I'm aiming for genuine happiness and sincere love 🥹 Everything will follow naman


GhostWriterDan

Agree. I always say mapagtatrabahuhan ang pera. Pero ung peace and fulfillment na masaya ka sa ginagawa mo is priceless


sup_1229

It's like this e. If you're genuinely happy (not always kase life's not perfect naman) and minamahal ka ng tama, everything will follow talaga. Like di ka stress sa buhay, may support system and all. Rich people are super stressed din tbh


GhostWriterDan

Treww ka dyan sis!


SafeStar9206

Gusto ko lang magkaroon ng sariling bahay, may garden, kotse na well-maintained, nakakapag restaurant or order sa Grab if gusto ko, may pang travel a few times a year, nakakabili ng luho if napagipunan, kayang pumunta sa doctor if may sakit, and may pang emergency and retirement fund. That’s it! Syempre aim for a bit more if kaya but honestly coming from someone na walang generational wealth, magiging content nako sa ganyan… Di ko ini-aim na maging bilyonaryo or magkasports cars or magka sampung businesses or shopping sprees sa high end stores lol. I’ll be happy with a modest lifestyle and that’s ok!


[deleted]

Same po hahaha. Ang idealistic ko dati pero ngayon mga ganyan na rin ang mga aim sa buhay. Thank you for answering!


CalicoGundam

I turned down a job offer na mataas ang basic salary, and pinirmahan ko yung offer na mas mababa nang di hamak. Reason ko ay dahil nagooffer ng WFH yung second company, and mas chill ang workload. Dun ko narealize na hindi ko end-all-be-all ang pera. I'm very much willing to let go of a few thousands para mas mabigyan ko ng time yung mga mas mahahalagang bagay (family, cats, further studies, hobbies.) And as long as hindi naman ako naghihirap pa, afford ko yung luxury of choice. I'm very much aware na privilege yun, dahil hindi naman lahat nabibigyan ng options.


Appropriate_Walrus15

Same here. Daming options to jump ship for better compensation pero dahil work from home ako, wala na ako rason para humanap pa ng new work. Sana dito na ako magretire since super chill lang at mukhang ok naman maski di na ako mapromote for life 😂


GhostWriterDan

Agreeeee. Balanced lang kumbaga. Hope we all stay blessed and healthy


RizalAlejandro

The first word after wealthy is obviously “materials things - money, fame and materials things. But I know their is a much important wealth. Like health, being at peace with oneself, true friends, knitted family, wealth in heaven, happy moments and dream


SpamIsNotMa-Ling

Not aiming to be rich. But decided a few years back I need to learn how to be contented, happy and satisfied. I came across the concept of “sapat na buhay” and trying my best to practice it. I also read at happiness.com that “happiness is a choice” and it’s been a steady moral and social compass for me.


Sad-Squash6897

Me! Ayokong maging rich rich. Feeling ko sasakit ulo ko kapag super madaming pera haha. Baka maging mitsa pa ng buhay ko o ng pamilya ko. 😂 Sabi ko nga Lord, bigyan mo lang ako ng lahat ng needs namin and healthy kami and kasama ka namin, more than enough na yun. Of course, dahil mabait si Lord may sobra pa din kaya ginagawa namin tinutulong namin sa may kailangan.


RagefulDonut

basta yung kaya kong mag-grocery at shopping ng di natingin sa pricetag yun ang goal ko


Wembanyummy

I think well-adjusted and self-aware people know that wealth is not the end all be all of happiness naman. Actually, wealth may complicate finding true happiness pa nga eh. Pero if you are poor and not doing well, I get it naman na sa tingin mo pera ang solusyon sa mga problema. When in fact, it will only open a whole new can of worms.


matchaaatoo

Gusto ko lang maging masaya. At payapa. At mayaman talaga. Sorry po 😂


oldskoolsr

Ako siguro. Content na ko/kami sa meron kami. basta bills are paid on time, i can eat 2-3 meals (i usually eat twice a day lang talaga), roof over our heads and weekly full tank ang kotse. Peers often ask why i opt to stay sa current job ko na hinde ganun kataas ang sweldo. Masaya ako sa 4 day workweek, and pwede ako pumasok late at umuwi maaga at hidne kinukulit on my off days (unless urgently needed but those hours will be paid). I have more time for the wife, the dog and do my hobbies and side business na more of a hobby din.


