From phones to clothes to cars, price tags shine loud. But when the glitter fades, what’s left worth holding on to?
We chase things.
Phones, watches, cars, clothes, cakes, beds…
We always think: the more expensive, the better.
But life has a way of humbling us.
Because the truth is:
More costly doesn’t always mean more valuable.
A ₱3,300 phone and a ₱141,000 phone can both stay silent when no one calls.
A ₱1,600 watch and a ₱300,000 watch? Same time.
A ₱455,000 car and a ₱33.5M luxury car? Same traffic, same road.
A ₱1,200 mattress and an ₱86,000 bed? Useless if you still can’t sleep.
A ₱200 cake and a ₱25,000 cake can both taste empty if there’s no joy in the celebration.
A ₱2,000 camera and an ₱80,000 camera make no difference when there’s no moment worth capturing.
A ₱300 book and a ₱5,000 book? The same if you never read or understood it.
A ₱200 pair of sneakers and a ₱20,000 pair can both protect your feet just the same.
A ₱100 shirt and an ₱8,000 branded shirt both cover the same nakedness.
You get the point.
There’s a limit to what money can give.
And beyond that, what matters is rarely found in receipts.
So before you chase the next big thing, pause.
Ask yourself:
Do I really need this?
Or is it just a prettier version of the same emptiness?
When the glitter fades,
it’s not about how much it costs.
It’s about how much it means.
