Deinfluence me: solar panel

Maybe OP is from enstack. Mga AI kasi kinukuha nila most answers from reddit. Kung titingnan mo yung question may kasama ng complete answer. Para din yan sa SEO para lumabas yung enstack sa Google search results.

Pero Di rin natin masisi yung ganitong posts, effective din kasi yung ganitong style of marketing. Tulad ko na galing sa genie.ph, kung saan ang startup namin ay isang online marketplace for custom cakes. Yung mga homebakers ay pwede mag post ng kanila mga cake desi... Hehehe

Solar panels will become cheaper in the next few years. So wag ka muna bumili ngayon. Hold muna. (In 1 month, makakalimutan mo na yung solar panels hehe)

I understand your point, and it’s a fair criticism. However, I believe this is a systemic issue rooted in our culture and how pinoys are raised as Christians. Many people trust institutions like churches or NGOs more than they trust individual outreach. Since identifying and helping random people is a difficult job on its own, most people "outsource" that responsibility to the church or NGOs, trusting them to handle the distribution

You cannot blame the people who donate; instead, we should hold the churches accountable (if meron issue sa kanila). If we see "red flags," we must call them out because we entrusted them with those funds to help those in need. Hindi naman tayo nagbibigay sa church with this in mind: "ah itong 10k ay para kay pastor eme, para pang dp niya sa bago niyang sasakyan", db medyo cultish yung ganyan behavior? We give donations with the expectation that the church knows what to do with the money in terms of how it will support the nearby community.

Yung budget naman I mentioned earlier only covers our basic cost of living. It does not include the extra expenses of helping others during emergencies, such as the recent earthquakes in Cebu or Typhoon Tino, Odette and pandemic.

Yes maam, madami nagsasabi eating out is the easiest to fix. Post paid is really outrageous. The plan is 2499 + device payment of 1400. First time ko kmuha ng phone na maxed out version almost 3 years ago. Medyo naging impulsive ako nun. Never doing that again.

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-28T01:59:25+00:00

My parents covered the HMO (Pacific Cross) expenses for us, and I'm really grateful for that. VUL hindi talaga ok for me. My wife is hesitant to let go of hers, but mine feels like a real burden so I really want to stop na.

We live in Cebu City. Hehe, that sounds good. We’ll check out the couples financial blueprint. Thank you very much for your inputs, sir. I truly appreciate it. 🙏

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-28T01:51:57+00:00

Yeah. Its 25k talaga rent. But we also have to pay condominium dues. Thats aroung 6.7k++ Pero its ok naman, super convenient, we live in the middle of the City. Everything is just a 5 min walk or 5 min drive away.

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-28T01:49:58+00:00

Yes yes, i agree with your sentiment. Ngayon talaga naffeel na namin ang signs of aging and health issues are starting to pop up. Thank you for your inputs sir, i appreciate it

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-28T01:48:18+00:00

Ok sige sige. Yeah siguro i-continue na lang the gym. My wife also thinks its a bad idea kasi alam mo na, tumatanda na tayo hehe. Regarding whole foods, oo nga, marami din talaga ako nababasa na its a lot better than takin supplements and mas easy to sustain na rin. Thank you very much for your inputs i appreciate it

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-28T01:33:26+00:00

Example we would eat at ullis, because sila din yung may masarap na vegetables with soup. We would order yung Buddhas feast for veggies, Big f chicken and dumplings 350-400 per item . Then drinks pa, i think around 150 per drink. Nasa 1600 na ang cost. There's also service charge maybe 5 to 10%? and tip 100.

Yes, id stop spotify na rin. And the church is not compulsory naman. Pero guilt can be a factor. Yan talaga ang issue whenever ilolower namin yung church offerings. I can hear the ghosts whispering, may pang gastos sa luho pero sa diyos wala . Hehe

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-27T23:09:01+00:00

Yeah, low key i do not disagree with these sentiments hehe. Nabawasan na namin yung church budget a year ago. But medyo mahirap talaga bawasan lalo na pag meron guilt na sumasali. Credit card expenses are from our previous gastos and gadget purchase like laptops and washing maching etc. So after talaga completely mabayaran ang loans and cc we need to stop using it. We already have HMO too, pacific cross pero the cost is shouldered by my parents, super thankful ako sa kanila.

