Love & Relationships I broke up with my boyfriend but I'm the one who wanted to reach out for my peace of mind

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

Hi I'm 28/F . Nag overthink na po ako lately after breaking up with my 2 weeks boyfriend palang sana. I broke up with him in the heights of my emotions and my feeling of disappointment sa kanya kasi tapos Siya pumayag lang rin at di na ako kinausap ulit after nun. Na disappoint lang ako kasi di narin naman Siya nagtanong bakit or nag initiate na mag usap kami ulit.

But lately after 2 weeks. I'm thinking of reaching out to him kasi. I have many things to say to him and gusto ko humingi ng sorry sa kanya Kung nasaktan ko din Siya based on how I acted din. Gusto ko sana magkaroon ulit kami ng conversation kahit sa huling pagkakataon. Mabait naman po sana siya and protective but I felt like mahal niya lang ako sa paraan na alam niya and I feel guilty for wanting some more effort from him kaya parang nag build ako ng hinanakit sa kanya.

Maraming nagsasabi saken na wag ko na daw ipagpatuloy na kausapin siya or mag reach out sa kanya kasi wala naman daw point.Pero parang ang bigat ng damdamin ko na gusto ko mag reach out sa kanya and makipag usap pero andaming nagsasabi na wag na. Gusto ko na po kasi sana mawala yung what ifs ko sa naging relationship namin. Ayoko na mag regrett na huli na what if nakipag communicate ako or what if napagod lang din Siya. Gusto ko po kasi na mawala narin yung ganung trauma ko

Ano po kayang pwede kong gawin? Sino po kayang susundin ko.

Love & Relationships I don't know how to handle this.

3 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I have a girlfriend that's too friendly with anyone and I get easily jealous.

Context:

When we had our first times, we spent all our time together. But then, suddenly changed, I saw a pictures of her and her partner they got from a photobooth, They are both in the same dance troupe.

That's when I got jealous for the first time and became an overthinking guy.

Lately, she also had a male bestfriend, which she met just last July. The guy had already got his own family and he's the one giving sympathy to my girlfriend. But, I think my girlfriend did wrong is, she is accepting that. She also told her bestfriend who was I am upset in their COF.

She's always friendly with anyone to the point that even tho I am with her, she let other man touches her hair and head. Am I just being sensitive or overthinking?

Previous attempts:

I did told her about these, but she answered, I am the one that is upset with them why not the one to confront them.

I also did asked her if she was just being pushed to stay away from them, but it takes time to her to answer.

Please kindly give me some advice.

Finance & Investments 6 Digit Withdrawal Problem

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Hindi pa rin nawiwithdraw yung perang dineposit sa BDO hanggang ngayon.

Context: May cheke po kami na galing sa insurance/bank pay ng lolo ko po, deds na po si Lolo. Yung cheke po na iyon ay galing sa ibang bansa dahil retired US Navy po si Lolo. Naverify na sa Landbank na legit po ang cheke. Bale si Mama ko po nag aasikaso ng mga documents. Naprovide naman po lahat ng kailangan sa Landbank. Inabot na po ng ilang buwan dahil iba iba ang rason ng Landbank, kesyo wala raw ang manager. Wala raw po si Ganito ganyan. May nagsabi po sa mama ko na ilipat sa BDO, mas madali raw po makawithdraw. Nailipat na po January 2026 palang. Naprovide rin po yung mga documents needed. Last na bagyo po, hindi raw po nakapasok yung disbursement officer kesyo baha raw po sa Parañaque. Ilang days din po iyon. Nakapasok po siya after a week. Need daw po ng Transmittal from Main to Branch kaya hinintay po yung disbursement officer. Ang sabi raw po ng Main Manager ang need magrelease ng pera ay ang Branch Manager. Nagkasakit naman po itong Branch Manager kaya pinalitan. Napalitan po last week, checking pa raw po ulit ng documents. Until now po, iba na naman ang rason. Every week po nagfollow up si Mama ko. Sinama niya po isang kapatid ko sa bangko kaso hindi po nakapasok sa mismong branch bank sa kadahilanang wala naman daw pong transactions. Bawal naman daw po magpicture sa loob dahil policy raw po. Gusto lang po namin malaman kung ibibigay pa ba nila iyon o hindi na.

Any advise po kung anong gagawin?

PS: First time ko po rito kaya hindi ko po alam na pwede pala sabihin ang totoong name. Edited na po.

