It’s true that most of the older filipinos don’t worry that much about their retirement as they know that their children will take care of them in return. And the utang na loob thing enters in the scenario. This mentality doesn’t work in the the western countries. Here, it’s to each his own attitude. But this doesn’t make them less family-centered as we are. The difference is that, older people take responsibility of themselves financially at their later years while younger generations start to construct their own lives independently. They don’t have this notion of double responsibility e.g. I will start my own family but I still have to help my parents / sisters / brothers. Most of these white-colored species do appreciate this deed…but not when it becomes an obligation. <br /><br />AnalyseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-1106215157897104852005-01-20T10:59:00.000+01:002005-01-20T10:59:00.000+01:00gosh now i should have to consider all this???corr...gosh now i should have to consider all this???correct ka sis ...Rob always tellin me that we are hardworking people and had much money when we are younger but we are the poorest among all the old people in the world he encountered...he even told me of wrong notions we had on investments 1) we consider our kids as investments-i remember my teacher in college telling us that this is a bad "habit" our old folks had, that we the younger gen shud not follow<br /> 2) insurance -is not a sure thing...coz it only makes the insurance company even richer...blah,blahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120071.post-1103110568666327562004-12-15T12:36:00.000+01:002004-12-15T12:36:00.000+01:00completely agree with you.

They are very conscientious about their pensions. And very knowledgeable about savings, mortgages, and financial products. That's one thing that was not taught (at least to me) in Phils. I think we have to educate the young people in Pinas just to be aware of good investment choices.<br />Btw, are you a Mapua alumni?celia kusinerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950123615427721012noreply@blogger.com
