Money Palooza – Episode 2: Utang na Loob – Dealing with Debt
Is utang (debt) holding you back, or is it a bridge to your next big move? In this episode, we dive deep into the Filipino concept of “utang na loob” and how it shapes our money habits, family ties, and even our sense of guilt around borrowing. We’ll break down the difference between healthy and harmful debt, how to talk about utang without drama, and real-world tips for paying off what you owe without sacrificing your peace of mind—or your relationships.
Whether you’re juggling student loans, credit card bills, or that “pautang” from a friend, this episode offers practical advice and relatable stories in a mix of English and Tagalog. Learn how to set boundaries, make smarter borrowing decisions, and finally break free from the cycle of debt. Join us for a real talk that’s as empowering as it is entertaining—because financial freedom starts with understanding what you owe (and why).
