Sa panahon ngayon, mahalaga ang pag-save at pag-invest kahit pa maliit lang ang kita mo. Para sa karamihan ng mga Pilipino, ang salary ay sakto lang para sa pang-araw-araw na gastusin.

Not everyone has a bustling social circle, and that’s okay. While society often glorifies friendships, solitude can offer unique advantages that are just as valuable.   People who prefer solitude often develop deep self-awareness, strong independence, and exceptional creativity. Without the distractions of constant socializing, they can focus on personal growth, pursue meaningful goals, and nurture authentic relationships when they choose to.   Past experiences, personality traits like introversion, or mental health challenges may contribute to someone having fewer friends. However, these individuals often turn solitude into a source of strength building resilience, originality, and emotional self-sufficiency.   Friendship is important, but so is embracing the power of being alone. Both paths lead to fulfillment, depending on what works best for you.