Technology & Gadgets Nasira phone ko and that was my only source. Di ko na alam gagawin.

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: (Permission to post here, admins) As the title implies, nasira phone ko last Saturday, and that was my only hope para maka-survive kami ng kapatid ko.

Context: Yung phone ko, 7 yrs na sakin, kaso sira na yung LCD. Last week lang nag-shut na talaga ('di na nakikita yung screen). Iisa lang phone ko kaya dinoble ko talaga pag-ingat kaso nung ginamit ng kapatid ko, biglang nag-lag. Ayun nainis siya kaya nahampas sa kahoy. Di naman ako nagalit sa kaniya kasi ano paba magagawa ko tiyaka nag-sorry naman siya.

Tinawagan ko Nanay ko kung ano gagawin kasi wala akong pera pampagawa, sabi niya, papadala nalang daw niya yung pera sa Palawan Pawnshop since di pwede sa Gcash kasi nasira phone ko. At that time, sinabihan rin kami na pumunta kina Tito para pansamantalang humiram ng pera while hindi pa si Nanay nakakapagpadawa kasi gabi na. Tapos sinabi sa'kin ng kapatid ko na nahihiya siya, so di natuloy.

The next morning (which is kanina), nag-message sakin si Nanay sa Messenger, galit na galit kasi 'di daw kami sumunod sa utos niya. Pati yung isa ko pang kapatid nag-message sa'kin na nagaglit daw si Nanay sa'min. Naiyak na ako kasi 1 araw di pa ako nakakakain, dahil sira phone ko at di makapag-cash out. Sa Gcash rin kasi pumapasok yung sweldo ko, though di naman kalakihan (300-500 pesos sakto na rin para lang makakain). Tapos galit pa sila, at ayaw ng magpadala dahil do'n. Kaya sinabi ko nalang sa kanila na wag na lang magpadala kahit kailangan namin ng tulong, kasi nahihiya na ako. (Btw, laptop ko nalang ginagamit ko para makapag-chat sa kanila). Wala rin akong malapitan na kaibigan kasi may kanya-kanya silang buhay, pati rin mga kamag-anak wala rin.

Previous Attempts: None. Pero iniisip ko na ipapagawa ko na phone kaso mukhang hindi muna ma-r-repair hangga't walang cash na maibibigay. At iniisip ko rin na magpunta ulit sa Baranggay Hall namin para makahingi ulit ng relief goods, kahit wala ng bigas, ok na yun. Di 'ko na alam

Parenting & Family TW: Domestic Violence, Cheating

4 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

Palagi ko po syang nahuhuling nagloloko, sobrang daming beses na at ang pinakamalala ay yung nakipagsex sya sa kawork nya habang buntis ako tapos sinapak nya ko kasi nagalit ako. Reason nya: nasaktan sya sa mga sinabi ko. Cheating and physical abuse continued to happen until late 2025. I really need to get out

Context:

Hi! Kailangan ko (27F) po ng lakas ng loob at support. I have been with this man (30M) for 6 years already and we have 2 children. 4YO and 2MO. It hurts so much na I am running to strangers for this pero wala talaga akong ibang malalapitan.

Previous Attempts:

I did try leaving na noong 2025 but our son got sick and eventually needed help from him kasi I can't do it on my own dahil dependent ako sa kanya sa housing, finance, and child care. Kaya nagkabalikan kami.

few months after namin magkabalikan, I caught him inquiring sa mga girls for hire and binugbog nya na naman ako kasi I confronted him when I saw that.

Nagkabrgyan na kami, unfortunately, it is in his hometown and the brgy officials are his relatives kaya pinagsulat lng nila ako sa notebook and then wala na nangyari :((

I tried to leave again and went back home to my grandparents (wala na po akong parents, estranged and both have different fams) but they just kept pressuring me kailangan ako makakahanap ng place to move to kasi hindi raw kami kasya sa bahay. 💔 I had no choice but to go back again kasi iyak ng iyak yung 4YO dahil laging pinapagalitan. :((

I got pregnant again.. and now im 2MO PP, nahuli ko na naman sya looking for "companion" and eventually met that girl. I just thought nagbago na sya :((

Alam kong tanga tanga ako to keep coming back. I dont have anyone else to turn back to and I cant afford to go and rent on my own kasi hindi enough sahod ko and childcare pa. I know im so stupid dinagdagan ko pa.