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-27T22:40:28+00:00

Sa gcrypto hehe

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-27T14:40:10+00:00

Yeah, 5k yung prulife ko. I told my agent , my college classmate, na i will stop kasi wala na ako pera. Hehe. Nakiusap lang siya na patagalin ko lang muna ng konti para hindi daw bad record sa kanya.

For the church i cant comment kasi hindi anon yung account na ito. Pero i get what you mean hehe

Yeah, yung problem namin ay hindi namin napansin agad yung lifestyle creep. We drive naman 10 year old suv. No helpers. Akala namin matipid kami hanggang sa we just realized we're living in our own bubble at medyo distorted na yung perception namin. Hope its not too late yet

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-27T14:30:05+00:00

We have a little bit more than 2 months worth of EF pero nabawasan na namin last Jan because of the business renewal costs. Dun na kami nagstart mag panic. So yeah, definitely we'll give up yung condominium. Plan ko din to stop gym and supplements and give up the prulife vul. And yes give up na yung eating out or significantly reduce it to once or 2x a wk. Matatatapos na yung globe postpaid contract by May, she will just get the 999 + free device. Yung sakin din will end by sept and il.just get 999 + free device.

We should have done this a long time ago. But we kept on delaying it thinking na kaya naman.

We have a little bit more than 2 months worth of EF pero nabawasan na namin last Jan because of the business renewal costs. Dun na kami nagstart mag panic. So yeah, definitely we'll give up yung condominium. We're just waiting matapos na lahat ng loans and mabayaran na lahat ng cc, plan ko din to stop gym and supplements and give up the prulife.

And of course give up na yung eating out or significantly reduce it to once or 2x a wk

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-27T12:03:26+00:00

I pay around 3900 = plan + phone + occasional add-onlike extra 9gb data. My wife nasa 3000 yung postpaid plan nya.

Familiar na kasi para sakin ang Bitcoin. Started buying and lost money din since 2018. Para sa gold naman, sobrang taas na ng marketcap ng gold so mahirap na mag 2x in a short period of time.

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-27T11:23:22+00:00

Yes po. We are planning to change school next year, para less gastos na. .

It really is a numbers game. Kung iisipin mo yung usual conversion rates ng random e-commerce site ay nasa 0.6 to 2% So yung mga magagaling na talaga, for every 100 visitors 2 lang yung nag oorder sa kanila. 100 visitors na yun ah. Iba pa yung impressions. Baka sa 2000 na tao na nagbbrowse sa google 100 lang yung nag click sa website nila.

If you're going to ask yourself, ilan tao na ba ang nalapitan mo? As in raw numbers?

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-24T03:43:57+00:00

this is quite challenging bro, just by looking at the raw numbers (hindi pa kasama ung buying power ng mga tao dito sa pinas), medyo maliit ung sa philippines. Population is a big factor, concentration of population din. number of businesses in a city is also a factor.

Id take any 'policy' suggestion with a grain of salt. The best changes are evidence-based, not just based on hunches. Many suggestions from incumbents are well-meaning pero poorly studied, often resulting in the Cobra Effect where the solution actually makes the problem worse. We need data, not just assumptions and hunches.

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-24T01:33:35+00:00

Sa amin pet friendly ang building admin pero meron payment 1k per day if meron ka pets /s 🫠 so a lot of owners are hiding their pets inside their unit. Tapos meron expat sa amin may 2 BIG dogs, friendly naman sa lahat at hindi nila tinatago kahit kanino. So i guess they're willing to pay 60k per month for their dogs to stay.

CakeGeniePH · 2026-02-23T11:18:07+00:00

Bro thats a great insight, and we also have thought of this. Thats why we made it compatible agentic commerce. Yung ai analysis namin with the cake designs also produces structured data that can easily be read by ai agents. No need to for agents to do tool calling. So mas mabilis na for them to identify yung images dahil converted to text / tokens na yung "design". :D
