Americans are into a lot of things, i think they naturally possess the manner of spending a lot, even if they got a not-so-sufficient-permanent-job.
A flashy car once stopped by our apartment one day, and yeah, its the pizza delivery person..
They always seem to live lavishy for today, and to heck with tommorow, maybe that is why most of them go derailed when they lose their jobs because the debts are high and everything's down tha drain..
Its in the news all the time... Jobless father suffering from depression led him to kill his family.. yeah depression.. in the land of milk and honey, so ironic.
Whether its easy money or hard earned they don't seem to bother saving at all... Americans!

August 5th, 2005 01:47 PM #9If youre a delivery boy in the Philippines all you can afford is a trisikad fare. This is america you tend to afford anything, even if its an odd job.
And one thing I hate lot of people are still driving their V8's in the midst of sky-rocketting gas prices.

August 5th, 2005 01:55 PM #10If you worry too much about these things, you'll suffer a heart attack sooner or later.
IMO - it is their choice if they want to have a flashy car or gas guzzling SUVs. As long as they are not stepping on anyone I think that is ok. And as long as they don't b*tch about it I think that is ok.

August 5th, 2005 02:29 PM #16Para sakin lang - don't skimp to much, as long as you save something for a unexpected rainy day. Ang masama eh kung gastos ka ng gastos tapos pag dating ng panahon ng pangangailangan mangungutang ka.

August 5th, 2005 02:56 PM #20Maybe I'm in the minority here,but the problem I think is there are
are a few people who just can't help but to stick their noses in other
people’s business.
Speaking for myself,I dont make a whole bunch of money but I chose
to move out of my parent's house and buy a not so cheap car.
There are times when I feel so down or just plain lousy.I just get in my car ,
crank up the volume and drive around in circles and it will put a smile back in
my face because driving is like a meditation for me and this to me is something
that money can't buy.
Hey I only have one life to live ...even though I don't have millions & millions,
not even thousands & thousands of money in the bank,at least I'm gonna die
knowing that I had and done what I wanted .