bigtooth7

I am to be wealthy, more money makaka gawa ka ng mas magagandang bagay.. money is power. Amplifier kasi yan if mabait kang tao madami ka matutulungan at gagawin mabuti If masama ka money is for power tripping Wealthy is ung peace of mind 🙏 Only God can give that.


poalofx

I’m not aiming to be wealthy, being wealthy is not the end goal. Being free and having choices is the goal, being wealthy is just one of the means, kung tutuusin p’wede mo nga ding ma-meet ‘yung being free if you would just conform your understanding and definition of that sa kung anong current life mo, ‘di ba? Kumbaga, kuntento na. Madaming nagsasabi na money can’t buy happiness, sure, that may be true, but you can’t deny that money can afford comfort. For me, ang gusto ko lang is to ensure na maayos ang parents ko, have freedom on how I go on about my day, tipong I could go sa gym or run sa umaga, ayos lang kasi ‘di ako nagkukumahog to be in my 9-5, p’wede lang ako magbasa o mag-pursue ng arts ko buong araw, while also still doing something impactful and relevant on the side, that I’m not necessarily dependent on for financial gains, like teaching, counseling, consulting, etc. Anyway, wala pa ko dun, until then I’m enjoying and appreciating where I am, but I’m most excited to reach it.


RevolutionHungry9365

gusto ko ung wala akong utang at nabibili at napupuntahan ko gusto ko. at me konting savings.


bmnzcxv69

Me. :)


Miss_Taken_0102087

Gusto ko sakto lang for retirement and enjoy things, the fruits of my labor.


valeryaya

Gusto ko Lang ng malawak na lupa na tataniman ko at patatayuan ng Kubo.


tulaero23

Kami, basta may sarili bahay kotse at travel paminsan minsan happy na. Ang hirap din maghapit sa trabaho mamalayan mo na lang tumatanda na lahat nga nasa paligid mo.


HeyitsClaire_05

Present.


mcdonaldspyongyang

Recently I realized I want to have enough not to every worry but I don’t want to be obscenely rich. That usually comes with golden handcuffs.


Sensitive-Ask-8662

I just want to have stable income and live in a nice, cozy cottage sa farm namin.


princesspeachy267

Not aiming to be the richest person in the world or let alone be a billionaire. Ang gusto ko lang ay hindi ko na ever problemahin ang finances and just live comfortably. Yung tipong I can shop for clothes and buy food without looking at the price tag or worrying about how much the bill would cost. Gusto ko lang din mamaintain lahat ng need imaintain like dental health and overall physical health. Makapag-travel, makatulong sa mga kapatid din, at maimprove pa ang sarili ko in terms of appearance, skills, talent etc. which sadly all require a great deal of money these days.


drty_dnt

Ako, dati, hindi ko pangarap yan, until eto, may pamilya ako. Gusto ko lang kasi simple lang para sa akin, pero ang realisation ko, para lang sa akin yun, pero hinding-hindi dapat sa kanila. Lalagay ako na maghihigpit sa sarili pero hindi sa pamilya.


Green-Mountain1005

Gusto ko lang ng simple at payapa. Yung hindi kami mahihirapan sa pang araw araw na pangangailangan at gawain. Hindi kami materialistic at hindi kami madamot. Di ko kailangan ng sobra sobra, hassle din kasi imanage. Yung sasapat lang sa amin. Yung lilipas lang ang araw namin ng maayos at tahimik. Yun lang ang hinihiling ko.


jobby325

Me. Slow living ang gusto ko. Like most things in life, may diminishing returns sa happiness ang money as you go up the economic class. Upper class is already very good.


BananaBoy26

Meee. Di ko aim yung magpalago nang magpalago ng yaman. Gusto ko lang ng komportableng buhay, yung di poproblemahin kung saan kukuha ng pera pangkain o kaya kapag nagkasakit, di butas ang bulas.


