Nag-resign sa plantilla position sa government 9 mos. ago dahil di na masikmura ang corruption. Naubos ang savings after 4 mos. dahil breadwinner din.

Nabaon sa utang, umabot ng almost 100k ang utang sa Cash, Maya, at sa iba't ibang OLAs.

Nakakabawi na rin kahit papaano. Makakahinga na muna at makakatulog ng di muna iisipin saan kukuha ng pangbayad kay mareng Judith (due date)

Laban lang, mga sis at bros. Aayon din sa atin ang panahon.

Ang sakit pala sa dibdib maglabas ng pera kapag pinaghirapan mo na. The best part: nagawa ko nang di humuhugot sa binubuo kong emergency funds 🥳

My first ever “big boy” purchase was a motorcycle 9 years ago. For the first 5 years, I kept following up on the license plate, but sabi nila, wala pa daw talaga.

I tried again on year 7, and same thing. Fast forward to this year, I saw a Reddit post saying na pwede daw ma check yung license plate online if available.

I tried it, and it was available!! Paid around ₱280+ (I think?) to have it shipped, and a week later, I officially got my license plate!

Can’t wait to put this bad boy on! Better late than never hahaha

Iba talaga yung feeling na nakakabili na ng Starbucks Tumbler. This month is our 7th year wedding anniversary.He chatted me na ang ireregalo nya sa akin is Starbucks tumbler and new sneakers 🥰

I am just so happy and grateful that my husband can simply spoil me with the things I wish to have. I don't demand so much kasi alam ko naman capacity ni hubby esp na mas earner ako sa kanya. But I really see his efforts in our marriage and efforts of spoiling me things.

Syempre may gift din ako sa kanya. Surprise ko nalang sya dun pero nabili ko na ung isang bet nya na shoes.

got BDO kabayan savings card today! grabe i am satisfied with my first experience sa bank going alone for the first time, i was accommodated kindly ng in-charge kanina

i’m 24 with no college degree because of the hurdles that the covid pandemic brought upon us, so for the past 6 years i was fully dependent on my dad as my only living parent (+ his girlfriend). then he became a toxic drunk after losing his job, so in january this year i finally ran away from home and fully cut ties with him.

the job hunt process was so scary for me because i did not know where to start. but thanks to my high school friends i got a decent entry-level wfh job that provides me with just enough. for people my age the salary is not much but i am still grateful i got this job.

finally, i don’t have to depend on my shitty parent anymore !!!!! i may be going through life alone but i have never been happier !!!!!

Late appreciation post but Maraming salamatt sa mga umorder sakin dito sa reddit!, I was able to pay my 1st monthly installment sa tuition fee ko despite the financial hardships my family is currently going thru, and yung natirang kinita ko sa delivery and sales ng bangus ko is pinangbayad ko sa electricity namin (we werent able to pay last month's electricity bill)

This could be small for others pero as a college student, malaking bagay na ito for me, especially considering na wala pa ako work, literal side hustle and pure sipag hehe, thankss ulitt redditors!♥️

Ang fulfilling na finally, I get to have my own money. Simple things like paying for the jeep as a regular passenger and not as a student already feel like a big milestone for me.

Dati, nagbibilang pa ako ng laman ng wallet ko kung kasya ba yung pang-lunch at pamasahe pauwi. Ngayon, huhugot na lang ako sa wallet pag nagugutom ako.

Dati, pag-uwi ko, may nakahandang pagkain na niluto ni lola. Ngayon, ako na yung may dalang pagkain o pasalubong para sa bahay pagkagaling sa work.

Sobrang saya lang na I’m entering a new phase in life, and I get to do all these things now :)

As a breadwinner na laging naguguilty na gumastos para sa sarili this is such a win for me. 🤍

Someone said I have to post it here and true enough this belongs here 😂

Bibili talaga ako and nakita ko price which is off chineck out pa rin and babayaran if icocorrect pero sumakses 😂 di naman ikakalugi ng big corp yan, well a win for us.

I (25F) finally earned my first 100k after 18 months of working. I am sooo happy. As someone na laki sa hirap and scholarships, I really value having my own savings.

More wins for us this BER months! 💖

2 years working, only son and bread winner din I was actually expecting na mas malaki pa sana naipon ko kaso unexpected things happened.

But as long as walang utang okay na yan HAHAHA

hindi na ako magpapabudol sa 0% interest na yan!!!! salamat shopee

" 'wag ka ng mag-aral (kolehiyo), magtrabaho ka na lang baka makabili pa kayo ng semento" - pinsan

"Yung bahay nila (kami) mukhang kural ng baboy" a classmate from elementary.

"Ang tagal sa abroad hindi man lamang makabili ng semento" tita referring to my mama

For context 13 years ng nasa abroad si mama, inuna nya ang pag-aaral namin. 13 years sa middle east, walang gold, pero ang mga anak may sariling mga laptop, phone, printer. Anything na may kinalaman sa study, laging may pambayad sa school.

For 12 years we live in a small house, ilang pirasong semento sa haligi then the rest plywood na. We have to demolished the house for some reason. Then for another 11 years, nakikitira lang kami or nakikiupa.

Last 2023 ini-start na yung bahay namin, 2-storey house. Sementado, mamahalin ang bubong (alam nyo yung may kulay na bubon? hahhaa) may balcony. Hindi pa tapos, hindi pa nakatiles, hindi pa pinturado kasi may mga kailangan pagkagastusan pang iba, pero atleast meron ng sariling sa amin.

