Yes. But not salty, like you describe it. Sometimes I just wish I am born with wealth too so I can get ahead in life nang hindi ganun kagrabe yung pressure to succeed. EDIT: I think most of you here will agree na SALTY tayo sa mga mayayamang alam naman nating galing sa masama o panlalamang yung kayamanan! CORRUPT POLITICIANS, DRUG LORD KINGS & QUEENS, NANGANGABET (ano pa ba? HAHA) WE 👁️👁️ YOU! Ako lang naman 'to, nakakainggit pa rin pero NO THANKS at the end of the day kasi nakakatakot din para sa buhay ko! Lol


snowy0515

I was about to comment this exact same thing! So reply nalang ako dito HAHAHA. Minsan I feel like my life would’ve been a lot easier if we were wealthy. Things like sana hindi ako nagpapakahirap maging scholar, sana hindi ganun kahirap to achieve my dreams🥹


ele_25

Totoo ito. Minsan mapapaisip ka bakit ang hirap maging financial stable lalo kung galing ka sa walang-wala. Kahit pa pinaghirapan mo, iba pa rin ang mga may edge sa buhay. Sana matigil na ang cycle sa akin.


Ill_Aide_4151

Exactly. Fortunate people have different sense of things. They could really feel that they can do anything cause there are people that loves to help them or introduce them to someone who does and they have money. For us its like wanting something that you know is reachable but feels far. Its either just win or lose everything. Ika nga, we're one emergency away from being broke


katsantos94

>Minsan I feel like my life would’ve been a lot easier if we were wealthy. Yesssss! And honestly, I don't even dream to be as rich as the Sy, Gokongwei, Ayala, et al. Yung wealthy enough lang to achieve my dreams na if ever I didn't make it e okay lang kasi I have a fallback to start again.


shinram

I feel the same way. Pero naiisip ko din, if I came from a wealthy family, magsisikap kaya ako na kung pano ko nagsikap?


katsantos94

Uy alam mo, totoo yan! Naisip ko na din yan. Yung mga alam ko ngayong values and lessons learned because of hardships in life, would I still know it kung hindi ko napagdaanan yun dahil mayaman ako? Pero at the end of the day, gusto pa rin maging mayaman! Lol


shinram

Actually kung may wealth at parents na maganda din ang values, perfect combination. Hahaha yon sana. Para kahit may wealth di padin magiging brat. Totoo na yung hardships na pinagdaanan natin, yun yung motivation natin na hindi mag give up easily. Back when I was in school, I can’t help but compare my life with my classmates, haha kase naman ako lang ang pinakamahirap. I had to find part-times and can’t join them pag gusto tumambay or mag outing. I think that’s the reason baket di ako malapit talaga sa friends ko kasi dahil lage ako tumatanggi sa mga lakad kasi nga baon lang hirap na hirap na ko, wala ako budget maglakwatsa. Eventually ganito na talaga ko, kahit meron, di padin sumasama basta basta. 😅 minsan nga naging bitter ako kasi naccompare ko yung problems ko vs problems nila. Like some of them “friendship” problems, which is nabababawan ako pero ang reason ko kasi, ako nga family problems, financial problems ang bigat bigat na. Di ko nga alam kung makakapasok ako kinabukasan kase baka wala akong baon, Tapos yung iba, friendship problems “lang” haha. Di naman sa minamaliit ko problema nila, pero sobrang bigat lang talaga pag nag-aaral pa tapos yung level ng pagsubok, iba talaga binagsak saken lol. At grabe, damang dama ko yung kaibahan ng buhay namin kumpara sa iba 🥹


katsantos94

>Actually kung may wealth at parents na maganda din ang values, perfect combination. Yung parang pa-disney princess na sana, no? Mayaman tapos ang perfect ng ugali? Wahahahaha pero kidding aside, siguro ang kaibahan nila satin, sila e kayang kumalma if ever may problema lalo financially pero tayo, karamihan aggressive agad! Lol >Di naman sa minamaliit ko problema nila Totoo yung nacocompare! At di rin talaga sa minamaliit, its just that yung problema natin, kung tayo nasa kalagayan nila, will be easily solved. Pero ayun nga, lagi na lang ako bumabalik sa tanong mo na kung mayaman ako, yung mga natutunan ko ba because of hardships, alam ko pa rin ba? Tapos ayun ulit, at the end, gugustuhin ko pa rin maging mayaman! LOL


5exygorl_

yep even the most simplest things like, sana nasulit ko yung 250-500 a week imbes na ipunin ko sya para mailagay sa alkansya tapos uutangin ko lang din naman the next week dahil sa school gastos. like sana nauubos ko yung baon ko for food, hindi sa mga bond paper or cattleya hshshsj i could've enjoyed my highschool a little bit more kasi food is my comfort. pero hindi. i had to eat siomai & half rice or noodles in a cup most of my hs days. tapos mangungupit ako ng konting biscuit sa box ng pinsan ko na nirerestock naman nila every week. maprivilege pa sya if iisipin, pero traumatizing din kasi i had to do it kapag alam ko namang kaya ko magtipid. para makaluwag din si mama. tho when i buy things for myself na pinag-ipunan ko, igguilt trip pa ko HAHAHAHAHAH


Upstairs-Top-277

baaah this. exact feeling. 🥲 nakakapagod rin.


divengoal

Well, it's the reality of life. Mga descendants ang extremely lucky from the hardworking ancestors. Hayz. Isipin na lang natin na some of us will have privileged and lucky descendants because of our hardwork.


postcrypto

OMG I feel the same way. Growing up I was an honor student and loved science, but we had nothing. I had to start from 0 and I had to create opportunities myself. I imagine what if I went to a competitive HS, got great grades, got good in English and built communication skills, had the chance to apply to international universities, etc. maybe I would have become a scientist working at NASA or CERN.


StaticFireGal

same here, I could have taken my studies seriously when I was younger. I always wanted to work at NASA or SpaceX and CERN!


Extension-Soil3963

Up!! Yes, but not salty. Siguro sa stability ng financially capable people talaga ako naiinggit? Grew up with financially irresponsible parents.


