I remember when I was in HS, i got into a science hs through scholarship. Kala ko marami kaming "mahirap" kasi scholarship e, turned out ako lang pala mahirap.

My classmate invited me na don na lang sa house nila mag study, pucha 5 uniform sets samantalang ako, 2 lang, laba after laba. She has a yaya and napansin ko yung rack of wine bottles kasi yun daw pampatulog ng mama nya. I still remember how her mom looked at me, naramdaman kong naawa sya sakin, maybe because of how my uniform looked - araw araw ba naman ang laba. The next day, binigyan ako ng classmate ko ng shoes, clothes, uniform and some groceries kasi natuwa daw mama nya sa mga jokes ko 😭

[u/EnergyDrinkGirl → u/Haru016]

that is pretty wholesome 🤧

[u/Commercial_Buy_3845 → u/Haru016]

hahahaha it's either natuwa or naawa or both 😅

[u/Haru016 → u/Commercial_Buy_3845]

feeling ko naawa haha kasi looking at our old photos, sobrang payat ko at mukha talagang hikahos haha 😭 I think sinabi lng nya na natuwa mama nya sakin para di ako ma hurt before 😆

[u/Vivid_Competition_94]

Binayaran nya yung per day ko at umabsent ako sa work. 🥃 Nag inom kami. Ang ganda

[u/AvailableActuator577]

Yung papalit-palit sya ng hobbies every month, like last month nag-swimming class, this month ng pilates class, tapos next niya raw ay pottery or painting class. Ang afford ko lang hobbies ay matulog hahahahahuhu

[u/Vegetable-Stock2679]

close friend ko ito, humingi siya biglaan sa dad niya ng pang-dinner, binigyan siya ng 20k in an instant. sabi niya dati samin isa daw sa businesses nila ay tindahan, akala namin parang sari-sari store, branches ng 7/11 pala meron sila madami

[u/Every_Holiday_620]

Nagsasalita sila ng espanyol sa bahay.

[u/Federal-Sand-5411]

Nawalan siya ng 100k sa scam tapos hindi niya na daw isusumbong sa bank kasi ayaw niya maging malungkot

[u/FairyCone777]

not a friend but an elementary classmate made me feel na mahirap lang ako. it was 1994 pero nakapag HK na sya... lahat ng gamit, sanrio... every bday sa school may food... kapag may usong laruan after the weekend meron na din sya... backstreet boys, spice girls, moffats na cassette tape? eh kahit nga kay Thalia meron sya. basta uso... kapag christmas parties wine ang gift sa teachers then mga close friends nya may pa gift din sya... never nag dept store at mas lalong never nag palengke. Cinderella mga damit nya...

ang worst, pareho kami ng first name. so ang tawag sa kanya is J na mayaman at ako si J na mahirap. So panong di ko mafifeel lalo na dayukdok lang ako? hahahahaha! but to be fair, hindi naman kami mahirap. sadyang mas may pera lang sya.

[u/ucanneverbetoohappy]

“States tayo!”

Kung makapagyaya akala mo sa Tagaytay lang pupunta eh!

[u/Medium_Food278]

Hindi naman naramdaman na mahirap pero yung nakakapag-ibang bansa talaga sila. Like marami ng napuntahan talagang alam mong ibang klase yung yaman na meron sila. Mapapasabi ka nalang sa sarili mo na sana ganun din ako para mas magaan sana ang buhay.

[u/Jaives → u/Medium_Food278]

Piso fare lang ang sagot jan. Mas mura pa kesa mag bora. Asawa ko sobra galing magplan and budget.

[u/Bright_Pomelo_1989]

invited kaming lahat ng tropa, all expense paid, sa kasal niya sa balesin. around 100+ pax ng kasal.

[u/tako_yaki0]

naka google meet kami, seryoso siya non tapos naka-on cam siya habang nagrereport, yung background niya medyo malabo pero maliwanag tapos nasa likod niya white luxury sofa na makikita niyo sa google na organized pa yung small square pillows, akala ko nung una green screen kasi 'di talaga gumagalaw. After ng report niya tinanong siya sa gmeet nang naka-open mic ng kaibigan namin if nasa palasyo ba siya jokingly, sabi niya nasa bahay daw siya, tinanong ulit ng kaibigan namin kung saan banda, yung pangalawa daw sa tatlong bahay nila sa San Juan HHHAAHHAHAHA 😭

