In the Philippines, are videokes, gimmicking, dunkin donuts, etc. the reason for poverty?

Question

How can people save when they invest money in videokes, gimmicking, fastfoods like dunkin donuts, etc. And the school uniforms, even the public schools, are so expensive.

Answer 1

erm...the cost of a Dunkin Donut gets distributed to its workers, its suppliers and its owners. As they are all local the money stays in the Philippines. Only a small faction goes overseas as a commission fee to the licencer.

Answer 2

Prob.not there's just too many ppl and few opportunities. It's hard to save when Dunkin Donut's BABARIAN flavor is soooo good.
