Guys! Do you believe that P50K is a decent income? Tapos it’s above average income. Pero even with that income, you can’t buy a decent home within NCR Plus. The average cost now is at P3-5M. Have you realized how big the gap is between income and living expenses in the Ph? Grabe!
Narealize ko lang na kawawa yung mga mahihirap talaga. They can’t buy or rent a decent home kasi sa living expenses pa lang, sobra sobra na. Ganon na yung mga capitalists maglagay ng profit sa investments nila? I mean i get it dapat nag aappreciate, pero we’re at this point na
Sooooobrang layo na ng gap ng cost ng “basic” na pangangailangan ng tao and income. Grabe.
To add context: Dapat everyone has the capacity to own properties especially if you are earning the minimum wage. May low cost housing kagaya ng kinomment saken along this thread. Kaya lang even ung lowest cost housing, tumaas na din. Now that basic 20sqm house and lot is now for
the 20k-30k monthly income earners na dati kaya pa ng mga nag-e-earn ng <20k. Yung mga 2 storey rowhouse ay now for the 30-50k earners. Pero mind you basic lang to. Like 40sqm or less na FA at tipong general trias or farther. Dati itong range na ito ng H&L is for 20-30k earners
Now yung mga medyo malapit sa Manila, basic townhouse at 50sqm is now at 3-5M pesos. And the monthly amortization of that less 20% equity, is hovering around 18k - 40k for 20 years. Mabigat yun, especially now na super taas ng living expenses due to inflation. Ok lang to if di ka
aalis ng bahay. Like WFH ka lang at wala kang transportation expenses. Kaso hindi eh, if u are living outside manila, magastos ang transport. With the current prices ng goods, ung 30k earners ay parang naging minimum wage earners. Hello 400/kilo na ng pork.
Malalaman and marerealize ng iba to when you guys have properties na. Like ang bili nyo sa isang property, 3.5M. Pero kapag magbabayad ka na ng Real Estate Tax, makikita mo na ang appraised value ng nabili mo is less than 500k. Ganon kalakas manggatas ang mga kapitalista.