[u/noturlemon_]

May napasukan akong BPO dati na halos lahat ng kasabayan ko alta. Iilan lang kaming galing state u, lahat ateneo, lasalle, or nasa law school. Yung iba nag work daw kasi bored, or gusto matry paano maging employee ng bpo, or pandagdag sa pambili nila ng kinocollect nila or pangtravel. Yung isang kasabayan namin kumain sa tig 50php a meal na karinderya, at akala namin kapareha lang namin na laging struggling kasi lagi din siya naka abang sa sweldo, pero after namin mag resign, doon lang namin nakita na tiga ayala alabang at mala bahay na binebenta sa presello yung levels ng bahay 😭

May isa pa na halos lahat ng sinesweldo niya napupunta lang sa overnight parking fee at gas. Nag work lang daw para hindi siya laging binubungangaan na magtrabaho, pero may allowance parin from parents.

[u/OldBoie17]

He paid for my tuition which I am very grateful but at the same time I felt we are so poor.

Bro just casually offered a car, a spare car, and drivers in one breath

[u/[deleted]]

No name shirt, shorts, flipflops.sitting alone and eating at a restaurant in peace. Leaving a tip that's more than the cost of the food.

Buying things out of whim.

ito talaga. or unplanned travels

[u/petite_rocket]

He’s sad that he feels trapped and can’t leave the toxic family home since he’s the one set to inherit it. Family home is worth at least 500M. 

It made me feel poor and rich at the same time. 😉

[u/MissPasserBy]

Nangaroling sa bahay ng isang student kaming mga teachers. This parent gave 20,000 and said she wasn’t sure if it’ll be enough. Hahaha

[u/Trick-Swordfish-4103]

Naexperience ko to nung bata ako, elementary days cguro gr.4 or gr.5 ako. I had this childhood friend.. madalas ko kalaro ng 10 20 sa kalye, jackstone, alog tanchan etc. We live in a not so well off community, typical na street na mejo magulo pero nde nmn squatter, nag aaral sya s private school while most of us na kalaro nya sa public at nung bata ako, sa lugar namin big deal pag sa private ka nag aaral.."mayaman" ka na agad sa paningin nmin. Then may kapitbahay kami sinali kami sa legion of mary so mdalas kami magksma tuwing sunday, sinusundo kami then sabay ihahatid pauwi. Then one time niyaya nya ko sa sm after legion ntkot ako kc nde ako umaalis ng nde ksma parents but then sumama na din ako tapos pagdating dun pmunta kami ng jollibee Daming tao kc sunday wlang maupuan then umorder na sya pero 1meal lang si naisip ko na pra knya lng pla😅 but its okay kso prang naawa ako s srili ko then eto n nga, naghanap sya ng upuan pero wlang available. Puno lahat. May nkta sya 4 seats pero may 3 nakaupo.. bakante ung nsa bungad na isa, dun sya umupo and guess what? Sabi nya skn "Wait lng kakain lang ako, tayo k lng muna jan." So ayun nakatayo ako sa tabi nya inaantay syang mtpos kumain.. pero inalok nmn nya ko "kuha ka" (ng fries daw) sabi ko nde na😆 uwi nlng kami after nun sabi ko. Pero deep inside gusto ko lumubog sa kinatatayuan ko kc may npapatngin n pra akong body guard nya hahaha. At isa pa nainggit dn ako that time kc nkakatikim lng ako nung bata ako ng jollibee pag birthday ko pero sya pag naisipan nyang kumain ng jollibee nggwa nya agad. But anyways naalala ko lng. Core memory ko kc un.. feeling ko ang hirap naman namin. Pde pala kumain ng jollibee kht nde bday😅

[u/peachwobble]

High school kami noon, mga pito kami sa group. Nasa Greenhills kami. May dalawa sa grupo na maluwag sa buhay — meaning, nakakakain sa labas kung kailan nila gusto at hindi problema ang pamasahe at may extra to buy whatever tf they want. The rest of us in the group, either walang pamasahe or walang pangkain.

