You know what’s sad? Reality hits when you realize na konting ganap lang sa buhay, short ka na agad sa next cut-off. Konting treat lang sa sarili, parang kailangan mo pang pag-isipan nang sampung beses. Kahit sabihin mong matipid ka naman, budgeted lahat, and you’re trying your best to manage your finances.
It’s hard living paycheck to paycheck. May we never find ourselves in a situation where we have to desperately look for money just to get by. 🙏
We just want to live comfortably, pay our bills, enjoy the little things, and get through each cut-off without constantly worrying about money. Is that too much to ask?
Tama nga yung nabasa ko sa Substack: “Pakiramdam ko, habang-buhay akong gagapang para sa pangarap kong hindi naman gano’n kalaki.”
And sometimes, that’s exactly how it feels.
