S1E55 - Should You Send Remittances Right Away or Save First?

from The Catholic Why · host Pinoy OFW

Every payday, OFWs face a familiar dilemma — should you send money home right away or keep some for savings first? In this episode, we unpack the emotional and financial tug-of-war behind remittances. We’ll discuss how cultural expectations, guilt, and family pressure often lead Filipinos to prioritise sending money over personal savings, and why this can backfire in the long run. Learn how to strike a healthy balance between supporting loved ones and securing your own financial future abroad.