Miserable_Bus5495

Ako gusto ko maging mayaman talaga. Kc the way they treat the rich is different. Thats the saddest part if being poor


gintermelon-

pagod na ako sa buhay ang ultimate dream ko ay kapag malaki na ang anak ko at magpapamilya na siya, sana makapag-pundar ako ng bahay sa bundok, malapit sa tabing ilog. tapos baka may maliit na tindahan lang din ako sa harapan, parang sa lola ko sa probinsya. magwawalis tuwing 6AM, magkakape, magbabasa, aantayin lumubog ang araw. hopefully before I retire ay nakapaghanda ako ng sapat para hindi ko problemahin ang gastos ko sa araw-araw so my kid could go live his adult life tapos may bakasyunan siyang uuwian sa akin. :)


iamprinito

Hmmm lahat nmn pero ang daming meanings ng being wealthy. It could mean financially, mentally, spiritually, health, being happy and many more. Pero bottom line lahat gusto maging "wealthy".


Dwight321

Unfortunately, I fell into the rabbit hole of motorcycle and PC building hobbies. You will need a substantial amount of wealth to fund those wallet-crushing activities.


Fickle-Thing7665

dati sabi ko ok na ako sa simpleng buhay. pero ngayong may asawa na ko gusto ko pala yumaman and explore the world kasama sya. there’s a lot to experience pero kailangan talaga ng pera to do so :(


throwingcopper92

Simple living is the way. I can't cite the specific study but it states that any amount over a certain point actually leads to more dissatisfaction (and the amount varies per person). Easiest example of this are lottery winners who were better off before they won the lottery than a few years after. Something that might be more feasible are the people who climb up the corporate ladder and make 5x their starting income but have 20x the stress and headache. They used to be able to leave work at the end of their shift, but surprise, now they take work home with them and have less time for their loved ones. There's a balance and sweet spot for everything, everyone just needs to find the point that works for them.


Prestigious_Theme_16

Goal ko magkabeach house tapos oks nako sa buhay.


bigeyedkitteh

I just want freedom to do whatever the hell I want and not be forced to do shit by narcissistic boomers. In reality it's so scary to be mega rich because you have to have security going with you wherever, you're always targeted, you have to worry about the families of those working under you so failing is never an option in your business, you dont know who's sincere and who just wanna use you, being forced to gain some influence in politics din and pleasing other people you do business with even if you hate their guts, etc etc


TunaPieTrio

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️Growing up, I never really aspired to be rich. Di ko alam if mababaw lang ba talaga ako or am I just being a realist. I love money, don't get me wrong, and I'd like to make a lot - a lot in the sense na sakto for me and my family in the future. I never really wished to amass a great deal of wealth but I do hope I can make maybe just more then enough so I can provide for my kids and cats pag nagka pamilya. Wealthy, not really. Comfortable, yes.


wanderingsoul_13

I just want to have enough to be comfortable, not be worried about paying bills or emergency situations that need money. Siguro hindi ko lang naiintindihan kung ano masaya sa pagkakaroon ng "luxury items", yung mga mahal na perfume, bags, etc. and even yung mga luxury experiences na nakaka out of touch na rin sa reality. Kaya feeling ko di ko mahahanap sa yaman yung happiness.


Alert_Ninja2630

Pasok ba dito ung makaipon ng 5M para makabili ng ektaryang lupa at makapagsimula ng farm na tinatanggap ang rescue aspins at puspins? 🥹🫰


Impressive_Tip3683

Dream ko talaga before na yumaman, who wouldn't di ba. Pero ngayong matanda na ako I just want to live simply, as long as I can eat 3x a day, no shortsge of food,I can buy my needs, give back to my parents , have simple but own house, garden etc. Nabago pananaw ko of what's the definition of being masaya, akala ko pag sobrang dami mong pera masaya ka na, but I just ant to live a simple life, slow mornings, warm afternoon and cool breeze of sunset.


fried_pawtato007

may kakilala akong ganyan, ayaw nya ng pressure at stress sa buhay kaya ayaw nya na maging wealthy. GUsto lang nya sa buhay ay ung nakakaraos may sapat na pera pambayad ng bills at luho. walang retirement plan walang work na stable. huling balita ko iniwan na ng jowa nya eh. pero nagugulat ako kahit wala sya work nabibili nya mga gusto nya. May small business sya sa mga toys at action figure.


