What Are You Thinking About?

Your mom is just worried about you Ms Cath. Natitigasan siguro sa ulo mo di mo sinusunod advice nya heheh. Parents are like that when they dont see their children happy, tapos binibigyan ng payo, di pinapakinggan

May pinagseselosan kasi. But I think it's very immature to emotionally blackmail. She even tells me we made her BP high then she makes it worse by not eating and taking her medicine etc. Para tuloy ako yung magulang at siya yung bata. My Dad never did that to me.

Thinking if I should just be an online seller + uber driver. I wonder if I will earn as much as my salary.

Kulang na sa pansin mama mo, usual sa mga tumatanda. By that time mga naghahanap ng apo yan mga yan hahah.

Wag ka na mag aspire mag uber driver, mas mahirap sa streets lalo na para sayo babae and not very keen on street life heheh. You need a lot of patience on both being an uber driver and online seller, then online selling will ask most of your time kahit 12 am may magtetext or maginquire pa sa goods mo. Basically almost 24/7 job. You cant let off business selling since you need to build your name, advertise goods, make business connections and find that market you are trgetting. If you are decided and ready to commit then good for you. I have no experience in both but it seems plausible to those who are very good in time management. The only online selling I ever did was to sell my sneakers which I stopped using for some reason heheh

I'm wondering, what's the usual benchmark for the average Filipino yuppie when it comes to career/life?

What age do people usually buy their first car? Their first house? How long does it usually take before one earns six-digits?

When do people usually get married and where do they get the finances for the wedding as well as all the appliances and furniture for their house?

I don't have an idea on what the "industry average" is, so I end up putting a lot of pressure on myself, fearing I'd get left behind.

Don't unnecessarily pressure yourself bro.,- you are doing better than almost all of your contemporaries.....

I was there,- I know how it feels. It is not worth it.

The key is identifying your Partner In Life.

It will make or break you.

The rest are just incidentals.....

Around 3-5M yearly. Thankfully we have standardized salary increase yearly plus profit sharing. Maybe Ill hit that upper echelon when 40 comes around.

Uncle does almost double with his wife.

Bro, I guess you cant use mine as a benchmark as we are both from different generations but to give you an idea -

Got married at 25, promoted to a manager at 29 and got to own my first car as well. First house loan at 30 and earned a 6-digit salary at 35. By today's standard, I would say I am a late bloomer as I have officemates who reached the managerial entry level at 26, a car and a house at 28 and a 6-digit salary at 30. All these because of the advent of MNCs and BPOs that provide plenty of room for growth, banks and other financial institutions who offer low DP and affordable interest rates, and competition among bigger companies who offer huge salaries and incentives to attract the best talent. But at the end of the day, success for me is being passionate about your work, happiness and contentment with your peers and the culture of the company and enough quality time for yourself and the family.

As bro CVT eloquently put it - the rest are just incidentals. Kaya idol ko si bossing CVT.

But of course, you know better....

i asked her for a second chance but she declined. is she playing mind games with me? ang labo. i have moved on already (i think).

Wow. I am really a big failure. I'm in my 30s and I cannot afford my own car or house. And I am very far from a 6 digit salary

I'm comparing myself to my parents and they built their own house in their early 30s (lot given by my Lola at Dad's side). And if I had children I could not send them to the same school my parents did for us.

Kaya sometimes I apologise to my Mom that I am a failure unlike the children of her friends that are able to gift them with cars or trips to US/Europe.

And it's true what CVT said re marriage, it can make or break you.
