I also live in philoppines . But my example is the current wage in the US, so that their wage is enough to live and they have also a savings. In the philippines the wage of employee is not enough to live, theres many expences, like paying bills, foods and etc. But, if you want really to save, its up to you not in your wage. You have choices save your money if you really want or dont save thats easy.
Are you fuckingkidding me? You are crying about your wages but here in my country you have so low wage that you work 8 hours a day every fucking day except weekends and what do you get?
Fucking 300-400 per MONTH!!!
Same in the Philippines. The so-called "minimum wage system" is too low for a normal worker to live decently in this country. Also, you cannot take that 300 as a whole in here; savings, utilities, bills, taxes and other expenses leave a minimum wage earner with more or less 150 for the whole month. Some are even forced to take a loan in the banks, which makes their situation even more dreadful than it was before. We are not crying about our wages. We can live with it, and we did for many decades now. It's just a matter of right budget allocation and avoiding the "wants" of the people that aren't important. But yes, the wage is too low for the people to even bother opening a savings account, or even saving per se. Different wage hike had been proposed, but the government is too corrupt to even bother listening to the moans and cries of the general public.
