The Squid Game Takeaways 🦑
1. If you can, stop the cycle of utang! Debt is a bottomless pit. If you don’t know how to get rid of this in your life, it will be a lifelong struggle, pati family mo for sure, madadamay. Never allow yourself to be consumed by debt.
2. Never risk money if there is no way for you to gain it back. Sabi nga nila, don’t put all your eggs in one basket! Only spend what you can afford to lose.
3. Do NOT depend on others to be financially stable! Save your own money, be financially dependent and never let someone manipulate you in terms of spending. Research and know the tricks on what are the best ways to save. Wag i-asa ky mama/papa/ate/kuya/tito/tita ang mga gastusin mo. If you are able to get a job, start managing your finances wisely!
4. Trust the right people! No matter how kind and giving you are, some people will always steal the chance for you to fail, especially sa pera. If they see a chance makalamang, they’ll grab this chance. Be wise in trusting people, or better yet, pag pera mo, ikaw na mag tago and alaga.
5. Kung afford mo, get insurance! Health and life insurance are big safety nets for you pag dumating ang araw na magkasakit ka or mag goodbye ka na sa world. Mahirap na may iniinda kang sakit, pero mas na i-stress ka sa babayaran mo sa hospital! Or pag deads na, ang family mo naman na maiiwan ang mag po problema sa gastos!
6. And lastly, wag mo na hintayin ang point na paglaruan ka pa ng ibang tao just because you can’t pull your life together financially. Habang bata ka pa, mag SAVE! Have an emergency fund, categorize your expenses, be minimalistic, and prioritize the important things. Your future self will thank you for it!
The series will open your eyes to how a person’s financial decision will affect his/her life in the long run. Kaya ikaw, if may 1 Billion pesos ka, what will you do with that money? Think wisely. 💚