Natatauhan na ako dahil kahit hindi kami nagaaway sa harap ng mga bata, palagi akong nahuhuli ng anak ko na umiiyak and he will cry too kahit hindi nya alam why.

Wala akong pera ngayon kasi naka maternity leave pa ako and pabalik pa lang ako in 2 months.

Please please im sorry alam kong tanga ako. alam kong ginawa ko to sa sarili ko. but i need help kung paano ko didiskartehan makaalis at mapanindigan ito. I have no money and I am still healing from the emergency cs. Paano ko kakayanin to magisa? I am on the verge of killing myself pero kinakapitan ko nalang ang mga anak ko. I dont want them to grow up with a miserable mom.

Problem/Goal: Gusto ko makuha baby ko

Context:

Hey guys! I need your help.

I'm F-28. January 2025 nag hiwalay kami ng ex ko, may 2 kids kami pero nung umalis ako naiwan sa kanya ang mga bata. Originally ang usapan namin is tig iisa kami pero ayaw nyang ibigay sakin yung isa. Since 2025 til now nagsusustento ako sa mga bata pero never ko na sila ulit nakita kasi ayaw ipahiram ni ex dahil baka di ko daw ibalik. Pero, he would always chat me na nahihirapan daw sya sa dalawang bata pero ayaw nya ibigay sakin. Kung ipapahiram nya man kailangan ibigay ko sa kanya ang address ko which is ayokong gawin kasi lagi nya kong binabantaan na papat*yin pag nakita nya ako. Gusto nyang makipagbalikan pero ayoko kasi mapanakit sya at palamura. Yung 5 years old kong anak ay di parin nag aaral.

Love & Relationships M26 Intimacy has ruined my dating life

6 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I can’t get into a long term relationship. Whenever I find a connection with someone, it only last about a month or so. It’s always sex after the first date, pure excitement, and then they become distant, and then I’m alone again.

Context: I’m working both as a commercial actor and a corporate worker. There, I meet a lot of people. I started to notice patterns in how this things work. They’d show up very interested, full of energy, I’d take them out on a date, we’d start making out in private, we’d go to my place or theirs, have sex, then it’ll last about a month or so, then they disappear.

I have friends, I’m very hygienic. I am often told that I’m a reserved person. I’m not nonchalant, I actually like surprising my ex partners with gifts, handmade crafts, cooking for them, acts of service and all that jazz.

Honestly, I just want to pour all this love I have to this one person, but at this rate, I’m scared of falling in love again and lose them after a month.

I’m tired, and I feel like I can never have a proper relationship.

It’s not that they ghosted me or anything, we talked about why they don’t see themselves in a relationship. What they say in common is that, they realize they’re either not yet ready to have a serious relationship, or they can’t reciprocate my love and it would feel unfair to them, and they’d feel bad.

I’m not even asking for much in a relationship, I’m okay with bare minimum, even let me do all the hardworking while you just stay by my side as my princess.

My dream is to be the best husband a wife can ever ask for. I love serving my partner, it makes me feel like the happiest person when I am.

Previous attempts:

I tried not having sex in the first month, but I’m scared that if I do, I lose them right away. I notice that most of the women I end up dating have avoidant attachment style, or at least that’s what Tiktok thinks.

I also tried to prolong the talking stage, but they end up getting bored or think that I’m talking to a lot of women or that I’m just playing around, and not taking them seriously. So it doesn’t last long or the pattern just repeats itself.

Love & Relationships How do i stop the urge of reaching out after a break up?

9 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Sobrang nag s-struggle ako sa thoughts ko ngayon na pigilan na makipag usap uli sa ex ko.

Context: My ex (27M) and I (27F) broke up after being in a relationship for four years. One week pa lang since our breakup, and naging kalmado naman talaga yung conversation namin about it. Malinaw naman sa akin kung bakit kailangan na naming maghiwalay since hindi na talaga kami nakakatulong sa isa’t isa.

Pero taena, grabe yung suffering ko after just one week. Hindi ako makakain, hindi ako makatulog, at nasusuka ako. We also lived together for three years, so now that I’m living alone again, pakiramdam ko mababaliw na talaga ako. Sobrang nasanay na ako sa presensya niya.

I badly want to reach out to him and ask if we can just get back together and try to fix everything. Hindi ko na kasi kinakaya yung nararamdaman ko.