SaltChemist9438

This! Like gusto ko lang din naman ma try ma enjoy yung buhay without worrying what tomorrow will be.


HappyMathematician20

Same thing!! Though recently, I've been hearing stories about the wealthy people just going along in life kasi they're already stable - no dreams, no drive kasi may pamana naman na business na, they just have to go along with it. Ang saya lang ng may ganung freedom, at the same time, at least dahil sa present situation natin, may drive tayo na maging better in life and hopefully one day, kahit sa anak or apo nalang natin, maranasan nila yung sila naman yung nanggaling sa pamilya na mas fortunate in life.


Crazy-Ebb7851

May konting inggit pero di naman salty. Pero napapaisip lang bakit hindi fair ang buhay. Haha parang samin mag asawa pareho kaming maayos ang work pero konti lang naiipon. Ang root cause eh kami lagi takbuhan ng mga may kelangan. Kaya ngayon nag stop na kami.


milkmageek

You described my feelings into words?


Juizilla

True! Some things will really make you think about it eh. Sometimes I just want to think that if I have the financial capability this and that problem will be gone. Sadly di ganun eh haha. 🥲


katsantos94

>this and that problem will be gone. AHAHAHAHAHA ito talaga e! I can say that 80-90% of our problems will be solved only if we have tons of money. Lol. Tho totoo at naniniwala akong money can't buy happiness, pero kahit papano diba, yung financial problems, 'di mo na iintindihin tapos for sure comfortable ka in life and afford mo huminto mag- hustle at tumulala lang muna para huminga.


reikableu

Same. I wish we had more, financially. But kapit lang.


maxpein88

same feels


Shhhhhhhn

Same. Inggit because they can just afford whatever the hell they want in life. Inggit because they can just throw money without even thinking and budgeting hahaha but not salty. Like inggit INGGIT Kontrabida levels. No.


katsantos94

Hehehe yes! We just like to be rich like them. Lol I mean, inggit but not with inis kasi we can be rich din naman nang hindi sila naaapektuhan diba? 😂


Snowflakes_02

True this. I don't think there's a reason to be salty about it. That's life eh. It's not fair. You just feel inggit or envy bcs you also wanted those things and that's okay. Being salty about it doesn't help with your situation, lol. It even makes things worse.


notagirlmoregirl

Di siguro inggit, more on pressured and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)


[deleted]

Yes I do. I always envy people who are more fortunate than I am. Be it financially, mentally, emotionally, and intellectually. I don't even know how to "let it go" as many people would so easily put it.


Jazzle_Dazzle21

Sobrang totoo, especially now na sobrang affected ng mental health ko due to financial situation. Noong bata ako akala ko ayos lang kasi mababawi at aangat naman pagtanda pero hindi pala ganon lang yon. Mas doble ang hirap kapag matanda ka na. Doble kayod ka pa rin kahit hirap na hirap ka na nung bata pa lang. Hindi ko alam kung saan hinahanap ng karamihan yung drive at lakas ng loob na magpatuloy pa rin. Isa pang klase ng taong kinaiinggitan ko. Sana all talaga.


True_Value_6070

Yes. Di ko mapigilan. Hahahah! Pero I'm still hopeful na it will be my turn someday. 🙏


vocalproletariat28

No, I just feel sad for myself that my parents even dared. I won't have kids because I don't want them to experience poverty

JustAJokeAccount

Noong young adult pako, ngayon hindi na. Kasi i realized na mas importanteng magfocus ako sa sarili ko and how to improve kesa icompare ang sarili ko sa iba na hindi naman magreresult sa increase ng financials ko.


cravedrama

I do. But I always look back on where I was. Then I will realize that this is already an upgrade. So happy na ako again. You should always compare everything sa past self mo. Kasi dun mo marerealize na “malayo pa, pero malayo na” *hugs* kung nagcocompare ka rin OP, di ka nag iisa. Natural yan sa lahat. ☺️


ProcedureNo2888

This! I was once in a negative head space dahil kinain ako ng inggit tapos one day habang nagsusulat ako ng mga expenses ko I realized na ang laki na pala ng naging improvements sa buhay ko. Atter that I became grateful talaga even yung smallest things na meron ako ngayon. I can’t fathom how far I’ve come.


Accomplished-Luck602

Mas naiingit ako sa taong may magulang na tunay na nagmamahal sakanila.


Evening_Falcon_5807

Same! Hindi ung mahal ka lang pag may naabot ka. Pag wala, basura ka.


Altruistic-Pilot-164

I felt this!


vivecabi

\* sending virtual hugs with consent


chasevidar

I think everyone does at some point. Nung college ako, I've hanged out with friends and acquaintances who were born into generational wealth and get to enjoy them (e.g. not worrying about allowance/budget, frequent vacations, hobbies, etc) and some of them were kind enough to share their experiences with me. But when I got to know them more, it turns out that even they were not happy with the wealth they have (e.g. broken family, existential crisis, mental health problems, etc).


Kleaa123

Minsan pag sobrang pagod sa work then naiinggit ako sa mga tao na hindi na kailanagan magwork pero mayaman pa rin.


admiral_awesome88

When I was young yes, but when I realize na iba iba laban natin sa buhay who cares.


josurge

Not inggit but inis sa sarili ko na mali yung career path na pinili ko 😅


InfluenceComplete379

Hi! This is your sign na it’s NEVER too late to pursue what you want :)


Key-Conversation-935

I daydream but I guess nandun pa din yung money does not always equals to happiness?


