Many Filipinos fail to save money for several key reasons: they do not earn enough to save, spend money incorrectly, procrastinate and have a "manana" or tomorrow habit when it comes to saving. Only 1 in 10 Filipinos adequately prepare for retirement through savings. Many are also financially illiterate and do not understand concepts like interest rates, loans, investments and how to start saving. It is important to teach children the value of saving from a young age as only 16% of Filipino families own their own homes currently.
