There's nothing wrong with going to the malls and spending on what you want (yes, even in buying that Montero Sport) as long as we don't fall into the problems of the west which was unmanaged debt in all shapes and sizes. Basta may savings pa rin and debts are managed wisely then things should be okay.
    Binanggit pa talaga ang Montero :bwahaha:

    Ang problem sa OFW is the next generations. Their dependents just sit at home (and in Starbucks ) waiting for the remittances. Karamihan hindi na nagtatrabaho. Pagtumanda na si OFW, magreretire, paguwi, mahirap na ulit dahil inubos na ng pamilya mga padala.
    Tapos di pa marunong magtrabaho mga anak.

    Same problem with the Tsinoys before. Pero now parang up to the 3rd gen tsinoy, maayos pa rin mga buhay.

    Hehe... natutuwa lang ako sa Monty Sport. No offense meant to Monty owners though.

    At my in-laws place in the province, their neighbor right across is a husband and wife in their late 30s or early 40s who don't work, have an irritating unkept front yard, and an equally irritating crybaby young kid (anak ng... minsan pumasok lang sa bahay namin yung bata at kinuha yung chocolate ng daughter ko so fridge). Both are jobless and rely on their parents based in the US. Pag bumibisita ang tumatandang ama, panay lakad at painom sa bahay.

    When i go to the provincial malls on a weekend, they're really packed with families who buy stuff and not just linger about.

    My former boss is a 3rd-gen tsinoy and one thing he's always been praning about is conserving and growing their wealth. Takot sa "the 3rd generation squanders it..." stigma.

    I think its all in the upbringing of children. No difference in Negros. I've had classmates who would later become very successful in life and careers, while some fell into hard times. Most of them came from prominent and landed families. Money is only temporary, its what one plans and does for the future that counts.

    Gentlemen, Masskara Festival is nearing ... go to Bacolod with your families and loved ones and enjoy!

    With my roots, there were those who were able to grow the wealth even more (through business and intermarriage) and sadly, there were those who became squatters on their own lands. It's really upbringing indeed as when we looked back, those who lost it were the ones who were pampered and spoiled and relied on just selling off their properties and whatever to get by. In contrast the ones who did not receive too much in terms of mana, and had to work in the businesses, were the ones who made better.

    Asians driving global sales of men's skin care products

    SINGAPORE (AFP) - Asia is driving global sales of men's skin care products, with Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans the most avid users in the region, a report on male grooming trends showed on Friday.

    Consumer research group Euromonitor International said the Asia-Pacific accounted for nearly 60 per cent of worldwide sales of men's skin care products, a fast-growing section of a US$33 billion (S$40 billion) male grooming industry.