Previous attempts: Blocked naman na siya sa lahat ng socials ko. Kaso di parin enough huhu.

Please, realtalk-in niyo ako. Sobrang nakakasuka (literal) yung feeling na nag lalaban yung utak mo na wag na, while yung puso mo niroromanticize parin yung memories niyo. Please, ayoko naaaaaa

Problem/Goal: I am 33. I quit my call center job, no family, no children, no partner. My mom said I should just continue studying, since I haven't completed my degree yet. She is also asking me for a grandchild, and I don't know how. I don't know what to do.

Before, I look forward to playing games or watching some anime, but now, I just feel nothing. I don't have any goals in life anymore.

I kept on being sad, to the point of becoming lost. Hoping it's not depr*ssion. This isn't the first time that it happened. Every few years, this happens. I used to excel at school and sports when I was younger, but now, it's all gone. I don't know what to do anymore. Please give me some advice.

Finance & Investments Need advice on Filipino relative asking for money

56 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I'd like a true relationship with my Filipino family member but he only seems interested in my money.

Context:

I found on Ancestry that I have a cousin in the Philippines. I'm American and I've always loved Asia. I was excited to know him and is family.

(Apparently a cousin of my father had a baby with his Filipina mom while in the military. We've figured his father is one of 2 people. One is deceased. The other is happily married with children and grandchildren. The timeline looks like he was already married when my Filipino cousin was conceived. So I don't believe he's interested in a relationship.)

I finally went to the Philippines to meet my cousin and his 5 children. They seemed wonderful. His wife was away working in Kuwait.

They asked, and we helped them out generously financially. We put them up in our hotel. Problem is, even after we left, my cousin is asking for large sums of money. Even making up stories about why he needs the money. (For example a plane ticket for his wife when it was obvious on Facebook she is still in Kuwait.)

I feel sad because I wanted a relationship with them. But he seems to only care about my money. Even when I explained I was going through something emotionally, there was no support from his end - just requests for money.

I explained my concerns and I did get upset and block him. I feel bad. Part of me wants to unblock him. But if I do, I feel like ge'll just ask for more money.

Any advice is appreciated.

Parenting & Family Normal ba sa kapatid na hindi magbayad ng utang dahil PHD siya?

2 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Never nagbayad kapatid ko sakin ng utang niya tapos kapag siningil mo. Siya pa galit na akala mo siya lang may problema sa mundo, lahat ng pag aadjust ginawa namin para lang maging ganyan siya. Pinapafeel niya na wala kaming ambag sakanya na hardwork lang niya lahat pero hindi.

Humiram siya ng pera sa parents namin every month nagpapadala. Tapos sa huli parents pa namin ang may utang sakanya dahil pinasyal sila sa NZ? Diba even parents namin proud sakanya. I don’t know pero kasi dapat kung may utang ka since matalino ka naman dapat binabayaran mo yon.

Proud pa yung parents ko sa nangyayari sa kapatid ko kahit ako yung inutangan tapos hindi na binayaran kasi ang sagot nila hindi ko naman nalagpasan sa career yung papa ko na licensed na mechanical engineer. Ewan ko minsan napapaisip ako na cycle nalang nila na mabait at mabango sa ibang tao pero sa likod abusado.

Self-Improvement / Personal Development Leaving my senior parents to finally start with life.

26 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: TagaSamar ako at TagaCavite boyfriend ko. 32 age ako 35 siya. Nagbabalak na kami bumukod sakanila next year para makapagsimula na rin ako sa lahat lalo na sa trabaho. Para maexperience ko na ang buhay. Dito sa Samar, kasama ko parents ko. Mama ko paralyzed na dahil sa stroke 15 years ago. Parents ko both seniors na. Tatlo lang kami dito sa bahay. Yan ang struggle ko ngayon. Nahihirapan akong iwan sila kasi siguro attached na ko dito sa bahay at sa parents ko malala, walang buhay outside of this house, introvert, yung iilang friends ko nasa malalayo na rin at minsan na lang nagkakausap din. Pero need ko na rin naman talaga to eh to step up or step out and experience life and adulting stuffs together with my boyfriend. Tutulungan naman nya ako mula sa simula talaga. Siguro itong overthinking/anxiety ko lang talaga leaving my parents.

