How do you feel right now?

ibig sabihin yata ni pekto, gusto talaga dun manirahan, magsimula pamilya (or dalahin pamilya). di yun tipong dahil kailangan lang ng dollar earnings. madalas kasi di doon sa amerika ginagastos yun kinita nila, so medyo may impact sa economy ng US.

Ummm. No.

I can be homeless here and still love the place. It's something I don't feel when I visit say, the Philippines. Here, I have that "I belong here" feeling. I'm not religious. But, I am thankful every day that I wake up here, not having to worry much.

It goes beyond politics (and economics) for me. Politicians will come and go. But, the place remains always and that's what I love.

That's your HOME. I guess that's the simple explanation. Whereas other nationality wants to go there, work, and send money back to where they are from. Nothing more, nothing less.

You are Filipino by blood, but try blue American by heart. And nothing wrong with that. Yes that's the word, gratitude. No disrespect

a lot of pinoys in America think and say the same thing

that they're sooo glad they migrated to the states

that they're not wasting their lives in 3rd world backward PH

they watch TFC and see everything wrong with PH and think/say "i'm so glad i'm no longer living there... people there are so stupid for not leaving"

Pinoys living in the US have a condescending attitude towards people living here "why are people wasting their lives there?"

tapos mahilig mag join sa mga pinoy forum or groups na karamihan ng tao nasa PH

parang "hey look i got an awesome life here unlike you guys"

I don't think the PH is backward. There are a lot worse places than the PH I've been to.

But, home is home. It's here where I feel at home. Still, I cannot ignore loved ones and people I became friends with over there. I had a great time during the period I lived there because of the people. In the end, it's always the people that makes it fun.

My wife and her friends reminisce about the PH all the time. I've never seen any in her crowd talk the way you described. They always laugh about good times they had there (usually Leyte). They're having so much fun remembering, our living room is like a hen house sometimes.

Whenever there's a new arrival here, they always ask what new things are happening over there. I've never seen any hate for the old country.

I reminisce about the PH too. Heck. I loved commuting and riding the jeepneys there along with the rock music they played. It's a unique experience I'll always remember.

Remembering has choices....having to be here, living it, you're left w/ none.[emoji4] Bless yah, good sir![emoji120]

I don't agree with Pekto, there's nothing wrong kung magtrabaho lang sa America them padala ng pera dito sa Pinas and ginawang milking cow ang America. Hinde sa walang gratitude yun ganun, ganun naman talaga ang buhay. Pekto feel at home sa US dahil born and raised siya doon eh. He's filipino by blood pero wala ng kahit katiting na pinoy na ugali siya. Basically he's American as American can be.

Hinde naman lahat gusto tumira sa America and maging citizen. Masarap ang pumaysal pero tumira don't think so.

I'm 100% sure most of us here have better lives than majority of Pinoys in America, new immigrant and/or born& raised.

Financially secure and not living in debts.

25% of Americans say they worry about money '''all the time'''

Americans are feeling mostly good about their finances, according to data recently published by analytics firm Gallup. At the start of 2019, in fact, their optimism “reached levels not seen in more than 16 years,” Gallup found. Nearly 70% expected to be financially better off in a year.

About 56% describe their current financial situation as “good” or “excellent,” the data shows, which is an increase of 10% from 2015 and the highest score since 2002. And 57% say their finances are getting better, which is also an increase of 10% since 2016 and the highest score since 2002.

Two-thirds, or 66%, say they have enough money to “live comfortably.”

It’s worth noting that of the respondents who feel good about their finances, a majority tend to have higher household incomes, own stocks and be college-educated, and as a result, are “more likely than their counterparts to rate their own financial situation positively,” Gallup says.

However, not everyone is as optimistic.

Nearly 30% of respondents rate their financial situation as “only fair” and 15% say it’s “poor.” Meanwhile, 25% worry “all” or “most” of the time that their household income won’t be enough to cover their expenses.

Their biggest concerns: Saving enough for retirement and unplanned medical costs, with 54% and 51%, respectively, saying they’re “very” or “moderately” worried about each prospect.

Other studies could point to why: Northwestern Mutual surveyed more than 2,000 U.S. adults in 2018 and found that a third have less than $5,000 stashed away for retirement, though experts generally recommend trying to accumulate $1 million. Meanwhile, 21% have nothing saved at all, the data shows.

A third of Americans don’t have enough savings to cover an unexpected $400 expense, like a medical emergency, without selling something or borrowing money, the Federal Reserve found. And one in four Americans have skipped a medical treatment in the past year because they couldn’t afford it, another recent Gallup poll found.

Plus, while key expenses like housing and student loans continue to rise, wages have remained mostly stagnant for many American workers.

i've heard of people who can't even afford a car repair

so no car can't go to work