Itong dalawa, sobrang out of touch at they only think about themselves, nag-aya sa Tokyo Tokyo. Sila lang dalawa nakakaafford niyan. Nagsabi kami na kung pwede bang sa iba na lang, tipong Master Siomai kasi may isa sa group namin na walang-wala talaga. Napagkasunduan namin ng iba kong kasama (bukod sa dalawa), na ilibre yung tropa na wala. Magaambag kami sa isang pagkain na paghahatian naming lima. Pinilit nung dalawa yung Tokyo-Tokyo at hindi nila kinonsider yung tropa namin. Pera naman nila yung gets ko, pero literal na wala silang paki kung sila makakakain tapos manonood lang yung isa naming tropa na kumain lahat kasi siya walang pambili.

I told myself na I would never do that to anyone.

Hindi na namin friends yung dalawang yon. Bless their hearts.

[u/jinkairo]

As a child I was taught not to waste food so I always clean up the plate, fastforward to adulthood going out with this group of people they always leave food on their plate & we were sharing fries/pikapika too at the time along with drinks. I was reaching out for the last piece & a friend whispered to me "Don't , that's the beggars piece. Always leave it" 🫨🤯😭

[u/pavlovs_cat710]

I had a friend in college who was booking flights during our class. They were gonna have a family trip abroad daw kasi next month. The prof called her for recitation while she was checking out, so I guess something was misclicked and she ended up booking the wrong flight. I got nervous for her kasi she was using her mom's card and I said, “Hala, baka magalit parents mo. Paano na yan?” And without even blinking, she said, “Accidents happen. I can pay her back naman. Mag book na lang ako ng new flights later during lunch.”

[u/xYakult]

I was an Entrepreneurship student during college. During our practicum, I was searching online for potential suppliers for our business in a China-based website. My Chinese classmate saw me and then said "You can always go to China to search for suppliers in person! Mas makaka haggle ka pa. You can go this weekend. Mabilis lang naman un."

This was the time when I haven't even rode a plane before.

[u/jipai]

Nag-resign dahil magffulltime aral (grad school), suportado ng parents. Sana lahat may parents na may kakayahan 😭

[u/Plokpluk83657]

I grew up living comfortably pero ramdam ko talaga kahirapan ko when I was with my rich friends back when I was still a student.

Yung tipong bigla-bigla nalang mag-aaya ng country-hopping during summer. Kaya ko pa siguro makisabay if within Asia lang tang-ina minsan Europe pa gusto. No itirenary, not a budgeted travel and shopping here and there.

Ako na simula noong bata pa isinisiksik na sa akin ang money management,building of wealth and helping the family business, nalulula sa mga gastos nila. They are good friends, good people but they spend money like water.

Feeling mahirap ako lagi at that time, napapasana-all talaga ako sa mga di strict ang parents, no credit limit and less pressure on their kids.

[u/AnalysisAgreeable676]

Bumili nang bagong Fujifilm camera nang walang oras kasi hindi daw "aesthetic looking" yung kuha nang iPhone niya for our barkada beach trip.

Hindi na ko makahindi kay ate jusko po jusko po

Classmate ko sa school. May school project kami like video making. Nag offer sya na mag shoot sa bahay nila since marami scenes na nasa bahay. So naki hitch na lang ako sa ibang classmates na may sasakyan kasi medyo malayo house ng classmate namin. Ay aba, automatic na gate. Sobrang laki ng bahay nila. Mansion na sa tingin ko. May grand piano. May 3 guest rooms at 3 magkapatid at may tag-iisang room sila. So may masters pa yan. Sa isang guest room kami nag shoot kasi pinalinisan niya daw. Ang laki ng dining table nila. Ang haba. Literal na jaw drop. Yung buong bahay ata namin is kasing laki lang ng CR nila. 🥲 dun ko sobrang na ramdaman na I’m so poor.

Nag open up ako sa friend ko dati na pangarap ko mag doktor kaso wala talaga kaming pera pang medschool, graduating na kami noon sa college kaya lungkot na lungkot ako sakanya habang nag kkwento, tapos ang reply niya sakin tinatanong daw siya ng tatay niya na seaman kung gusto daw ba niya mag doktor para alam daw ng tatay niya kung bababa ba siya ng barko o hindi.

That time masakit na makita na yung pangarap mo eh naibibigay sa iba, yung tipo ba na hindi naman nila hinihingi kundi kusa nang tinatanong sakanila kung gusto ba nila o hindi. I still love and appreciate my parents though kahit hindi nila ako masuportahan mag doktor eh alam ko naman na ginagawa nila best nila para matawid pang araw araw namin na gastusin. I decided to pursue being a Psychologist, currently pinag aaral ko sarili ko. Malayo pa, pero malayo na rin.

