00:39the absence or lack of money?
00:41Well, money, the stress in money is normal.
00:45That's why if we continue to avoid the need for money,
00:50it can lead to chronic stress.
00:53It's one of the types of stress that is harmful to our health.
00:57Is there a stress that is good for our health?

01:10That's what makes you stronger.

01:37Well, if the lack of money is the problem,
01:41this should be our way to resolve it.
01:45We need to have a consistent flow of income.
01:49It's important to manage it so that the chronic stress won't lead to health problems
01:56such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases,
02:01heart disease, mental health conditions such as depression,
02:04or high levels of anxiety.
02:05If you don't have money and you have bills to pay,
02:08you'll be cut off by the current.
02:09That's really stressful.
02:10Exactly.

02:12Your child is sick.
02:13Your child is hungry.

02:15That's really difficult.
02:16You'll be cut off.
02:17Your landlord will kick you out.
02:18Your house will be taken over.
02:21Rainier, are Filipinos one of the poor or those who have problems
02:25with managing their household finances?
02:27Why is that?
02:28Well, it's typical for Filipinos that our daily life is like a survival mode
02:33where we manage our finances in the short term.
02:37And usually, our decision-making is based on the present
02:42rather than the long-term financial planning.
02:46So that people who have financial worries won't have health risks,
02:51what should they do?
02:54We really need to take care of ourselves.
02:57This is part of asking for help from other people
03:02especially if we want to have financial literacy.
03:05It will also help us to share our feelings with other people
03:09so that we can at least reduce the tension that we feel in our hearts
03:13so that we can have a clear thought
03:15so that we can think of a way to continue living.
03:18And the mental problem is actually a disease.
03:21And there are doctors and professionals who can help.
03:24That's right.
03:25You can't talk to scammers.
03:27Exactly.
03:29Especially if you're scammed.
03:30That's a big problem for me.
03:32It's really stressful.
03:33Right, Rainier?
03:34Yes.
03:35Thank you for sharing with us, Rainier.
03:37It's stressful when you don't have money, right?
03:41But let's all be careful.
03:44And if you overthink,
03:46remember your health.
03:48As long as it's important and timely.
03:51And it's a true story.
03:53We'll see you there, Sugis!