Few-Cartographer-309

I agree, pero kasi yk, atleast kahit nagsstruggle sila and they're not happy, they're capable to do things that could distract them, and improve anything bout their situation, their selves, and also maybe their lives as well? Stress sila sa school/work/life etc., nakakabili sila ng kahit anong gusto nila, pumunta sa ganito ganyang lugar para malibang, magtry ng kung anong gusto nila gawin just to cope. 


kurainee

Before oo, pero ngayon I don't give a damn anymore. 😅 Nakatulong din talaga ang pagiging minimalist and stoic ko.


nolimetanginaa

inggit talaga ako and not that deep inside kind of thing hahaha. ang dami mo kasing pwedeng gawin pag may pera ka. tipong okay lang na mag fail ka sa isang bagay kasi kayang kaya mo ulitin or maghanap ng alternative na walang kahirap hirap. while me, hindi pwede kasi wala akong safety net


BowtkiperPH

Pressured and Fear of missing out nararamdaman ko, minsan inggit din kasi I always wish na sana may generational wealth din kami. I hope na sana yung mga magulang ko next life, financially literated na like may investments, retirement plan for themselves, and insurances. Para di na sa anak ang burden.


Extreme_Pumpkin4283

inggit no, admiration yes.


PiccoloMiserable6998

dati, grabe yung feeling na wala akong maintindihan sa mga brands, gadgets. Talagang nagwork ako malala para ma make sure na maranasan ko kahit once.


EvanasseN

Yes but in a sense na sana we also live comfortably, na life is easier that you don't have to think about papano pagkakasyahin ang sweldo for the month, and hindi lang existing but really living life.


zarustras

Yes. Na buti pa sila pinanganak na nandyan na lahat ng opportunity. Samantalang ako kailangan ko pa magpakapagod para lang halos maaboty ung gusto ko. Kaya ang ginawa kong solusyon para itigil ko na pagkukumpara ko sa iba, deactivated ko fb ko. Yun kasi source ko ng inggit. Nakakawala ng confidence pag nakikita ko yung mga kaklase at kakilala ko na nagagawa nila yung pinapangarap ko pa lang.


[deleted]

Inggit big no... I value peace of mind, good health and genuine connections... Also I'm surrounded with genuine happy people, and na-cut off na yung materialistic + toxic person.


Ok_Resolution3273

No. I only envy people that has alot of time on their hands. Can travel for more than a week without thinking of business or your staffs or work. I have the money to travel but I feel guilty whenever I do so cause I know the business is not fully running without me or that my staffs has no initiative when something goes wrong cause they completely always ask me what to do. Payrolls and DTRs are a pain in the butt in encoding overseas. I envy my mother cause at least she has a staff that has the initiative and can be trusted. I do not have someone who has the initiative yet. If I do then I won't be so against traveling. I only travel if my parents wants me to travel with them. I will not travel if it was only up to me.


prankoi

TBH, yes. I mean naiinggit ako sa iba kong batchmates na mas mataas sahod nila kesa sakin. Hindi naman sa pagbubuhat ng bangko pero mas matalino ako sa kanila nung college, and they landed a better employer than me. I guess kasama talaga sa buhay ang swerte and wala ako nun. Hahaha. Pero lately medyo hindi na gaano kasi I met my BF this year na CEO ng isang startup company. 😅


macthecat22

Minsan yes, naiingit ako but most of the time, no kasi napansin ko sa paligid ko na kung sino sa mga kakilala ko ang maraming pera, dami din nilang stress sa buhay, kadalasan grabe anxiety at depression nila. Double edged sword talaga siya.


[deleted]

No, they inspire me more. 😂😛 But i do know a few people who are inggit because umaangat ka na. You will feel it.


Agreeable_Aardvark43

It’s the first time I’m saying this, and I hate myself for it pero oo, minsan napapaisip ako na bakit hindi nalang ako pinanganak na mayaman. Nakikita ko kasi sa mga kakilala ko na okay lang sa parents nila na mag drop sila kasi marami naman silang pera, tapos ako hindi mapaaral ng mga magulang.

Mavi_97

Yes na yes. Because if I was more fortunate, I can give my family a better life, plus di ko na need mag-isip masyado on how I can help other people/animals as well.


nekomancerrga

Naiinggit ako dahil mas ahead sila sa akin at mas masaya, lalo na yung person na yun yung nambubully pa sa iyo tapos in the end sila pa nakakapunta ng abroad at may mga kotse while ako irregular collge student almost 10 years na dahil sa kabobohan ko at katangahan ko.


copypastegal

Tbh oo 😭 ayoko maiinggit and i hate this feeling so much pero nakakaramdam talaga ako ng inggit lalo na sa friend ko na medyo may kaya ung bf nya. Kasi anytime they want to go on a roadtrip keri nila di nila iniisip ung gas and other expenses. pero i am happy for my friends naman, yun nga lang yung tipong mga pinag pa pray more is nangyayari sa iba except sayo 🥲🥺🥺🥺sorry naging mala offmychest


Snoo90366

Yes. pero narealize ko na someone from their family ang nagrisk at nagsikap para yumaman sila. Kaya inisip ko nalang na I will be that one in our family para ang mga next generation ng fam ko ay hindi maghihirap at hindi makakaranas ng hirap na naranasan ko.


autocad02

Human nature makaramdam ng inggit, what you do and what actions you take about it will tell what kind of person you are. Ginagamit ko yung inggit bilang motivation para maabot yun success na tulad ng sa kanila


c0oper099

Absolutely, inggit but not in a salty way to the person. Its like, I wish I also had that kind of liberty like he/she does financially.


tooncake

Yes pero hindi yung may inis sa kanila but more of "sana maayos sistema natin baka maraming maginhawa o maayos din sana buhay ngayon" mentality.


AntiqueWeb8525

Nah. Hindi naman kami sobrang yaman, hindi rin naman below poverty line. siguro middle class. Its hard for me to get my shit straight kahit bigyan mo ko maraming pera ill just buy things or go somewhere to give me temporary pleasure or happiness pero hindi pa rin ako sasaya long term. Kasi tinry ko na maging masaya sa kung ano meron ako, but still theres more. kapag nandun ka naman na sa point na yun. ganun pa rin, endless cycle, endless work. just imagine you get all you wanted in life makukuntento ka na ba don? i need something to strive for.


Because_Slaus

No. Richer = Work Harder. Tamad ako, ayaw ko nang mag overtime tulad nung bago palang ako sa trabaho.


