Why Shuvee Etrata Isn't Interested in Luxury Purchases

Ever since her exit from Pinoy Big Brother, Shuvee Etrata’s name was put on the map, fetching her a string of brand endorsements. But even as her bank account gains heft, Shuvee is careful about how she spends her money.

The rising Kapuso star has been sharing about her financial ventures recently during press cons for Vivienne Vanity Lounge and Femme, both of which she’s recently been crowned as the brand ambassador for.

These days, her investments go to land procurement. In fact, she recently bought two properties in Cebu and South Cotabato where houses for her siblings and her family are currently being built. "That's a prio po talaga so yun yung…pinakaunang endorsement na magbabayad, dun agad siya mapupunta."

A few weeks later, the actress once again spoke about the importance of handling money smartly during interviews for the hygiene brand Femme. Her biggest advice to fans is to “be practical on your finances.” She elaborated that she keeps this mindset so she can ensure a secure future for herself, before also doubling down on the conviction that you don’t need to buy expensive things.

“If it makes you happy, then go for it. But I am after practicality. With the younger generations, I just want to share that it is really important to be practical with your decisions,” said Shuvee. “Being practical is not only in finances, but also in your decisions in life. Think 10 times, a thousand even, before you actually decide on something.”

With this, Shuvee warned against falling under the influence of social media where people are driven to feel like they need to get the next “It” thing their favorite influencer has. “It’s your choice that is going to make the difference,” she said, encouraging fans to love themselves and to be more independent.