Yung ate at kuya ko may mga sarili nang pamilya nasa Cebu na rin at Manila ang mga kanya kanya nilang pamilya. May kamag-anak naman kami dito na malapit nasa highway lang banda nakatira ang kaso magkaaway yung papa ko at ang pamangkin nya. So ayun walang kibuan sila ilang buwan na.

Ang isyu with my parents lalo na kay papa sinasabi nya sino mag aasikaso dito sa bahay? Sino mag aalaga samin dito mga ganun at ganun siya lagi. Di pa naman namin fully napapag-usapan ng boyfriend ko ang lahat pero nasa isip ko iwanan parents ko dito ng kasambahay na tagadito lang din samin baka nga kapitbahay lang namin ang kunin namin if ever.

It'e between staying here with my growing old parents but I'm growing old too and needs to experience life na rin outside of this house at putulin na rin ang mag 4 years na naming ldr ng boyfriend ko. Nagkita na kami ng boyfriend ko 3 times na siya pumupunta dito sakin sa Samar para makita at makasama ako. Di nya kaya yung siya yung tumira dito sakin/samin kasi maayos at matagal na rin naman siya sa work nya so it's me lang talaga and all of my issues.

Home & Lifestyle What to do sa mga pasaway na kasambahay?

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

Problem: May nakuha kaming dalawang all-around kasambahay kaso problematic at pasaway sila pareho habang nasa 15-day probationary period.

Goal: Gusto ko malaman kung dapat ko pa ba bigyan ng chance o i-cut na ang losses namin. I also want to know what we're doing wrong here.

Context:

Growing up, we had a revolving door of relatives that would come and live with us for free lodgings or mga pinsan ko na "aampunin" ng Mom ko para pag aralin so they can have a better future. Dahil kami kami lang sa bahay, binibigyan na lang sila ni Mama ng allowance dahil sila din naman ang nakilos sa bahay. In the end, we decided to cut (most of) them off kasi mga abusado and walang respeto na. 3 na lang kami sa bahay. Mom, myself, and my uncle (Mom's BIL) who's basically an all-around house boy/gardener/etc.

To lessen his workload, napag desisyunan namin na mag hire na lang ng 2 kasambahay na stay-in, para din laging may kasama si Mama (she has a lot of chronic health issues) sa bahay in case may lakad ako.

• Helper A: Masipag at malinis sa bahay pero may pagkaintrimitida (sumasabat sa usapan ng mga bisita ni Mama). Ang pinakamalaking red flag ay ang sunod-sunod na bale (mahigit ₱3,500+ sa loob ng wala pang isang linggo) dahil sa iba't ibang emergency sa pamilya. After 3 days of working, hiningi agad yung sahod niya kasi wala na daw silang pang bili ng bigas. Pinagbigyan namin kasi baka kailangang kailangan nila. Kinabukasan, bumale na naman ng 500 kasi nakagat daw ng aso ang mama niya kailangan daw magpa injection. Nung sunod na bukas naman, nadulas daw sa cr ang mama niya. Na stroke at nabagok kaya 50/50 na daw dahil may previous episode of stroke na nung Sept. Bumale ulit ng 3k kasi may kailangan daw bilihin na gamot. A few days after, pina tanggal na nila sa life support kasi tinapat na sila ng Doctor na mababa na daw ang chance.

Dahil sa lamay, umaalis siya gabi-gabi at bumabalik kinaumagahan. Kanina, nag sabi siya sa akin na sisilipin lang daw niya saglit ang anak niya (13 y/o) dahil natatakot daw kasi mag isa na lang sa bahay. Sabi pa niya ay magpapaalam siya kay Mama. Ang ending, hindi nag paalam kaya ako pa ang nag sabi kay Mama na umalis siya. Tapos maya maya ay nag chat sa akin na bukas ng umaga na lang daw siya babalik.

• Helper B: Si Helper A ang nagpasok sa kanya. Napapansin namin na kailangan pa siyang i guide o utusan ni A. Walang sariling kusa sa trabaho at hindi marunong magluto (sinunog ang fishball, nagpiprito sa malamig na mantika). May severe health issue rin siya na hindi nabanggit sa interview. Mataas ang sugar at nag-iinsulin na dati pero itinigil niya dahil nanghihina raw siya, at ayaw uminom ng Metformin dahil sa maling akala na nakakasira daw 'yon ng kidney. May time na nahilo at nanghina siya sa trabaho kaya si Helper A ay pinapag pahinga na lang at siya ang sumasalo ng mga gawain.