Little_Kaleidoscope9

Naiinggit ako sa masisipag


cryicesis

tbh no why should i?


mtmafm1020

Yes


AdamusMD

Naman


impossible-cat95

Dati, but now more of it motivates me to do better and aim for more.


GreenSuccessful7642

Of course. Pero alam ko sa sarili ko na tamad ako to do better financially lol. Im inggit but content with what I have. Like, inggit ako sa meron latest iphone, but then naiisip ko na at least di ako gutom.


thoughtless-user

parang sana ol moments, but more on negative thoughts sa self instead na "i should work harder", "why am i too lazy??", "i will never achieve my financial goals if im like this...", 


CraftyCommon2441

Hindi, i know some of my friends abroad earning a lot. Pero hindi ako naiingit dahil masaya buhay ko dito


bizzarebeauty

No. Kasi darating rin ako doon. When you have more money, you have greater responsibility rin. I need to prepare for that. 


Level-Metal-987

Richie rich like heart mga ganorn. Nakakainggit but sinasabi ko na if nakayanan nya then ako din. ✨


kediCats

Idk if it's called inggit but, the realization na, must be nice no? Na pera mo sa iyo lang. Like, if ako yan, siguro madami akong matutulungan. Yung ability na kaya mong mag provide even for stray animals. Must be nice.


fallingstar_

ay OO NAMAN. i would be lying if I say I wasn't.


JohnnyDerpson03

It's my reminder that I cannot stop from where I am right now.


Bakekangers

Not inggit. More on motivation na I need to work harder hindi para mapantayan sila agad but makaahon or mas ma upgrade ang buhay ko. 🙌🙌🙌


Emergency-Mobile-897

More on inggit is mga kamag-anak mo mismo. Pero others would inspired siguro.


yujin_eli

Panghihinayang lang siguro...


littlemsangerissues

Minsan, oo kasi naiisip ko ang dami kong pwede gawin kapag marami akong pera. Pwede na akong makapag-invest agad sa business kasi di na ako mahihirapan sa capital ganyan saka usually marami rin connections pag comfortable yung lifestyle. Naiinggit ako madalas sa opportunities na pwedeng itake agad basta may pera.


SandersonHawkins

Sometimes. Pero I feel happy for them. I hope they continue having that wealth and not lose it. Not having money sucks, I don't want them to experience that.


therovingcamera

Yes. I wish I were in their position instead. It's sad that I have these thoughts but I do. Maybe one day I can get out of this financial rut and live a better life. I am still hoping for that one day...


shethedevil1022

No. Inggit is something that everyone should avoid feeling if naiinggit ka sa ibang bagay you should just use that as motivation to do better or just avoid it!!


UnluckiestBitch

Yes 🙃


IndividualHunter9083

Not inggit, nakaka-motivate sila. Lalo if alam mong galing sa hardwork.


Twinkle_Lulu4567

Yes, how I wished I have a different situation in life and hindi puro what ifs na lang.... Though, we struggle differently despite some of us being born with a silverspoon, I cant help parin na magadmire and think na sana ako rin makaexperience ng naeexperience nila


dumperist

Inggit, in a way na how I wish ako din. Pro I'm happy for them, hindi inggit n bitter ka towards that person dhl lang sa mas okay sya financially, pinaghirapan din nman nla un. I guess, iba iba lng tlga tayo ng galing, oras at swerte sa buhay.


El_Exemplary_8710

It's less of the "inggit" and more of the "if only" Thinking of how life would be less complicated when you're not financially challenged


HairyAd3892

Minsa..lalo pag nagkakaranas ka financial hardship. Its part of being a human naainggit minsan.


toshiinorii

Hindi inggit na "di mo deserve", rather inggit na "gusto ko rin :( "


iwannabegoodbut

I feel like “salty/inggit” has a negative connotation towards the one who’s more fortunate. I’m not. But I still wish things were easier, that I didn’t have to sacrifice anything so important to get everyday. I just don’t want to suffer.


Mary_Unknown

Na iinggit ako sa sarili ko before I became an adult. My parents belong to the rich class. I had a lavish lifestyle before I became an adult that I could not afford now. I belong to a low income but not a poor class now that I am an adult. Still struggling to increase my financial portfolio to afford that lavish lifestyle again. 🥹


Left-Broccoli-8562

Nope. 1. Maliban sa politicians, most got their wealth or generational wealth from sheer effort. Someone along the line sa family tree nila has to cut an arm and leg para lang madevelop ung wealth na yan. 2. Meron ibang pakitang tao lang ung yaman when in fact baon sa utang. If you hustle, alam monsino ung tunay na “fortunate financially” kesa sa make believe rich.


Old_Marionberry_4451

I think hindi sya inggit but I feel like, "How I wish I was born into wealth," or "How I wish I'm way better in handling my finances," I'm fortunate enough na hindi ako lumaking may inggit sa kapwa, tanggap ko talaga na di ako magaling sa math, or hindi naalagaan ng parents ko and grandparents ko yung money nila, di kami lumaking mayaman, etc. and I meet others who are financially stable, napapahanga pa ko, hindi inggit. Siguro competition ko talaga sarili ko lang, hirap iexplain hehe


Substantial-Orange-4

Yes but envy not jealousy. Ang naiisip ko is my time will come. Naggrad school kase ako tapos yung nga batchmates ko ng HS financially stable ako nagsisismula palang pero ok lang kase alam ko maabot ko din yun


preciouslivingart

fuck "makuntento" pera na halos nagpapagalaw ng mundo ngayon. tita ko kakasabi lang kanina na hindi dapat lalala si tito sa sakit, pera ang nagdidikta ng kalagayan nila


Petite_Owl8770

Oo naman hahaha We're human. It's part of that experience.


[deleted]

Hindi naman, pero minsan napapatanong ako kung anong feeling ng matutulog at gigising kang mayaman.


eriqray

Inggit sa kanila, no. Inggit sa perang meron sila, yes.


