WHY INDONESIAN NOT REALLY INTO MONEY?! 😊😆

In my journey travel across INDONESIA, I ever met one of my foreigner friends who already live in Indonesia for the past 9 months. He said during his stays, he has seen lots of Indonesian local people are not really into money, not count anything with number, why is that so? 

I'm smiling hearing that kinds of feedback. but I'm grateful finally there's foreigner aware of that natural character of Indonesian. 

Indonesia is very rich of "everything", natural resources, human resources. culture and heritages, include WARM, WELCOME and KIND PEOPLE. If you lost in Indonesia, you will surely get help wholeheartedly.

Those are the strength and the weakness of Indonesian, as sometimes there's mean and sly people who only take advantages of our sincerity, kindness, faithfulness. "EXPLOIT" as many as possible! WHICH ALWAYS MAKE ME ANGRY?!!

I'll discuss about this particular topic later in other discussion. 

Now, let's answer what my foreigner friend questions.

Well, it depends on the people itself. There are good and bad people. There are ppl who care cuz they sincere really care, there are ppl who care cuz they only curious to know how far you go but don't really wants to help. 

for kind people.

FAITH

Because we have faith (no matter what religion are), but we believe about there's a greater power than ourselves who rules our life, there's life after death, we believe everything in this world is temporarily, and we must save the good deeds as much as possible in this world, with helping people, serving others so after we died, we can live happily and peacefully in heaven. So we put money way from the first level of our life hierarchy of needs.

ENOUGH AND ACCEPTANCE

The nature of Indonesian is have deep and great understanding about ENOUGH and ACCEPTANCE/SURRENDER. They are not materialistic and greedy.

ABUNDANCE NATURAL RESOURCES

Indonesia land is very rich of minerals, tropical country who sits in khatulistiwa lines which makes everythings planted in our land can grow easily, greatly with great flavours!

So as long as you are willing to grow your own food at farm, from farm to table, you won't get hunger!

for bad people.

Money is everything, they put money in the first level of their life hierarchy of needs. they will do everything anything for the sake of money, exploit everyone and getting advantages as much as possible for anyone they meet to gain benefit for themselves.