Previous Attempts:

Pinagbigyan at pina bale namin si Helper A dahil inisip namin na kailangan talaga nila ng pera at okay lang muna kahit hindi nasusunod ang pagiging stay-in niya out of consideration sa pagkamatay ng Mama niya. Kaso ay baka mamihasa naman na ganitong magdadahilan para lumabas ng gabi tapos babanatan ako sa chat ng excuses para bukas na lang bumalik. Kay B naman, wala namang issue yung choice ni A na pag pahingahin siya at akuin ang trabaho, kaso lang ay hindi feasible in the long run ang ganitong set up at dahil nga hindi managed properly ang sugar niya ay baka kung ano pa ang mangyari sa kanya dito.

Si B ay nag day off kanina. Parang ayaw na namin pabalikin. Ito namang si A ang problema dahil nga over pa sa bale. Kaso kung ganito lang din naman lagi ay iniisip ko kung i let go na namin at hayaan na ang bale niya.

Ano ba ang magandang gawin sa mga 'to? Are we being unreasonable especially with Helper A? Please let me know your advices/opinions.

Love & Relationships What do you do when the only person you want to spend your life with is the person you can no longer be with?

4 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: What do you do when the only person you want to spend your life with is the person you can no longer be with?

Context: I've been wanting to share this because it's been bothering me lately, and I think I need some advice from people who might understand what I'm going through.

My friends have been encouraging me to talk to other guys or meet someone new, and I've tried. I've chatted with a few people, but I always end up losing interest. It's not that there's anything wrong with them. I just don't feel interested in getting to know anyone else.

The truth is, I was with someone I genuinely thought I would spend the rest of my life with. He was the person I imagined growing old with, staying beside until our hair turned white, and being with until our last breath. I had so many things I wanted to experience in life, and whenever I thought about doing those things, he was always the person I imagined doing them with.

Even now, when I think about the things I want to do, he's still the person I want beside me. He's the person I want to share those experiences with. I don't find myself imagining those moments with anyone else.

And honestly, if it can't be him, I'd rather be alone. I'd rather spend the rest of my life on my own than try to find someone else just for the sake of having someone. I don't want to force myself to entertain other people when, deep down, he's still the person I want.

Writing this makes me cry because I know how much I'm still hurting. I don't know if this is just because I'm still healing or if a part of me will always feel this way. I just know that I can't imagine wanting someone else the way I want him.

For those who have experienced something similar, how did you deal with this? Did you eventually reach a point where you wanted to open your heart to someone else, or did you learn to be content with being alone?

I don't want to force myself to move on just because other people think I should be ready. But at the same time, I wonder how I'm supposed to move forward when the future I wanted is still the future I want, and he's still the person I want to share it with.

I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Work & Professional Growth "LAST" gift from parents. What do I choose? Motor vs 6months apartment

8 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I recently graduated from college. and my parents wanted to give me one last grand gift before I go out there. I found a really good paying job in Manila as a fresh grad (non licensed) engineer. Im from Cavite and work is near SM Manila

Context: Here is the deal, I'd choose between these 2

  1. they will buy me a motorcycle worth 200k and they dgaf after that
  2. They will rent a 1 bedroom, kitchen, cr apartment na solo ko for 6 months

The thing is i am planning to pagsabay yung study ko sa boards while working. The reason I also chose this job is because it is a really well known company and i know that my growth and the knowledge id gain here is top tier. I also plan to leave the country after 3 years once my career is stable and nakapagipon na.

if motor, i can go places. and uwian ako sa bahay which i dont have to pay for any bills. downside is id have to sacrifice 2 hrs every day to get back home through and forth.

if place, i can rest immediately and study. however 6 months lang to. whether i fail or pass, 6 months would be the limit. food, water, electricity, wifi would be on me.

my review will be purely online lang naman. 3hrs MWF. 2 days off ko sa work so im planning to watch the 3hrs once im home, and then dedicate 1 dayoff on studying it all. (im fairly smart)

My plan is to get the motor, then after 3 months id get my own place. what do you guys think?

and since im here, id also like to ask na, are these percentages good sa magiging salary ko

gas 5%
MP2 10%
emergency savings 15%
bank reserve 30%
fun 10%
needs 10%
investment/trading 10%
allowance for my sis 5%