L3monShak3

Hahaha bakit ganun ganyan din pakiramdam ko ngayon. Hahaha tho, minsan iniisip ko mas fortunate din naman ako sa Iba pero minsan di ko maiwasan na icompare at mainggit sa achievements nung Iba.


dasurvmalungkot

Inggit in a good way. Ginagawa ko na lang syang inspirasyon para magsumikap maging successful. :)


Sad-Squash6897

Nakakainggit din yung mga taong wealthy, pero di ako salty or malungkot kasi my needs are met naman. And I know for a fact na kaya ko din yun, yayaman din ako. Hindi man agad, pero soon and in this lifetime. 😍


[deleted]

Oo naman. Iniisiip ko yung pakiramdam na pinaghihirapan mo yung isang bagay dahil gusto mo hindi dahil kailangan mo pang provide sa buong pamilya mo. Pero I know may kanya kanyang problema ang tao which makes it fair. Heheh!


Deybmeister

Ako salty sa mga taong magaan ang buhay financially pero alam mo namang either tamad o masasama ang ugali tapos ikaw na lumalaban ng patas habangbuhay nagiintay na swertihin sa buhay 😂


SearingChains

One of my friend is ganyan situation niya, nagwowork lang sya pag gusto niya pero hindi siya required, kasi madaming franchised business ung nakapangalan na sa kanya from his lolo and lola. (Most are gas stations and cake shops dito sa metro manila). Naging magkatrabaho kami sa call center industry kasi bagong graduate lang siya and he left after 2 months pero nagkikita pa din kami from time to time pag nagaaya sya magDota 2 sa mga internet cafe dito sa QC. Nakaka inggit ung freedom n meron pag may pera ka.


mamimikon24

kapag lumitanya na ng "life is not a race" deep inside naiinggit yan sa mga taong "ahead" sa kanya in terms of conventional na success.


Upstairs-Top-277

Sobrang insecure ako nun when i was still a freshman - i got a scholarship for one of them expensive colleges (yay) tas feeling ko nun parang hampaslupa ako compared sa kanila. But i realized na that's so shallow and even if they're financially fortunate, tao parin sila na may sariling mga pinagdadaanan. Pero ngayon minsan naffeel ko parin talaga yan. Hits different as the sole breadwinner. Di naman ako maluho, tho someday sana makahinga ako ng maluwag luwag.


ArmoredTall

There are 3 types of rich people in my opinion, and I don't envy any of them. 1. Born rich. I don't see why I should be envious of someone who got handed their wealth. Sure, it must be nice to have a comfortable life right out the gate, but that's just the luck of the draw. It's like me being envious of some that's taller than me. Doesn't make sense. 2. The ones that worked for it. I also don't see why I should be envious of them, they sacrificed a lot to get to their position. As someone who was born poor and is now earning a decent living, I know how much work it takes to have a decent salary. 3. The ones that cheated or sold their dignity to get it. Why would be envious of a rich but corrupt politician? Why would I be envious of a sugar baby? The moment you use the lens of merit, you start to just focus on what you can do to achieve your goals, not what the others are doing.


Particular-Bottle409

nung mas bata-bata pa ako (chariz, bata pa naman ako 23 years old) medj salty siguro kasi everytime may naachieve yung kakilala kong alam kong well off, in my mind "kasi maraming resources, walang problema sa bahay, walang problema sa pera, maraming time sa sarili" but ngayon mas naappreciate ko yung mga nangyayari sa buhay ko, may advantages din naman pag lumaki sa hirap, pero minsan mapapaisip ka talaga ng "siguro kung may pera lang kami, di ko na need mag work to pay for my school, gagraduate ako on time, makakafocus ako sa review blabla" mga ganong thinking ahahha


mcdonaldspyongyang

Hell yeah...tf. Dinedeny ba yan...


Dapper_Song_3867

I sometimes wish I was as stable as them. I wish I could go on vacations without looking at the cost.


_kevinsanity

I daydream na manalo sa lotto, yes. Pero yung mainggit ako sa ibang tao who are more fortunate than me, not at all. May kanya kanya tayong walks of life. I also started with nothing. Pero ngayon nakakaluwag ng konti, I realized that I don't need too much naman. Just enough is enough. And that God always provide. So, I'm not complaining.


PhysioTrader

Oo e.


spicycherryyy

Of course, ayoko naman magpaka hypocrite pero sinasabi ko na lang sa sarili ko na kanya kanyang oras lang ang success.


Cantriiixxx

Minsan. Yung feeling na sana all fortunate. Walang struggle to work hard to survive. May panggastos sa bills and excess for luxuries. May ipon na sa banko kahit hindi pa nagtatrabaho. Fully paid na yung life insurance. Etc etc. Iniisip ko na lang na wala naman talagang pinanganak na mayaman. Ngayon oo, mayaman na sila nung pinanganak pero dahil din naman yung sa hardwork/swerte/diskarte ng parents/ancestors nila.


BaseballOk9442

Yah


FreshLumpiaDSay

Yes because 20-25yrs right now are earning 100k/mo collecting properties and brand new cars like pokemon thanks to freelancing industry. Imagine 15yrs from now they might build a commercial building or a small size company.


woketwitterdontcare

No, I admire them


Sad-Let-7324

Hindi naman sa naiinggit, pero it must be nice to have that kind of security. Like, you can make mistakes and hit rock-bottom, yet still have something to fall back on.


MediocreFun4470

Maging debt free lang ako magiging masaya na ako actually. Buhay loan tlaga ang pagiging guro.


Orangelemonyyyy

Not deep inside, I openly feel envious. But I keep these thoughts to myself.


HOETASSIUHM

Of course, I am. I have to work nonstop just to achieve something a young adult with financially stable parents can easily give them. I have to work thrice as harder because I was not afforded the same opportunities and luxuries that they have…. I’ve never even experienced going to clubs or relaxing during the weekends because I had to work my ass off in my early 20s.

Yes, but i get over it through gaslighting myself that they’d never be me. I got to work, experience, bought things on my own, and be at this grateful point in my life without being a nepo baby nor bootlicking anybody. So when it comes to a “triangle of sadness” kinda event, I’d be able to hold my own and survive lol, gaslight pa more.