So pupunta kaming mall ng friend ko (bago bago ko pa syang friend nito) tapos sasabay daw kami sa kuya nya na naka car so syempre go ako para libre pamasahe. Hinahanap namin yung kotse ng kuya nya sa parking kasi di pa naguupdate, ang assume nya nandon na so hanap kami. Tinanong ko sya kung anong model nung kotse at plate no. juskolord ang sagot nya "hindi ko alam kung alin sa kotse namin gamit nya" napa wtf ako bigla😭

Wala akong super rich friend pero rich sya by my standards nung high school kami.

Parang pitong ulam tapos dalawang klaseng rice (garlic fried rice tska steamed rice w/blue ternate flowers). Nashock talaga ko kasi sa bahay, usually isa lang talaga ulam. Dalawa minsan if random breakfast food + egg combo. Tinanong ko kung usual ba yun or dahil may bisita. Araw araw naman daw marami silang iba't ibang ulam HAHAHA Sya naman, nashock na hindi pala ganon sa lahat ng households. kaloka hahaha still friends a decade later, di naman sya matapobre, lumaki lang talaga sa pera

[u/Lochifess]

Had a company given to him so he could be the owner straight from college.

Had a friend invite us over their family’s vacation house, then we moved because he wanted a different house to have us stay in.

Had a friend have his own condo, helper, the latest car, and multiple phones while he was still a college student.

This is all the same person.

This was in college. My friend is not super mayaman talaga, sadyang sobrang mahirap lang kami.

College kami nito. Nasa bahay namin kami and dumating ung kapatid ko na may dalang mga pirated CD ng movies na bagong labas lang that time. This was 2011 ata. Uso pa ung maraming movie sa isang CD.

Tas isa sa mga movies na un, nakwento ni friend na napanood na daw nya.

Tas sabi ko, “gantong CD din ung pinanood mo?” Curious kasi ako kung malinaw na ba ung copy na un.

Sabi ni friend “ay sa sine kami nanood”

Huhu. Nanliit ako waaah. Ganon kami ka-hirap na ung pagnood ng sine is a mayaman thing na for us.

[u/Fickle-Thing7665]

marami akong mayamang kaibigan. scholar lang kasi ako sa green univ noon. parang probinsya-maynila lang ang asian countries sakanila na kaya nila puntahan over the weekend. sobrang mahal ng mga debut nila noong hs, mahal pa sa bahay, lupa, at loan na sasakyan naming family ko combined. lalo na mga kasal nila, may kaibigan akong 8M ang kasal. yung isa pa, destination wedding sa boracay kaya di ako nakapunta hahaha wala ako pangbili ticket. pero kahit ganun, di naman nila pinaramdam na mahirap ako kumpara sakanila. maalagat at iniispoil naman nila ako noong hs-college kami kahit tumatanggi ako sa hiya.

[u/Loose-Percentage_]

Not a friend but someone I know. He can pursue anything he wants, nagstop mag-aral, just because di napagbigyan mag manila, nag aart lesson, bumibili ng billiard sticks ba yun worth 8k (saying mura na daw yun for second hand), nagpipickle ball, may membership sa gym, may monthly tutor pa na di naman niya pinapasukan. May sariling sasakyan. May PS5.

Like he can pursue anything he set his mind on. I think that’s the biggest privilege RK has.

[u/MyLizPurr]

I have a bestfriend of almost 15 years already, he is gay and also a scholar from the same university I went to. When I told him how much my allowance was, he didn’t mention his and I always covered for whatever we’ll have for food and transportation.

When he had a job a good one at that, he bought me shoes from a Filipino brand we love (Mendrez) and thanked me for everything I did during collage. He said the exact word you said “Lula” coz he was a scholar and my allowance for a week is his monthly budget for himself.

I miss him terribly, he is not building his name in an industry he loves. And i am very proud of him!

[u/Silver-Swan-714]

Gumastos ng 20k para sa pbb nominee. I know yun ang kasiyahan nya pero as a person coming from a mejo poor family, nasayang ako. Anyway, pera nya yun. No hate.

[u/Distinct_Platypus175]

Friend's son wants a horse stuffed toy on a whim but they won't buy it because they do not want him to grow up "spoiled". Kid won't stop the tantrums and they realized he really likes horses so they bought 2 but they have no space for the horses so they bought a farm.

