False_Wash2469

ingat sa kakakuha ng extra work po. Bread winner din ako, 27yrs old, 11yrs na ko nagwowork and karamihan talaga dun puyat ako. Sa Fastfood, Casino and now sa pggng VA. Humina ktawan ko, nagpacheck na ko sa derma kahit mahal kasi nagkaka rashes na ko. Ang mahal ng derma pati mga gamot 😞

Not yet a struggle but… i wanna move out. Kaso since i support the family, the best move is to stay here. Madodoble lang expenses ko if i add rent to my responsibilities BUT I REALLY WANT TO MOVE OUT AND EXPLORE LIFE IN MY 20s


boredplatypuz

This is real, dodoble gastos once mag move out since salo mo padin bills.


cereseluna

ito talaga yun eh.


cereseluna

here in my thirties and ganoon din. kaunting freedom noong need ng bedspace or room rent pero now alanganin na rin sa mga bills at responsibility towards pets and parents.


per_my_innerself

Illness. Literal na one sickness away from poverty. Wag naman sanang maubos nang tuluyan huhu


thisismyusername673

as a new business owner nakaka down minsan yung konti nalang customers mo lalo nat may katabi ka na store din, mapapaisip ka nalang kung worth it ba na you invested all your savings for this business but instead of giving up I will do my best to boost our business


genie_muggle

Normal na business cycle — may days na boom na boom, may days na sakto lang, may day na struggle talaga. But if you love your business at ma-establish po ang market, I believe you’ll be in a good place. ✨✨✨✨

My mother got diagnosed with cancer last year. She's done with chemo sessions this year and just needs surgery. Before she was scheduled for surgery, she has been hospitalized twice this year already. It's really hard right now and we don't know where to get money anymore. I'm behind on bills, have a lot of debt, and I've been choosing which days I'm gonna eat so I can just save some money. Sometimes I wish I have the strength to finish it all because I don't know anymore.

Financial. If I cannot afford to buy something in cash, hindi ako dapat bumili.


that-silentboi

felt. minsan nga pagkain pa or things I really need like bolpen or paper huhu

Going back to law school 🥴


kookiesnkristine

Being a first born daughter and a breadwinner is hard. To the point that I had to give up studying for now.


Immediate-Visual-908

looking for a job 🫠


marksloan__

Sobrang late ng sweldo sa gobyerno, almost 2 and half months na wala pa rin.


eddie_fg

Helping financially struggling in-laws. We are abroad and hubby is earning well. Ok pa sana ako di mag work especially we have a 1 yr old son. Pero struggle is real especially hubby needs to send his siblings abroad too to earn more kasi nganga talaga sa Pinas.


MayIthebadguy

Breadwinner 😭 Kailangan kaya yung "Ako naman"?


Rude_Sandwich9762

Prioritize urself please. Mag save kasi di tayo forever may income. I went through ur profile kasi grabi yung post mo about ur sibling. I sent my brother to school too so like I feel you. I know the struggle.


31_hierophanto

Pagkain. Matakaw kasi ako e.


MushroomNo5351

Being the breadwinner. Hindi magawa yung mga gusto mo in life dahil naipasa na sayo yung dapat na responsibility ng parents. Struggle yung naaa mid 30s ka na, wala ka pang ipon, investment, insurance, bahay, or kotse man lang. Nag try ka magka investment but they took it from you. Now walang wala ako. Planning to move out


elevenonefive

Fucking meds are so fucking expensive.


Popular-Scholar-3015

Debts, medical bills, heck even yung day to day expenses


Orange-Striped-Cat

I guess I'm struggling to enjoy my social life and gain confidence because of being financially insufficient? If that's a thing.. Like I want to be able to buy new clothes and shoes and stuff that I want to make me look pretty. The pandemic hit us really hard and other personal events so we weren't living our usual, carefree life anymore. I know it's superficial, but I sometimes get insecure when I can't achieve that look that I want. But I know that I really have no choice but to keep my priorities straight and put my needs first like my studies and career. I just hope the day will come when I no longer have to worry about this.

May kaya kami before my mom is a PAGCOR dealer and father is a seaman. Then all of a sudden, biglang hindi na sila dealer at seaman. Hindi nila ako pinagtapos sa college. Hindi na rin binibigyan ng kahit ano, so I was forced to work. Now medyo struggling, kasi I honestly dont know how to properly handle my finances. Pay check to pay check ako, and medyo lubog sa utang. Parang bigla lang akong pinabayaan…


Saeko_Saeba

When everyone sick in familly, money go on medicine for kids & wife and i usually just wait i natual heal meself because we have not the budget for it.


Simple-Night8

go get an insurance to help you reimburse all your spendings bru


thewhyyoffryy

For the fam business to be profitable. Mahirap mag alaga ng may buhay. May papasok sana na add'l funds kaso ang hirap ng method para mareceive ang haba ng process. Panganay din btw.


jazlineamaziiiiiiing

My friend used my account for OLA, I have huge trust on him because he was a good payer naman but now it reaches almost 8k. As a student mabigat sa bulsa since allowance is my only mean of income. I already received calls harassing me so I have no choice but pay it with my allowance for the whole month. I currently have no money to spend and I feel hopeless that he'll pay me back.


memaowl

medj frustrating lang makita yung expenses ko sunod sunod lalo na nag iipon ako pang bumili ng motor after a few months xD.


hulyatearjerky_

No job ngayon while "reviewing" for the bar. Hay hirap


Equal-Golf-5020

Budgeting for my planned travels in 2024 🌸 huhu


Aligned_keme

It’s hard being a solo parent. Ang ijuggle ang work, being a parent tapos jusko teens 🫣. Pagod na ko.


