Are we playing the right game?

I guess that question should be asked every time we make decisions and not only for those that involve our life savings. However, we were told to only invest on money that we are willing to lose. This means we should only take the risk if it involves money that is not critical to our everyday life.

We often become very generous after pay day because we spend our money without considering how we can make the most out of it. Our bonuses or extra month pays quickly disappear right before our eyes and go immediately to the cash registers of shopping malls where we bought branded shirts and jeans, a new watch or jewelry, or the latest model of a smartphone brand.

"Win as much as you can" should have been the game we should be playing but we get lost and confused because we follow the norm and traditional way of going through life. Even though we've heard so much sayings like "think outside the box", we seem to never learn.

Thank you to the duo of Amar Chandnani and Shyan Lim of Money Expo for teaching us a lot of enriching information on how we should manage our money during the Wazzup Pilipinas Get Rich from the Financial Market.

"Mar (Roxas) never denied saying “You are a Romualdez and the President is an Aquino”. In fact here is the transcript of that part of the meeting : “You have to understand, we are talking very straight here. You have to understand, you are a Romualdez and the President is an Aquino. He is being very careful in just taking over because he does not want anything to be misconstrued.”

This is how I understand it : Because of the family histories of the Aquinos and the Romualdezes, the national government must be CAREFUL and SENSITIVE in “taking over” (i.e. sending an overwhelming number of military and PNP personnel etc.). If the national government just did so, the LGU and others can misconstrue what is happening and say Pnoy and his government are power hungry and just want to retaliate and grab power, given what happened in the past. It is in this context that a letter was requested from the City of Tacloban. The NG wanted the LGU to put in writing/ to formalize that they were agreeable to the efforts and entry of the NG in their city. And precisely, it was to avoid this issue happening today. Notwithstanding, this letter or non-letter did not stop the NG from helping/ moving/ acting. Regarding the video – watch it and be discerning. Listen carefully, and check out who originally posted it." - Ana Ojeda

Misconstrued? Even in the most immense disaster, Pnoy was still worried of being misconstrued at the expense of helping the people of Tacloban? Sorry but let me have this opinion as I am entitled to but this just makes me more sick. I hope if another calamity like this happens to us, the president of our people and the national government will not think twice in sending an overwhelming kind of help just because they are afraid of being misconstrued. Sorry, just had to say something here. - Ian Hermosa
