This is a picture of a truck with a lift, big tires and rims.

It's not terribly interesting to many people but it means something very specific to me. That there are enough people here in the Philippines that can spend money on these types of trucks that have very limited practical use. It's a fun truck. Or a show off truck.

That's an indicator to me. The tires and rims are expensive and the resale is not great.

This is a sign that there is disposable income that's being spent on things that people here want, not need. Instead of cash going into the bank people are spending money here at Jeff's.

IMO there's far too much cash being saved for the sake of saving.

This is one example of people doing things they like to do with their money. This has not been a trend here in the Philippines.