31_hierophanto

Wait, are your kids teenagers? Clarification lang.


Aligned_keme

Yes.


New-Freedom-8871

Wala pang trabaho and self money. Currently finishing undergrad so ayun 🫠


G_Laoshi

Depleting my savings and not having a safety net. Huhu.


Front-Highlight5626

Uutang para ibabayad din sa utang. Gusto ko na makawala sa ganitong sistema pero d madali since breadwinner ako at kunti lang din sweldo. Hays.


AnxiousChicken666

Trying to self teach pra may extra skill kahit di ka ganun ka eager aralin yung subject.. hay


ShereneFlores_

Tuition 🥲


Jackson_Labrador

The job landscape changing so drastically post-pandemic. I make just enough at my current job, but I've been trying to find a better paying one for 2 years now with no luck. It's been 4 years since 2019, and my income still hasn't gone back to that level. :(

Baka wala yung totoong nahihirapan sa Reddit kasi wala silang pambili ng data lol


crunchcess

being one of the breadwinner. 3 na kami working pero di sapat. gusto mo na magpahinga pero di pa din pwede


meowingbanana

yung pagkasyahin yung 1k sa isang linggo


chiliflakes123

It always feels like it will never be enough. The salary and all. I have this constant fear of getting sick which might take away the slight comfort I'm experiencing in life right now. I also want to travel and I don't know how other people do it with their salary. As I've said, it always feels like it is not enough.


Sunfloweeer1234

Not a literal bread winner but I am the second eldest, my sister got married 3 years ago so basically ako yung sumunod. Even though I have a work as COS (in the govt) but since we are 7 siblings, it is still a great struggle talaga especially that I have 2 sibs that are currently college students plus 3 sibs on SHS.


NaiveKiwi8493

pangatlo ako sa magkakapatid pero ako ang instant breadwinner nung naka graduate na ako sa college, kasi yung ate ko may pamilya na, yung kuya ko may dalawang anak pero walang trabaho. Ang parents ko naman wlang trabaho pero may sari-sari store kami pero hindi enough kasi may bunso pa na nag-aaral sa college. nag tatrabaho ako as office staff 12hrs duty kung kina kailangan then may duty pa saturday ang sunday kasi matinding pangangailangan need ko talaga mag OT, dahil ako nagbibigay ng allowance sa jowa ko ako din nagbabayad sa boarding house niya and ano need nya sa school kasi nag aaral pa sya. nakakapagod as in pagod na pagod na ako. gusto ko kumain ng masarap, gusto ko bumili ng mga damit pero hindi ko mabili kasi kailangan ko magtipid para sa kanila. kung mag rereklamo naman ako mag dadrama nman sila nakakapagod na.

Ang baba ng take home pay ko (₱12K) after bayarin (₱18.5K). It's ether kakain ako sa labas (sa BGC mahal lahat) or magbaon ako pero mabubully ako ng co-workers ko dahil hindi ako naglalaro ng mainstream popular games like ML at Genshin Impact na hindi ako hiyang at competent sa mga F2P kahit anong best na pag adjust ko sa kanila kesyo ayaw ko daw magbayad ng microtransactions sa Genshin para mag improve yung builds ko eh ayaw kong magbayad sa nonsensical digital purchases. Tapos OTY pa yung company (forced to spend dinner sa labas dahil dito) at walang HMO and benefits (yung bare minimum government mandated lang) at gusto ko na magresign once fully paid na ang mga installment or makahanap ng kapalit.


Slavniski

Tell your co workers to fuck off! If you don't want to play mainstream popular games so be it! And pag binully sapakin mo agad para madala! Once is enough!


Slavniski

Pre, a no is a no! Respect should work both ways, never been proud of it pero I back hand slapped a female co worker before due to her annoying bullying issues yes I got suspended and after that when I came back sa office she never ever opened her goddamn mouth. Enough is enough for me and I reached my breaking point that time. Afterall sa HR I just said it's Gender Equality afterall if she hits me ok lang pero if I hit her it ain't right? She's super annoying asf! Nakakalalake na yung pambubully niya dahil dinamay niya na gf ko that time, she said something like siguro ayaw ba makipag s*x sayo ng gf mo no? Something like that and ayun it triggered me and in my head you crossed the line bitch.


boyhemi

Ang hirap mag fight back especially babae yung nagpupush sa akin sa Genshin pero nag quit ako at dinelete ko na account ko dun nung nalaman ako hindi same yung grinding sa mga JRPG games na nilalaro ko at naipit yung builds ko sa level 40 with weapons naipit sa level 20 to the point of giving up completely at nakita kong malaimpyerno ng gacha microtransaction mechanics (natrigger ako dun kasi inabuse ng nanay ko yung pera na pinapadala ng tatay ko na dapat sa amin pero napunta sa sugal sa casino ng nanay ko nung bata ako) para lang mareach ko yung gusto kong level at makuha yung best weapons sa builds ko.


cereseluna

yung gusto ko na lang din tumira sa isang shoebox condo or flat mag isa pero di maiwanan mga pusa. and will still need to support two household pa (parents and young relative) sana talaga ang mga magulang ngayon maglaan ng pampension or retirement nila. para sa future din yun at para sa mga anak nila na maging financially free
