The relationship with money is not simple. Money is precious of course, because most people are still poor, but they don't hesitate to spend what they have whatever amount they have to pay. That is particularly obvious when there are special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, births, T? day or when people honor ancestors.
At the restaurant with your friends, when the bill is presented, individualism is not expected. Everyone wants to pay it and tries to find a good excuse to do so.
Generally speaking, each social event is expensive because paying is the norm et seems to be a factor of social integration.