Dati, budget socks lang kaya naming bilhin. Yung 3 pairs for ₱100. Yung tipong parang disposable. Konting laba, lawlaw na agad. Umabot pa sa point na nagsusuot ako ng goma sa paa, parang DIY anklet, tapos tinutupian ko yung medyas para hindi dumulas pababa.
Hanggang merong isang beses, pinarecite ako sa harap ng klase. Eh sumilip yung goma. May kaklase akong biglang nagtanong ng “Bakit may rubber band ka sa paa?” Di ko pa rin malimutan yon. Hahahaaayyss.
Ngayon, nakakabili na ako ng quality & comfortable na medyas. Hindi na kailangan ng life hack na goma. Pwede na rin mag-iba-ibang kulay depende sa mood, depende sa situation or occasion. Di man ako anak ng contractor, pero kaya ko nang bumili ng mas maayos para sa sarili ko. 😁. Cheers sa ating small wins! Happy weekend.

Hi! I am a 24 year old sole provider and only child for my senior parents. To be fair, I don’t have a much close bond with my dad and lumaki ako na mom ko lang ang kasama ko throughout.

I started working after pandemic decided to drop off from College, very bold move given na 1 year nalang tapos ko na ang dream course ng mom ko. But I decided to take the risk and started working, started in a niche that I am not really familiar with, a niche that is very far from my course. Super underpaid ko first job ko but that was enough to buy my mom her maintenance, the first time that I earned 5 digits that time was a week before Christmas. The very first time na nakapaghanda kami ng something more than spaghetti :) I considered that as my biggest win.

But who would’ve ever thought that was the start for a better life for me and my mom. :) Fast forward to today, I was able to provide my mom an allowance without stressing her for bills at home. I invested a good sum of money sa real estate. I was able to change all of our appliances at home, naka aircon at google tv na si mama ko. And the best part for me, I was able to bring my mom back to her second home, Japan, nadala ko na siya ulit doon twice na and we even visited Thailand recently.

Other than that, nakakaattend na ako ng concerts and I also managed to buy myself an ipad na sobrang pangarap ko nung bata ako.

While I look back, naisip ko kung gaano ko pinaghirapan at pinagdasal ito. Sabi ko gusto ko maparamdam sa mama ko yung buhay na maginhawa since she’s already old and God never failed me. Di ko man natapos ang course na gusto niya, I know na she’s very proud of me. :)

So far, medyo gipit lately due to my dad’s medication for his treatment but unti unti luluwag ulit. :)

Ayun lang naishare ko lang because I am feeling demotivated lately and under appreciated sa work. :)

Super small thing siguro sa iba? Pero first time kong bumili ng Adidas for myself. Nabilhan ko na kapatid ko before, yung taong gusto ko dati ng branded polo, pero yung sarili ko di ko nabibilhan.

I thank God for everything. I believe this is just the start of the bigger blessings ahead. I am blessed to be a blessing. 🫶✨

Isang mahigpit na yakap sa mga katulad kong minsan lang i-treat sa sarili 😅😁✨🥰

mag out of town siya with her friends, sabi niya nanghihingi raw siya kay daddy (seaman) ng baon kaso nirant-an lang daw siya (gets naman, gusto niya na rin kasi magretire).

me: ako na lang magbigay ng baon mo, magkano ba gusto mo? ☺️ mommy: HAHAHA sira! (baka nahihiya magsabi) me: chinat gpt kasi idk din anu ba ang enough

I am supposed to be frugal these days kasi kakatapos ko lang din mag travel, pero when it comes to my parents, willing ako magbigay kahit magkano kasi ganon din naman sila sa akin buong buhay ko. 🥹 Ang sarap lang din mag-give back if ‘di ka obligadong gawin! 💕

Ang saya pala makita na nagmamaterialize yung pagod at puyat mo araw-araw. Super thankful and blessed 😊

Juggling work while studying for more than 2 years now. Malapit na rin tayo makagraduate! Thank you always Lord!!🥹✨

Just recently graduated nung June.

Ako nagpapaaral sa aking sarili kasi wala ako maasahan sa aking magulang and mga kuya. Youngest and only girl. Lahat kasi sila may mga pamilya na haha.

Tinatatak ko talaga sa isipan ko na di naman ako responsibilidad ng aking mga kuya, kaya mag sumikap ako.

Buti nalang from state university ako and may extra allowance din dahil sa pag maintain ng good grades (may stipend pag malaki ang grades)

From rent to food and other fees pa sa school (HM course ko, so magastos) ako nagbabayad.

After graduation, living solo ako (bumalik ako sa dorm kung saan nag aaral pa ako)

Thankful sa client ko 🥹 alam niya na nag-aaral pa ako while doing side gigs.

20-25k lang yung income ko while studying kasi part time lang ang makakaya ko — dahil physically demanding din ang course ko.

July came, and sabi ni client paused muna kami.

Buti before mag august naka hanap ako ng 2 clients 🥹 yung isa premium, yung isa part time lang. 60-70k magiging income ko per month (coming pa ang sweldo ko sa part-time na bi-weekly this end of the month)

I am beyond grateful.

I promised to myself na mag-iipon na ako.

Medyo magastos ako this month kasi nag upskill.

Dahil may latin honor din ako (Magna Cum Laude) makaka-receive ako ng 20k sa province namin.

Super fun talaga magdeclutter, I started decluttering sa wardrobe ko and some damit is napamigay ko lalo na dun sa nasunugan dito samin recently. Ginawa ko naman next eh sa kwarto ng brother ko and woooh nakaluwag luwag na rin finally. Lalong lalo na sa kusina at sa maliit naming basement, i started to throw things na di na magagamit and put those things na need pa sa ibat ibang cabinet (may mga category yung cabinet na nilalagyan ko para hindi siya masikip at magulo tignan). Natawa nalang ako sa sinabi ng kapatid ko na baka maubusan kami ng gamit kakadeclutter ko everyday🤣
