My post on the expense I incurred in connection with my credit card reminded me of a joke on the spending habit of Ilonggos (from Panay), Negrenses, and Cebuanos.
Cebuanos spend today what they earned yesterday.
Ilonggos spend today what they earned today.
Negrenses spend today what they will earn tomorrow.
I think there’s a little truth on this based on what I have observed, generally speaking. A credit card agent once told me that he has a lot of clients here in Negros Occidenatal than in Iloilo. Ilonggos from Panay are wary of incurring debt so they’re hesitant to apply for a credit card. As for the Cebuanos, well you can see how entrepreneurial they are so it somehow follow that they are wise spenders. I am now acting like a Negrense haciendera by the frequency of my credit card use when in fact I am just a lowly sakada. Arghh!

Yeah, I’m aware of that also but self-control is really hard. This December, I’ve actually shunned going to the malls to avoid the temptation to spend.
