When I go to buy something in Philippines I convert the price to U. S. dollars and start thinking how much I am spending from Amercian mindset not filipino. The problem with this is that I don't get a real understanding of the cost from Filipino mindset. Example being I would tip someone in the U. S. $5.00 to valet my car. That is average tip. But in Philippines $5.00 is p-44 x$5.00=p 220. In Philippines to Filipino 220 peso would be a lot I think to do valet. Compared to U.S. which is average tip. How do I get the mindset to think like Filipino when it comes to operating with Peso and economy of the Philippines in mind not U.S. A. ? This way I manage my money correctly from mindset of Country I am in the Philippines. Hope you understand what I am asking.