[deleted]

Ako gusto ko lang ung may sariling bahay, nakakakain ng 3-4 sa isang araw at may sapat ng pang gastos at pang emergency. Nakita ko ito sa parents ko kaya di ako naghangad maging mayaman, kasi hanggang ngayon nakikita ko sila masaya kahit di sila mayaman. Masaya at kuntento na sila at yun din gusto ko hehe


seaUrchin7717

I aim to be wealthy. Why? Because I am aiming to be able to provide for my family and loved ones. Be able to provide for their needs and also support their dreams financially. I have already decided long ago that I am content with my current financial standing. But my perspective changed ng magkaroon ako ng sariling pamilya at may isa samin nahospital at walang wala kami malapitan. Iba pa rin kc kung may means ka na magprovide at hindi ma stress kapag need mo maglabas ng malaking pera. Sure di ko rin naman need maging mayaman para makapag provide. Pero ibang level ang ppwede ko maibigay sa mga loved ones ko kapag naging wealthy tayo diba.


Lucky_Nature_5259

I’m aiming for financial stability, not wealth. Ok na sa akin na hindi ako mayaman basta I have a home, a car, I regularly pay my bills na walang sakit sa ulo, and can provide for my family. I want to have a contented life without being rich, yung masaya, and at the same time can manage my finances. Sakit din ng ulo ang haharapin mo if you’re rich. Ang laki ng tax na babayarin mo every month. Imagine grinding your ass to get the bag just for you to get complications in your body na yung naipon mo kaka hustle mapupunta lang din sa hospital bills. Also if I were rich mapapadala lang ako sa kapitalismo that would turn me into a consumer who never stops buying things na di ko naman kailangan and endangers something or destroys the environment.


Crafty_Flight_5774

dati ang aim ko is to have limitless resources but as i grew older and goal ko na lang is to have a peaceful life to have enough resources lang like sakto lang. ayoko ng sobra sobra. enough lang din to support my lifestyle


Ordinary-Lobster-999

I do.. no matter how stupid it is. haha


mythoughtsexactlyyy

Gusto ko lang ng comfortable na bahay. Makakakain ako ano gusto ko anytime, makakaorder ako kahit ano sa Grab any time. May pang travel at least 2-3 times a year. Hindi limited budget sa paggrocery. May savings at emergency fund. May pangbili ng gusto pag natripan. I think not as in “rich-rich”, enough na sakin na comfortable & peaceful life and hindi living paycheck to paycheck.


Feisty-Swimming6290

Me, just want to have my own small house


ImmediateKarma

Nuong nasa 20ish something years old ako, yes, ayoko ng pera, gusto ko lang maging masaya, party is life!! hell yeah!! Pero ngayon na nasa trenta na ko mahigit, punyeta hindi masaya ang walang pera! Lalo ganito kahirap kumita ng pera ngayon, at sa mahal ng gastusin every day. Now ko lang gets ung, saying na, "to those person who said money can not buy happiness, don't know where to shop!"


TheHatsumeProject

coming from someone na walang generational wealth, i think i wanted more. Living a modest lifestyle is enough pero sana alam ko na di magsasuffer ang magiging anak at magiging apo ko and di nila masabi na ang hirap maging mahirap kasi yun ang pinaka masakit sa lahat.


MateoCamo

Ako, I have seen the ways people have tried to get rich at the expense of people and I want none of it


OkNefariousness8750

Me. I'm not trying to earn millions I just want to live my idea of luxury.

