Work, Career & Money

Hello sa lahat at ikuwento ko lang ang kuwento ng isang friend ko.

Kasama siya sa mga kapatid na nagaasikaso ng expenses ng bahay nung nakasakit mommy nila. Kahit sila na ang nagaasikaso nagugulat na lang sila na may mga binibili ang mommy nila na hindi nila alam.

S'yempre kahit nakakainis, babayaran ito pero pagsasabihan nila mommy nila. Of course ang mommy, tuloy pa din.

What can she do about this without getting frustrated sa mom niya?

Sa ekonomiya ngayon, kaya pa ba ng single income sa isang pamilya?

Parents, what do you think? Is an additional ₱85 a day enough to help cover groceries, your children's school needs, transportation, and household bills? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments. 👇
