut.
    EQ's status is just but a dream for me.