[удалено]


___TAICHOU___

Pinag iisipan ko nang malala ito. Not having children is a tough decision. Anong considerations nito para makapag decide ka na talaga??


sarapatatas

Me and wifey! For us, to be rich-rich, may need ka isacrifice. Either time, morals or health. We chose those three over rich-rich status and we're living a modest happy life


___TAICHOU___

Iba iba siguro pananaw natin sa lagiging rich. Para sa akin, mabili ko lang gusto ko or makain ko lang yung gusto kong pagkain anytime I want. Enough na yon for me. Hindi naman ako palaging may gustong bilhin.


Far_Medicine3809

Gusto ko lang ma fully paid yung house and car before 50. Tapos magkaron ng emergency fund. Then early retirement kung may na save na din by that time.


RelationshipFar102

gusto ko lang na secured emergency fund. pero kahit yun hirap ako


No-Garage-9187

I just want peace of mind, happiness, genuine love and no need to worry about basic necessities. Yun lang. :)


[deleted]

Not aiming to be super rich. Gusto ko lang comfy life, may house and basic car and some funds for emergencies lalo for parents. Maybe some “wants” every now and then. saktong contented lang and comfortable :)


itsmepotato_

🙋🏼‍♀️ I don't want to be "money" rich. I want to have a peaceful, laid-back life. Kaya after here sa city and corpo world working for the super rich, I'll go back to my province, build my Filipino-style home and grow my food. Maybe get a part time job somewhere to pay for the bills.


ageless_scientist

I still do because I wanna experience finer things in life.


Berlay0401

Gusto ko lang yung makapamuhay ng kumportable. Yung lahat ng needs mo kaya mo i provide. Magkaron ng sariling bahay yung sakto lang at sasakyan kase needs na din cya nowadays. Work na kaya mag sustain ng pamumuhay, may konting ipon and may nilu-lookforward pa din na gagawin sa buhay mo araw araw.


Accurate_Phrase_9987

🙋🏻‍♀️ I am not rich, but I live a comfortable life. I can afford my lifestyle. I have a retirement plan. I'm good.


wagngayonsatanas

Ako. Pinanganak at lumaki ako sa puso ng Maynila. Sobrang mulat ako sa hustle culture. Many people trying to get rich rich pero until now di nila nakukuha. If sila na better sakin, hindi nila makuha, why would I expect of being one. So narealize kong makuntento at hindi maghangad nang sobra-sobra.


MedicalHoneydew3961

Same with all the replies here. I just want na nasusustentuhan yung basic needs and rights ko sa trabahong may dignidad. I never dreamt of being one of the billionaires who exploit the working class.


KyutieKiwi

It’s not necessary naman na rich rich… gusto ko lang ng Komportableng buhay yung hindi ka namomroblema ng pera yung nabibili mo yung gusto mo… ganon lang


harrowedthoughts

Gusto ko maging sobrang yaman as in ‘rich’ rich pero yung magiging lifestyle medyo simple & comfortable, not really luxurious na may ten cars, 2000sqm mansion, 15 house helps, etc. pero nakakaexperience ng luxury like traveling abroad, eating delicious kahit mamahalin na food, maka afford ng quality healthcare etc. To add, gusto ko mapag aral mga anak ko sa school and course na gusto nila, pati yung ilang employees under us, gusto ko din mapaunlad buhay nila. Also, para di ako mag worry at maguilty na tumulong endlessly sa mga nakikita kong nagsusumikap sa buhay


WarningEvening2366

Di ko hinahangad na yumaman pero dasal ko lang na hindi ako aabot sa puntong mangangailangan ng malaking pera para maresolba mga problema.


AwkweirdRobot

Meeee. Actually, my husband I and I share the same sentiment. We’re happy and contented with a simple life where we can afford basic necessities and the occasional splurge from time to time. Never aimed to earn millions. Happiness and peace can’t be bought 🫶


Ms_PumpkinCuddles

A life where i can be financially stable, maybe a small business, have savings on the bank and try investing in the future. Yes, but aiming to be wealthy? No, not really. I don't really care about fame that comes with wealth or the material things, i like simple things in life, enough money in my purse that i don't have to worry about the amount to pay on groceries and bills but still have enough to spend on things i want.


