Issue of sending money to family in pinas

[pennybarry]

It's better to send food or other gifts rather than money. My friend had a bit of (my) money left over at the end of the day, which he gave to his granddaughter for texting, rather than to his daughter who was looking after the granddaughter's baby and had no money for milk.
I soon realised my friend and his family were happy to take as much money from me as I was prepared to give, and would not stop until I was as poor as they were. The worse part about it is that they thought it was for my own good, because this culture is greedy and selfish and should learn to share.

Our culture is close family ties and helping each other. Being greedy and selfish is not the one. I agree there's family who are parasites and greedy and sorry if you might found one. I am trying to consider why they became parasites sometimes. Maybe if there's factories close to them, they will work and not ask, or if there's public college where they live, they will study. But many people were born poor and hard to move on because of lack of money.
Unlike in Britain, the government can afford to give benefits to parasites.
Although we pay taxes in the Philippines, (VAT,withholding tax, business tax, real property tax, income tax, inheritance tax) it is too hard for our government to share the tax money to people.

My sister just sent me a mail yesterday saying if i could buy her an original coach bag... I wonder how much does it cost and whether i will have money to buy it...

When I had my holiday in Pinas I have noticed my niece Louis Vuitton bag as I cannot afford to buy it, and talked her privately why she afford to have it. She said it was my sister who bought it for her and my sis said, she did her job well done and she deserve it. I just think maybe a mother will always do that if can afford.

Good girl you are! If your husband gave you financial freedom, then you have the right, but then save for yourself and sometimes check your husband wallet. If you think he is running out of allowance, put some £20-50 inside. If he asked why his money multiplied, tell him you love him really and money is meant to be shared to loves ones. Then give him a hug
