Gloria Diaz is proud to say that luxury shopping isn't her jam.
The Miss Universe 1969 titleholder owes her practicality to her mom, who taught her not to glorify luxury items.
"She's not impressed with name brands. You buy what you can afford. You buy what you like. Instant gratification cannot relate to me," the beauty queen actress said during her interview with Boy Abunda.
Gloria's daughter, Isabelle Daza also revealed how *intentional* her mom is when it comes to shopping.
"We are at the store, window-shopping. We'd go to the store, and then she'd say, "Sige, pag-isipan ko muna, ire-reserve ko 'yan," Isabelle started narrating. "One time I was there with my friends, sabi nila, "Ma'am ang dami pong na-reserve ni mommy mo. I was like, oh my god."
Isabelle somehow applauds her mother's thorough discipline when it comes to purchasing stuff.
"That's how she is. Before she buys something, she really thinks about it because she owns how difficult it is to earn that money," she stated.
Admittedly, Gloria *tried* to be more carefree when it comes to shopping. She said that she might have changed a little bit and learned the YOLO lifestyle, a.k.a you-only-live-once mindset.
"Now naman, I've changed a little. I always say, YOLO. I'm 72... I better buy it," Gloria remarked.

Gloria Diaz on teaching Isabelle Daza how to handle money
Isabelle was also asked about what her mother had instilled in her growing up. For the celebrity, Gloria taught her to value her relationships, her education, and her family. Moreover, Isabelle noted that her mother made sure that she knew the importance of saving money instead of earning money.
"My mother has shaped me into being somebody who values relationships, education, and traveling with kids, teaching them about that... Also, understanding that it's not about how much money you make, but how much you're able to save," Isabelle explained.
Her statement gained an instant nod from Gloria who exclaimed, "Yes! That's the number one thing," referring to Isabelle's last sentence about the importance of saving up.
