    I was in BPI early this morning to follow my car loan, upon my conversation with the bank manager i open up a topic regarding credit card holder she confirm to me that almost 30% of their credit holder was in big trouble for non payment of their monthly due's... then another 34% of their client is only paying the interest only... possible that it will happen here in our country..as Gen Miting say's subprime part II will happen here..

    ^^just don't abuse your credit card.

    i use mine to get gadgets in zero interest-12month-installments and plane e-tickets. i stick to it. i only use it in my grocery, when, in a month i have not been making any purchases at all. i pay my due in full and on time...i spare myself from the penalty/surcharges/and other charges.

    what i am saying is, i don't imbibe the culture of credit card reliance, even if sometimes it would mean acquiring goods and pay the same only after 45 days from purchase...it's tempting, esp when i think of it as depositing my cash in the bank and the interest it may earn...on the other hand, it's the attitude/character that you also have to build or develop. it's hard to succumb to consumerism and let the same stay in the system.


    i don't spend a lot during the holidays...i haven't even bought Christmas lights. gusto ko ng lights? labas ako ng bahay dala ang laptop ko. Yun Christmas na.

    Some of us Filipinos have this (argueably) disastrous trait as well na gusto lagi magpakasaya sa buhay. Kahit walang na pera, at hirap sa buhay, uutang to celebrate some baptismal/birthday/christmas/new year/fiesta...

    maybe because we are so focused on sharing that American dream...even our schools are designed to serve them. our efforts are geared to that...we believe that a good life is attained by being a part of that American dream.
    but the truth is, America is not all that..grisham's street lawyer may be a fiction but many say it's real.

    Exempted pala sa crisis most of my friends, relatives, and neighbors. If you can believe it, one of the richest people I know has only 2 pairs of shoes and he goes to work in slippers. His only investment is in cash and local real estate. Nope, not real estate to make money ... just to hoard. Probably wouldn't know what credit cards are, and wouldn't care to anyway.

    Bakit kaya sa town namin daming ganoon?

    You should move to my home town. You'd fit right in!

    Kaya lang there's only 1 rich family who are into cars. OK, make that 2. But the 2nd one is in the neighboring town. He has a lambo allowed to park in front of the local SM moviehouse.
