      The couple has a new article again about financial advice that I saw while curating news to post.

      They have a habit of posting stuff like Neri investing her money instead of buying bags, which is just tone deaf and privileged. People typically make little as it is, and if it helps their mental health to buy a pair of shoes or get highlights, then there’s nothing wrong with that.

        I wouldn’t know the entire context, baka sa socmed nila mas mala. But this particular piece in the link didn’t seem so bad. Or maybe mababa lang comprehension ko.

        But to your point, in the current climate now I feel like putting value in your own mental and emotional state has taken a back seat (over the course of decades) to being “productive” or “earning”. Kaya nagbe-breakdown and nabu-burnout yung iba because there seems to be no end in sight. The glorification of hustle culture makes matters even worse.

        There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking a break and rewarding yourself from time to time. Lalo na kung makakatulong sa longevity mo in terms of going for your goals.