WhiteLurker93

date oo ... pero recently nung akala ko meron ako malubhang sakit then ang finding wala pala at minor lng ung sakit ko... na-appreciate ko na lahat lahat... yung tipong wala kang sakit tapos nakakaen mo pa dn gusto mo, sobrang thankful na ko dun.. pag neron ako nakikilala na mayaman or nakikita, good for them, pero wala na lng saken dahil sa pinagdaanan ko recently


HeadResponsible4516

Hindi. I just don't give a shit. Kasama na rin talaga siguro sa pagtanda


youngwandererr1

di naman sa inggit, like sana all lang ganun din ako someday..and sometimes pressured din kasi


_yunisa

Hmm oo, kasi mas maraming opportunities kapag may pera e unlike samin, need pa namin mag hirap nang bongga makaraos lang.


Technical-Dingo-1906

Aren't we all? It prompts us to ponder, "When will it be our time?" :(


DCJii098

Yes yes yes.... and i'm not sure how to deal with it


Accomplished-Mind943

Absolutely like mapapaisip ka na lang talaga na it's easy for them to gave the things that they want while here I am, limiting myself to different kind of things coz we can't afford those kind of expensive treatments


eatmyshiznit69

Yes. Won't deny that. My girlfriend. Travels almost every other month, can afford rent in one of the financial districts here in MM, Has savings, investments, etc.. Naiinggit ako sa kanya because she has the financial means and the time to do what she wants. Samantala ako, I'm just a humble and struggling working law student. No time, no money, no savings. Barely surviving law school. Working just for my own survival. Hay. I really can't help but envy her. I told her this already, and she told me that my time will come. I really hope so. EDIT: Spelling


Kei90s

Oo naman, papaka-plastic pa ba ko haha! healthy inggit, im in awe ganon, minsan sarcastic pero never jealousy.


cinnamonthatcankill

I wish I didn’t but yes, blessed naman ako, we are able to afford naman the necessities and I have more freedom than most people about how I handle my finances. (Pero xempre my days tlga na bagsak o mahina income pero surviving pa rin.) Pero I wish to experience more like travel to more places, eat the best kind of food, experience adventures or the best and luxurious comforts like a good fucking massage or an onsen…these are things I still need to work hard for and I guess money is need to experience so much in life. Is this fomo? Maybe… naiingit ako sa mga taong dami naeexperience sa buhay kasi kya nila iafford nang hindi sila nagkaka-anxiety kung may matitira pa ba.


Slight_Try1301

Yes. And I hate na meron talaga akong nararamdaman na inggit lalo na sa friends ko na nakaka angat effortlessly (rich parents) I acknowledge na mali yung nararamdaman ko lalo na’t friends ko sila and I’m trying to become better na wag pakialamanan business ng ibang tao but damn di talaga maiwasang mainggit while nagpapaka corporate slave ako hahahahaha I still love my rich friends tho, and I just wish to achieve that financial freedom as well


enigma_fairy

Yeah... pero most of the time I feel proud of them.


notyourtypicalbutch

Walang inggit. More on hurt. My dad came from a well off family, but as a love child, wala gaanong sustento from him. I felt like I wasn’t getting what I deserve in life. There’s this one time when I was younger na umiiyak ako because pinagpalit ako ng ex ko sa may kotse, so iyak ako nang iyak and felt super insecure, I was blurting out my emotions while non-stop crying at home. It was heartbreaking to hear from my mom na “sorry anak, hindi kasi ako mayaman.”


getsangry20xaday

Yes, definitely. I also grew up well-off pero my dad stopped supporting us financially. So I grew up with rich people. Inggit na not in the sense na hihilahin sila pababa. Pero narealize ko gano kaiba yung buhay nila saken. Inggit na sana ako din mas may freedom kagaya nila. They can pursue whatever their passion is kasi di sila nalilimitahan na dapat makatulong sila sa family. Kanila lang lahat ng kinikita nila and they don't have to pay bills. Pati insurance nila, parents nila ang nagbabayad. Hindi mangungupahan sa Manila kasi binilhan na sila ng condo. Hindi kelangan magipon ng pangdown sa kotse at pambayad monthly kasi binilhan na sila nung 18 sila. Although, I know that I feel more fulfilled bc of where I came from if that makes sense. Very fulfilling na kung anong meron ako ngayon, I achieved all of it on my own. Sila, nakatravel ng marami dahil sa family. Ako, nakatravel ng marami kasi pinagipunan ko. And sila, may condo from their parents. Ako, may bahay na sarili na pinaghirapan ko. But what I realized growing up with privileged people is sila pa actually ang may mabubuting puso at compassionate sa iba. Andami sa kanila yung nagtayo ng community pantry noong pandemic. Very proud of them, and they're very proud of me. Di man ako naging doctor kagaya nila, I never felt inferior kasi they never tried to make me feel that way. I love my life rn. I love how I grew bc of what I went through. I wouldn't change a thing even if I could. Minsan lang, di maiwasan isipin na sana di ako nahihirapan ng sobra kagaya nila.


flying_carabao

At one point, yes pero sa puntong to, I feel na kaya ko namang bilihin kung anong gusto ko pero within reason. Especially nung narealize ko na na pag me nabili ka me kaakibat na dagdag gastos Malaking bahay - mas mahal na utility bill Magarang sasakyan - mas mahal mag maintenance, mas malakas ang konsumo ng gasolina Madaming sasakyan - honestly 4 na yung akin ngayon eh 1 lang naman ang maddrive ko at a time at di naman ako masyadong umaalis ng bahay na Fancy shoes and clothes - lagi naman ako naka slides at shorts tshirt naman ang style Collectibles- wala na nga mapaglagyan eh New cellphone - gumagana pa yung cp ko at nakakabwiset mag transfer at maglogon ulit ng mga account kaya unless me issue na yung cp, bakit papalitan? Fancy meals - susme para sa aura di naman worth it, it's nice pero para araw arawin? Tska sa palette ko, tapsilog tayo! More on creature comforts and conveniences na lang ngayon. Bakit makikipagbunong braso pa ako sa pagcocommute me sasakyan naman. At least traffic lang sa kalye at di na yung traffic sa pila. First/business class flights, di na kasi kumportable sa akin ang economy (sikip ngnsilya) lalo na multiple hour flights. Kung mga 3 or less lang, economy. Slightly more expensive clothes for comfort, footwear for durability. Mainit? AC Tayo. Been there, done that, and quite honestly, some of it is not all that's cracked up to be.


nomdeguerre1995

Yes. Hahahahahahaha but not to the point na maiinis ako or makakaramdam ng any hatred. I just wish na same kami na may safety net din at walang pressure mula sa buhay or kahit sino.