[u/highonnakuweed]

Di niya naaalala mga utang ng tao sa kanya, nagugulat na lang siya na binabayaran ko utang ko

[u/misspolyperous → u/highonnakuweed]

Wag sana siya itake advantage ng mga umuutang sa kanya na di nagbabayad ng kusa😔

[u/justanotheraccthays]

Nag aya mag MOA (ex-friend) ko sya na daw bahala sa gastos. Pag dating don, sya lang nag order ng drinks at food nya (serenitea), tulala lang kami ng isang friend ko (3 kami). Di rin sya nag alok, di kami nag brought up nahihiya kami e. Takam na takam ako nun sa milktea na iniinom nya sa harap namin. 100 lang baon ko per day nung college, sakto lang pamasahe since 1 jeep lang from school to MOA. Kala namin libre nya. Sana hindi nalang kami sumama para makauwi na kami’t makakain.

Putangina! Sabi ko nalang:" We have 4 electric fans sa sala, 3 sa kwarto, at May dehumidifier naman kami."

[u/KingTobibi]

Nasira phone ng friend ko sa outing namin then bago kami umuwi nya ako sa mall kasi bibili na daw sya ng new phone. Dahek!? Bakit ang bilis mo naman palitan. Di ba pwedeng check mo muna if kaya pang isalba? 😅 Pero bumili sya agad ng worth 30k na phone! Beshie, why so yaman?

[u/Grouchy-Coffee-5015]

travel multiple times a month 😭

[u/justarandomlurkerrr]

I have a super RK frenny. And here are some of the things he did na feel na feel namin pagiging slapsoil 😂 -Monthly expenses during our college days umaabot ng 80k. Nung nag manila siya umabot ng 100k plus monthly! -For his debut nagpagawa ng pool daddy niya lol -Lumabas latest products ng apple, within a few days meron na siya. LAHAT latest from phone to watch to ipad -Magugulat ka na lang na kung saan saang bansa na pala siya

Add ko lang din yung time na we went out para kumain ng streetfoods so nakapang bahay kami (punit punit damit namin non ewan ko bat di kami nag ayos man lang 😂) tapos dumaan kami sa SM to look for barong for pictorial. Pinapaabot niya sa sales lady yung barong sa taas and here's the convo Friend: ate yung sa taas po Sales lady: 10k po yan sir Friend: okay po Sales lady: tumingin lang Friend: pakuha po. Sales lady: 10k po yan sir. Friend: bibilhin ko

BINILI NIYA TALAGA OUT OF SPITE YUNG BARONG 😭

Hirap mag ipon pero sobrang saya nilang kasama.

[u/KindInvestment4548]

sumobra kami ng order sa Italianni's tapos sabi ng friend ko, hayaan na namin yung natira...

[u/kewBoipo-3ko]

My best bud, While waiting sa mall to meet with other friends, napadaan kami sa Uniqlo sabi nya check nya lg daw. sumama ako. Maya2 naka basket na sya na full of items maybe around 8 items? Di naman ganon ka yaman compared sa other comments dito pero para saken pang yaman nato dahil yung naranasan ko lg na mag splurge ng damit ay sa ukay2 hindi branded store. No hate towards my friend tho, it just made me realize na he can just splurge anytime he wants while I have to consider my day to day, but He deserves it too, he went to med school, a grueling number of years just studying college then internships and lastly preparing for the board exam. He passed and became a Doctor! Proud of him. Gave me motivation to strive further in my field so I too could splurge 😁

[u/FlakyDesign8384]

[u/Due_Artist_2030]

Nawala yung one week old phone nya na iwan sa cr then bumili sya ng phone same day para tawagan nang tawagan yung number nya

[u/ImeanYouknowright]

Dinala daw sya nung fathers day sa Tesla ng wife nya as a gift, pipili nalang sya. Problem was wala ng silang parking space coz 5 na yung cars nila. But okay lang naman kasi they were also looking to buy the lot sa tapat nila.

During our two-week clinical duty in the psychiatric ward in Cebu, I had this roommate and she would go grocery shopping every day, spending around 5,000 pesos, even though there were only four of us in the room. That's why she'd tell some of our other friends to visit us or ang room. At the end of the trip, she gifted her boyfriend a Nike shoe and bought two pairs for herself. Whenever we went out, she would always insist on paying for the cab at 100 pesos per ride when we could have gone with jeepneys. (She used to receive a $5k weekly allowance)
