Living near the workplace? hmm parang i can't consider it as an option.. First of all based sa mga colleagues ko renting nearby the office it cost them too much, kasi yun nga maganda yung location, hindi ka nga mamamasahe/magbudget sa gas yari ka naman sa upa.. And if ever ang scneario na is may condo na kami na pinaparent yet nagdadagdag pa din kami dun kasi kulang yung rent money sa monthly ammort. Then il rent din nearby sa workplace parang mas malaki ang gastos pag ganun? Yung stress and pagod sa byahe lang ang nawala i feel its a bog no no..
i mean "the living near parents" based on my experience
anyway dito naman sa living near workplace...while its true na mahal nga mag rent near ortigas..i'm sure makakakita ka pa rin ng equally affordable nearer than valenzuela..say pasig or mandaluyong or qc..and since dalawa pa lang kayo, rent a smaller place...
well TS..since u've basically read all the opinions that u've asked for...nasa iyo pa rin lahat yan..
there's a couple of small condo buildings opening in a couple of months near my area in brgy san antonio which have studio units going for about 9-10K/month.
think of it this way, you're just buying back your time and travel stress.
pero kung di talaga kasya sa budget, stay at your own place nalang.
it's still better to be independent of your parents.
finally, renting out your place may help with monthly installments pero mas mabilis din ma-rundown yung unit.
In-laws will tend to meddle with their children's homelives, especially when there are grand-kids involved na. Their reason, they have the experience so you should follow their so-called advise.
Advise defined as "my commandments".
huwag kayo masyado lalayo sa parents niyo... siguradong kakailanganin niyo sila pag nagkaanak na kayo... as in sigurado.. lalo na kung parehas kayo working...
There's no sure shot deal really on what is best as there are too many factors involved.
Living with your folks:
- Gives you opportunity to save up (granted you do save your extra money and dont waste it on whatever stuff).
- You have extra income from rent income to help pay for your condo.
- Have peace of mind in leaving your kid behind at home when you do have kids.
Starting on your own:
- Nothing beats the feeling of being self sufficient.
- You and your wife have more room to grow together and learn things on running a household (sakit ng ulo talaga, especially when you have young kids to be left at home alone).
My opinion: go out and be on your own![]()
If you decide to live with your parents, your wife would have to deal with "pakikisama" constantly and that's really tiring. It's better to live in a small condo or apartment as long as you are independent. You may have difficulty financially but going through hard times together would make your relationship with your wife stronger.
Live separately and as far away as possible from both parents (yours & hers).
It will be good for you and your gf.
no new wife in her right mind will want to live with her in-laws! Who wants competition for her husband's attention? Don't live under your parents' roof, but you may live near them or beside them. as long as there's a physical barrier. And be sure to visit your parents regularly and bring along the apos when they arrive..
if you do end up living beside them and they cook for you, be sure to compensate them.
you know your parents' personalities. you be the judge..
Ako pinatira ko biyenan ko sa bahay ko para magkasama sila ng anak nya. Wala naman kami problema ng biyenan ko. Masaya din mga anak ko kasi kasama nila lola nila.
ate ko nakatira sa house namin. araw araw nagrereklamo mom ko sa kalat ng mga bata. mom ko dami reklamo sa bayaw ko, pero lagi naman ma reklamo yun at dds so im not surprised [emoji1787]

Naalala ko MIL ko, kontrabida sa buhay ko dati yun, nung magka stroke eh naging malumanay na at bumait. Hindi ko alam kung may brain damage dahil sa stroke or nagbago ng disposisyon sa buhay dahil ayaw na ma stroke. [emoji23]