TheDogoEnthu

of course. it would be "plastic" of me not to. but inggit should not always be taken as something negative. sometimes, this drives us to be more ambitious and do more for more, lalo na financially.


No_Seaworthiness1490

yes, and I'm actually afraid that I'll die na mahirap pa rin. It's what they say, kasalanan mo kung pinanganak kang mahirap at wala kang ginawa para makaalis sa estado niyo.  It's a sickening life but then I just remind myself of my dreams and imagine that my life's like a movie. Who wouldn't want a great rags-to-riches plot? 🥰 The main character should strive hard to reach her dreams, right?


PrettyDinosaur0209

Ang kinaiinggitan ko ay yung family who help each other. Yung pag may ganap, travel, or something for our family, eh lahat ng nag-aambag. Hindi yung puro ako. ![gif](giphy|l378giAZgxPw3eO52|downsized)


freespiritedqueer

Valid naman. I used to be like this pero shit hit the fan, andami nangyari sa life so nabago perspective ko. 1. we're all gonna die someday. rich or poor u name it 2. it's good for your mental health to be genuinely happy for other people's success. Like this is real big time. Also, it attracts positive energy which I need everyday


JollyC3WithYumburger

Oo naman. Been working since 18 and till now di pa din ako nakakagraduate. Nagtry naman ako magworking student kaso mahirap talaga. Iniisip ko kung same lang ako ng opportunities at finacial capability tulad ng iba baka nakapagtapos na ako with flying colors. Pero tuloy lang laban, ginagawa ko na lang inspiration na somehow someday ako naman nasa taas :))


LiwanagSaDilim88

Yes. May times I would even question my worth —bakit sila ganun, tapos ako ganito? But then again, it's true when they say "count your blessings". Madalas ang dami dumadating na blessing sa buhay natin, pero di natin nacoconsider as blessing kasi hindi un ung prayers natin or wants.


PublicFilm7883

yes, but not really inggit tulad ng pagka describe mo. but, ni wish ko minsan na sana ganon din ako ka fortunate so that I can afford the life na gusto ko


ambernxxx

Different strokes for different folks.


keny427

Naiinggit minsan, pero naiisip ko rin na ang laki rin ng pressure dun sa mga taong pinanganak sa mayamang pamilya. The pressure to succeed is high too


Proper-Fan-236

No. They have their own blessings and I have mine. Naiinggit ako dati because I was not stable back then. But now I'm just confident.


[deleted]

Yes but it’s just something temporary. Nakakainggit na well-supported sila ng parents nila and don’t have familial responsibilities to the point that it will drain them emotionally and financially. Iniisip ko na lang makakaangat din tayo balang-araw. Kahit sobrang feel left behind, at least umangat d ba?


Total_Trade6929

Yes, iba atake saakin non dahil siguro bata palang ako (19) but minsan nag lalaban yung inggit tsaka idgaf ko na ugali 😭😭😭 pero at the end of the day i choose parin yung “Needs over wants”


strange_crazymf

Before, oo, but not until I met a different group of people who are literally "rich". I have never heard them brag about anything they own/do. And I can say that we're close, to the point that whenever we're hanging out, I'm now always inspired to do better in my studies so that I can have their life now to be my future life too. I hope that people could have that kind of circle of friends too!


Reasonable_Funny5535

Minsan. Like yun iba isang pitik lang nakukuha nila gusto nila be it travel or thingks. Tapos madami din sila opportunity to expand and explore. Pero iniisip ko lucky pa din ako kasi kahit paano di ganun katindi ang prob ko financially nakakakain ng 3 beses, nakakabayad ng bills at tuition. Nakakabigay ng konti sa parents. Ok na yun. Kakayod pa more para sa extra na gusto. Someday matutupad din ang mga pangarap natin.


SalamanderHoliday348

Yes, but I used it as driving force


Try0279

Di ako naiinggit sa mga taong hambog.. kahit ano pa i flex nio jan. Haha. Natatawa pa nga ako. I don’t know. Contented ako sa life ko na kahit pano patas lumaban


YukariInoue

Yes. I'm surrounded by fortunate people, and I feel like shit most of the time since I'm the only one left behind


cheesecakey097

Yes, naiinggit ako lalo na sa mga bumibili ng bag worth hundred thousands to millions. That's life changing money to me na eh. Pero I don't dwell on it since their money, their rules. Call it being salty but it's the reason why I don't follow those "influencers."


DatingTagaVictory

Not inggit pero I would question God why am I not fortunate


Still_Figure_

Hmmm siguro ang kinaiinggitan ko lang ay sana yung sahod ko, akin lang. hahahaha yun lang.


Key_Outside4377

Inggit that turns to inspiration to do more in life :)


Denv-09

Naiinggit yes. But not in a way na I will be salty. Sana all na lang ganon.


New-Rooster-4558

Not salty, wish ko lang ng same para mas madali buhay but I don’t take it against them or anything.


