Lady netizen traumatized by ‘musta na?’
MUSTA NA? – A female netizen recently shared on Facebook why she felt upset about the simple greeting.
At first, her friend asked how she was, and Racquel said she was fine. But then, her friend surprised her by asking to borrow ₱2,000, promising to pay it back by the end of the month.
Racquel couldn’t lend the money because she had her own expenses for school and home. Her friend kept questioning her, bringing up Racquel’s recent visit to Starbucks and her frequent travels. Racquel explained that the Starbucks treat was from a co-worker, and she travels within her budget and free time for relaxation. Despite explaining, her friend insisted Racquel should lend the same amount she spends on travel.
Things got worse when the friend called Racquel greedy for not agreeing to lend money. This unexpected accusation made Racquel feel disappointed and uncomfortable about the simple greeting “Musta na?”
Here’s the entire conversation in Hiligaynon:
Her post went viral, garnering mixed reactions from netizens. Some said that her experience was somewhat relatable. Others gave her a piece of advice for the next time someone messaged her with “musta na?”
Meanwhile, when it comes to borrowing money, do it responsibly. Assess your needs and only borrow for essential things. Make a budget that can handle the loan without causing financial stress. Look into different lending options, understand the terms, and choose the type of loan that fits your needs while keeping a good credit history.
If you face challenges repaying, talk to the lender. Borrow only for important matters, avoid unnecessary expenses, and have an emergency fund to avoid unexpected borrowing. Practice good financial habits and make a clear repayment plan aligned with your financial goals. Responsible borrowing leads to smart financial decisions.