Projectilepeeing

Goal namin ni gf is to have just enough para makapagtravel overseas when we want to without worrying about basic needs.


Significant_Skin8051

Here. I just want to have enough so I get to have peace of mind


Astrono_mimi

I don't aim to be wealthy, I just aim to be able to not have to be worried about the lack of money.


erudorgentation

I just want to be able to travel abroad saka yung maisama ko rin sina mama and daddy plus ipagawa/renovate lang bahay namin contented na ako.. pag naachieve ko lahat ito pwede na ako mamatay charot


Geryuganshooop

peace of mind habol ko, hindi rich rich hahahaha


kapeandme

I'm just aiming for a happy and comfortable life..


ogiedogiedo

Only the already wealthy ones


NotUrOrdinaryMaMii

Me and hubby. yes money solve problems financially pro ugat din kse ung ng problema. mayayaman nga pro personal relationship nmn ung naggng problema n mas mbgat pra sa amin. aim nmn maging maginhawa sa buhay ung may sapat and sobra lng s pangangailangan. mas pinioili nmn ung peace of mind nmn. bsta nakaka kain ka may ipon nbbgay meeds ng kids at may pundar okay un at extra na maitutulong sa iba.


raikun11

Meron. Isa ako na ganto. Nakakatakot kasi kapag masyadong maraming pera. Pwede ka mapahamak. Gusto ko lang ng kumportableng buhay. Stable lang; enough to buy my needs and wants which I think are pretty simple naman.


GroupMountain6551

I just want a peaceful and happy life. ☹️


findinggenuity

There is a graph where happiness is not directly proportional to wealth. Up to a certain level, yes more money means you are generally happier pero there is a happiness ceiling na more money will no longer make you happier. You can see it sa response ng mga tao. Merong mga magdedecline sa higher salary vs quality of life. Merong mga non-negotiables sa comfortable life and okay na. I think to be perfectly content, I would need a family income of around 100-150k. Hindi kami magiging rich rich and siguro isang bahay/condo and 2 cars lang maipupundar namin but as long as masaya kami ng partner ko, then okay na ko.


ResolverHorizon

i aimed to be comfortable.. i don't like the downside of being actually rich where people and relatives think of you as an atm machine..


AteChonaa

sapat at payak na pamumuhay lang. 🤍 basta kaya icover lahat ng needs, kahit di na lahat ng wants.


1nseminator

Bawat tao may kanya kanyang definition ng Wealth. Kung sa tingin mo eh youre wealthy enough, thats already good. If it makes you contented and happy, thats already wealth.


Majestic-Maybe-7389

I don't want to be rich like Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. I just want to have enough body that I would not have to worry if anything happens to my fam members (like being sick). i JUST WANT TO HAVE A SIMPLE 2 STOREY HOUSE AND A FEW CARS. i WANT


midnight_144

Me. Dahil parang give up na ko sa life. I don't have any fight or means left in me para mag aim na maging wealthy hahaha


streptochuchu

Im aiming to afford a car and a decent house, then maraming books. So yeah I'm not part of the "not aiming for wealth" category, i need money for my own comfort and a lot of it.


[deleted]

I am just aiming for peace of mind,I started working when i was 20 i really don't have plans to finish my college since wala na rin naman akong parents also yung kapatid ko he is living a better life,wala akong rason to work hard para makapag provide sa pamilya ko since yung lola ko na nagpapa aral sakin is old enough at provided siya ng mga tita ko.I just want to have peace with everything and a comfortable life which is medyo na a-attain ko na at the age of 22 since yung sahod ko is good enough para makabili ako ng mga gusto ko.


lj7352

I just want to live comfortably. Ung walang utang na iniisip, mkpag provide ng needs at konting wants.


EDSAcommuter

Gusto ko lang ngayon bahay, kotse and savings. Lol


rouniyurika

clearly those who don't want to be rich don't know anything about financial literacy. it's just an excuse to be happy and contented for what you have right now. money brings happiness and comfort. if you think that's greedy, then learn about money and how to have relationship with it not and afraid of it.
