What to do when you have amassed the "riches" you would like to have?
1.  Travel
It is disheartening to find foreigners, rather than Filipinos,  in our vacation hotspots.  We went to Boracay just a few months and realized this sad idea.  Most Filipinos we saw there are workers: waiters, tour guides, etc.
I myself have been very curious about El Nido, Amanpulo, Dos Palmas but find them extremely expensive to accommodate an average middle income Pinay.
So when I have enough money, I'll surely give these places a try! (or visit them on a regular basis!)

2. To buy my/our own house
I remember seeing this is a top answer in surveys.  One of the priorities of Pinoys is to have their own house and lots.  It maybe is a reason why some condos have been a hit it's because it gives Filipinos a sense of finally acquiring their dream.  Condominiums usually cost cheaper than buying houses in lots.
But since I am in the line of reaching my dream, I might as well state what I want in my/our own house.
2.a  It has to be near my/our place of work (I don't like the thought of being on the road most of the time! With the Metro Manila Traffic?!)
2.b  It has to have a swimming pool.
We finally inflated our "swimming" pool at home and I found it actually very...therapeutic.
It's refreshing to take a dip before going to sleep, especially when it's summer.  Aside from the natural way water cools down the body temperature, it also has a way of calming my emotions.  Maybe because I also stare at the stars and the moon while I'm at it...I don't know.
I also look forward to going there in the early morning.
2.c  Flood-proof
We know about this with our experience with Ondoy!

3. Shop for clothes without considering budget!
Wow! This I know would be my version of heaven!

4.  Help family/parents by augmenting their income
