    siguro ang thinking ng boss mo pag mayaman na tsaka bumili ng nice things

    that's not how it works for most people
    Yes exactly. I think that's how our VP feels nga.

    It should only be a small portion of the salary.

    I thought I read mamamatay na sila HAHAHA

    So we are similar to the US na consumer culture. It seems like much of Europe is above or beyond just being consumers.

    Both my boss can get an Audi as a car plan pero our AVP bought an Opel and our VP a Golf para no payments needed. Maliit lang naman dagdag for Audi pero ayaw nila hahaha.

    iba talaga ang thinking ng Germans

    they really hate debt

    and they prefer using cash

    sa lahat ng europeans, Germans prefer cash the most

    It's an assumption really as that's where one would most likely take an expatriate boss (unless they specifically request for Tiangge then there's Greenhills). That's why in Makati CBD and BGC, you will see that the office crowd really buy at Market!Market!, SM, and Landmark. They will probably go to High Street, Glorietta and Greenbelt to walk around and perhaps eat.

    Uniqlo is my go-to shop for "no brainer" wear nowadays. Good pricing, designs and fit.

    Yes, my new past time is watching Filipino youtube channels Mapapa iling ka na lang sa mga Filipino personalities sa youtube. Bumili ng hilux e pareho naman hindi marunong mag drive! How impractical is that? It took over a month before they got to use it. Ang matindi pa, they budgeted 150k to make it RICEY!

    Bumili pa sila nung mga pots and pans na worth hundreds of thousands na hulugan din!

    I saw this couple's finances evolve, discovered them Dec 2016. Their online business picked up in 2017 so that's when they bought the hilux, rented a bigger apartment and started with skin care such a GLUTA IV. At totoo yung sinabi mo re owning a vehicle, puro road trip na sa North and South. The sad thing is their only son studies in the same school If I were a parent the biggest chunk of my budget would go to my child's education and housing.
