Dependence on relatives Have you heard “Anak, mag-aral ka ng mabuti, para ‘pag nagtrabaho ka na, ikaw na ang bahala sa amin.” It’s not a bad thing when you’re children and relatives give you money when you retire, it’s not even bad to ask. However, the issue about it is that it’s not good and healthy, either. Most Filipinos believe that when you raise your children – feed them, give them the best education or protect them from any harm – they are obliged to pay you back someday. Parents raise their child because it’s their responsibilities to do so that goes along with children’s right to be sheltered, fed, and given the opportunities in life. Your children are your obligations, not your investment where you can expect returns. This doesn’t mean, though, that you should ignore your parents when you’ve reached your point of success or even when you’re already earning a decent income. It’s a pride and joy to give your parents something as their reward for their hard work on nurturing you – there’s never wrong with that. But if you are the parent, would you want to depend on your kids after decades of working? You can have a choice. https://ph.news.yahoo/retirement-mistakes-pinoys-always-commit-060149924.html
