adults of r/adultingph, is this true?
for me, there are days when it feels that way. just yesterday, i ran into an old friend, and i could tell 100% of his salary is spent entirely on himself — which is perfectly fine naman. on the other hand, i spoke to another friend who’s debating whether to buy himself a new phone or send the money to his parents kasi papagawa raw nila ng bahay sana. he couldn’t even buy a coffee, ako pa nanlibre sakanya 😔 it makes you think — imagine if he could use that money for his own investments, but instead, he feels obligated to repay the basic support his parents provided in the past.