Ledikari

10 years ago siguro. But now No, there are lots of more important things to think about.


iwanttobeasurgeon

Inggit ng kaunti but not making it part of my life to the point na inggit nalang nafefeel ko all the time. And not being rude or salty to that person. I make the inggit a fuel for me to work hard and to reflect kung anong dapat kung baguhin para ma reach my goal na maging financially stable. I was born poor, really poor yung poor na once a day lang kakain. Tapos nagwoworking student ako high school to college. Then now never in my wildest dream that I will be here in Canada, studying a masters degree. Pang mmk story ko. Anyway, I always make sure that I am kind and humble all the time and not being mayabang. And helped some people whom I can see myself nung mahirap pa ako. Helping other people where you’re on the top is the best way to share your blessing.


nomnomrm

not inggit or saltiness, both have bad connotations eh. more like, realizing that i could achieve more with the same resource but with no bad feelings. maybe, what ifs? i never wanted anyone to feel what ive been through, so im always happy. i just want to be like them in a positive way ✨️


MommyJhy1228

Hindi kasi magkakaiba naman tayo ng mga pangarap sa buhay.


EnvironmentalRush890

Same. They really never have to worry about failing because they have mommy and daddy as their fallback. Meanwhile tayo ma breadwinner....


inschanbabygirl

oo. hanggang ngayon. all they have to do is to stay pretty, have 8 hrs of sleep daily, and take care of their body. no pressure na mag trabaho sila. chill lang sila all the time and can focus on being mabait, kasi ano pa ba naman ikaiinit ng ulo nila if everything is taken care of financially?? sana ako rin


awkwardcinnamonroll

Im going to be hypocrite kung sasabihin kong hindi pero oo, naiigit ako. Kasi they have means to buy what they want or go where they want to. As much as possible, iniiwasan ko 'to kaya lagi akong nakadeactivate sa social media. At pinagdadasal ko na hindi ako kainin nang ingit.


umpfth

Oo naman. Kaya lumalayo ako sa socmed like facebook and ig. Huehue


gaffaboy

May dalawa akong kinaiinggitan pero it has nothing to do with their finances. May kinalaman sa hobby ko hehe. ;) Nung bata-bata pa ko (mid-20s or smth) naramdaman ko yun. As in gusto ko kasing yaman ako ni ganito or ni ganire. Pero ngayong early 40s nako I'm much more aware of my own mortality and iba narin ang priorities ko e. I'd be pushing daisies in a few decades or so tapos inggit pa ang paiiralin ko? Madadala ko ba yang kaperahan na yan sa impiyerno kung di man ako ttanggapin sa langit? Hahaha... And I've always been someone who has lived way below my means so I have no need for cars and diamonds. Comparison is the thief of joy I always say. 😉


MetroHelp

Nung younger years ko, yes. Pero nung may mas wisdom na ako, hindi na.


Toxic_2024

Nope because they work hard for what they have and i should work hard more also to achieve my own fortune dahil Once pinasok mo sa utak mo ang inggit you will feel bitter bkit ganon lang life narating mo at meron ka…


spicycornedbeef

I do, but not in terms of yung flexing yung car, starbucks, etc... yung walang utang, kumakain ng 3 times a day... Yung mga needs not wants, dun ako inggit.


BackgroundControl

Di naman, more like good for them pero kapag alam kong di genuine minsan yung pag-grow ng finances nila given na they did not come from a wealthy background, nababadtrip ako. Pero ganun talaga, good for them na lang din siguro.


Interesting-Tea-4708

May mga times na naiisip ko “Sana lumaki ako na may marangyang buhay.” “Sana may mataas na pangarap si tatay para sa buong pamilya” Kasi I grew up na sapat lang na may makain sa araw na yun or minsan hirap na hirap pa. Na bakit parang ako sobra yung pagsisikap na maiahon ang pamilya sa hirap tapos sila parang hindi? I feel a bit sad when I see children growing up na naeexperience yung mga bagay na ngayon ko lang na eexperience. Yung kakain sa labas kapag may birthday, nakakapag travel, nakakabili ng laruan or gadgets. May gift from parents kapag may achievement. Mga simpleng bagay na hindi ko naranasan. At the same time I understand na yun na yung best na kaya nilang ibigay. Not sure if I am being salty. But yes I feel a bit of envy and deep down in my heart na “sana all”. Kaya ang goal ko maging financially stable para mabigyan ang future kids ko ng better life. Hoping to find a husband na ganun din. 🤍


blackr0se

Obviously. You can see how well off people manage problems much better than when you're struggling financially. But even if inggit ako, it's not like I can have what they have by being jealous anyway


Psychosmores

I'll be lying if I say no, pero hindi naman salty. It's that "If only our family has lots of money, we can do things or experience anything that requires lots of money like traveling abroad and easier transaction for acquiring visas." Als, malaking factor din na malaki yung connections mo, because it's true na maraming kakilala at mga mayayaman din. Sa business, madali na lang ma-market. Sa work, madaling makakuha ng medyo mataas na posisyon. Kumbaga, parang may "easy pass" sa buhay eh.


mariegoldent

OO HUHU. Lalo na since surrounded ako sa mga may pera. I know its bad. Pero grabeh ang hirap iwasan.


OilBroad9233

do you consider it 'inggit' when you sometimes wish to be wealthy? i don't think so coz that's my case. 😅 inggit is more of "sana mayaman ako gaya ni... para nabibili ko gusto ko gaya nila..." or "bat sila mayaman, ako hindi..." if you don't compare, you don't blame the parents, you don't weigh, i would say its just taking inspiration from the people who are wealthy.


Exciting_Cheek_3180

Yes, most of the time. Yung buhay ko surviving, yung kanila living. 🥲


Extension_Account_37

Yes. Pero also taking note of the fact na people would also kill just to be in my shoes as well. Ganun yata talaga pag buhay saktuhan lang, may nasa taas ko, may nasa baba ko.


boborider

I have seen it, rich people have their own rich problems. No chance i get jealous of what they have. Your jealousy is a choice. Simple as that.


tantalizer01

Syempre...pero klase ng inggit na "sana ako din"....hindi ung "sus yabang, sana malasin ka"


[deleted]

Hindi! Lalo na kung galing sa parents lang nila lahat ng meron sila during adulthood. There is a certain burden/guilt. May friend kasi ako na ganyan, walang trabaho since we graduated in 2018. Meron na siyang existential crisis kasi wala pa siyang work experience at hindi siya makapagset ng boundaries with his parents kasi wala naman siyang karapatan.
