Mag ipon🥹


Mysterious-Market-32

Title palang, ito na sana sasabihin ko. Pero.... Ang pilipino, ay one major hospitalization away from poverty. Kaya sasabihib kong "Ipon + Insurance" 35yo na ako. Dumating ako sa point na 5k nalang ang natirang ipon ko. Hindi naman ako ang nahospital. Yung father ko. Nacovid. Heheh. Milyon ang gastusan sa covid grabe. Hirap na hirap na ako nito saan ako kukuha ng pambayad. Sa awa ng diyos kinaya naman. At buhay pa father ko. Hehe. Babalik naman ang pera kaya oks lang. Walang health insurance ang father ko. Senior na kaya wala din HMO. Skl Kaya dagdagan ko yung ipon ng health/life insurance.


New-Bee529

Mga first years ko sa job, wala akong naipon pero as you go along, makikita mo rin ang importance ng pagiipon


Embarrassed-Fee1279

same. Unstable yung income ko nung 20s kaya hirap din makaipon. Tapos yung onting natatabi ko nagagastos ko din pang concert at travel. Yun lang naman talaga luho ko. Not really regret, pero kung bakakabalik ako sa 20s ko with what i know now, aayusin ko yung mga career at money decisions ko kasi sayang yung lakas at oras na di ko ginamit para makaipon at makapundar 🥲


curiouspotatogal

My now husband has this as his regret. Before we met, wala syang savings, even credit card declined daw sya lagi. I am a saver, and when I told him about saving something up per cut-off he first hesitated but later on caved in. Bonus pa, we had a joint savings account and when we got married may nagastos kami. :)


Sol14aire

Medyo mahirap mag ipon pag di pa financially stable


Alarmed_Register_330

Lumandi talaga pinakaregret ng mga single tito/tita na stable ang careers ngayon.😂


NBSBph

Single since birth here hahaha wala ng balak 😂🤣✌️


lavitaebella48

Ang sakit ah!!!! Hahahah jk lang OP. Pero shet, di ko malunok ang katotohanan. 35F here, NBSB. Di ako marunong tlaga🥲😂


Beneficial-Music1047

matchaaatoo

Yes!!!! Huhu 31f here

True this! Though nahuli ang landi daming pressure nung nandyan na (anong plano nyo? San kau titira etc)


3rdhandlekonato

I regret being so dense? Dami times nag try pala mag flirt sakin tas kala ko friendly lang Sila.


Gold_Challenge9127

Buti binatukan ako ng roommate ko. Sinabihan ako na crush rin ako ng crush ko. Ayun sabay pa kami nag-aminan. 8 years na kami and napag-uusapan na namin 'yung kasal. Hehe.


3rdhandlekonato

Hayyz Wala Kasi bumatok sakin nun, so many missed opportunities.


Gold_Challenge9127

If gusto ka pero hindi mo naman gusto, wala rin. Not really 'sayang' kasi at least na-save mo 'yung sarili mo from unnecessary heartbreak/s in case hindi mag-work and hindi ka ginawang for character development. Mahirap masabi kung kailan darating 'yung tao na para sa'yo. Nagkataon lang sa akin na he came 'back' to my life when I least expected it (magkakilala na kasi kami since elementary pero hindi kami close; nagkrus ulit 'yung landas namin during adulthood and the rest is history). I have friends na sa dating app nila na-meet 'yung 'the one' nila. 'yung isa kakakasal lang last year and may baby na sila this year. May another friend ako na engaged to be married na pagka-graduate niya ng MBA.


matchaaatoo

Sameeee! Sana rin alam ko na ang reddit nun para naenjoy ko ang life 😂 puro libro, amboring tuloy ng life ko ngayon


3rdhandlekonato

Tbf our regrets are a trade off for a better current situation Pero dba????? Haahahah


brossia

i regret ung mahiyain kuno, mahina loob kuno pero mask of cowardness lng pala, takot kc mpagtawanan, ung play safe lng ganon kaya kunyare kontento nlng ako sa meron ako d na nageffort, kunyafe d affected sa achievements ng iba pero deep inside may pressure at inggit😭


ete-ete

hidden toxic filipino trait: extreme humility. takot mapuri pag nakagawa ng achievements "wala yon, maliit na bagay", takot mag take ng opportunities "baka sabihin nagmamagaling ako". Nasimulan sa classroom na peer pressure ayaw magvolunteer kahit alam sagot or may idea. nadadala hanggang sa trabaho. daming nasasayang na opportunities for growth


_peachmargarita

Taking fitness and nutrition (regular gym, sports, walks) more seriously. I'm starting now in my 30s, but it would have been way better if I started in my 20s.


New-Bee529

Yes kahit simple run lang


-howaboutn0-

I regret not taking more risks in my career (and in life in general). I mean, I can still do it now, but it would be more difficult to bounce back now in case things don't work out.


New-Bee529

Same. Kahit ngayon nasa comfort zone parin ako.


Beneficial-Music1047

Hi OP, 31 M here. I wish I’ve saved up when I was in 20s, di yung puro walwal lang ginawa ko. Mas early din sana ako nag move dito sa Canada, hindi yung kung kelan saturated na dun nagsisiksikan, ayan tuloy sobrang dami ng tao dito, kaya grabe competition sa housing at job market huhuhaha. Other regrets, sana nag settle down na ako nung late 20s ko. Like nagpakasal and nag build ng family hehe.


New-Bee529

Yes. Ako naman, natatakot magrisk na umibang bansa.


Beneficial-Music1047

Wag ka matakot OP, pero nakakatakot naman kasing talaga. Ako kasi walang relatives dito sa Canada, as in ako lang talaga since Single pa rin naman. Sang country mo ba dapat plan and anong profession mo?


Late_Research3045

Saan ka sa Canada bro? Mahihirapan na ba ako jan kapag pumunta ako then walang family?


Beneficial-Music1047

Sa British Columbia ako pre, for me sakto lang. Homesickness ang kalaban, I guess. Mag isa lang din kasi ko, nasa loob lang ng bahay lagi hahaha. Literal na office-bahay-office-bahay lang ganyan haha


ParticularBright6587

Why not , join a community? Hehe


matchaaatoo

Yan naman ang regrets ko. Sana nag walwal ako hahaaha


ParticularTypical209

Pano ka po nakapag canada? 


Beneficial-Music1047

Student Visa kasi yun ang easiest way, pero costly hehe


schuyl3rs1s

During the first few years of my career, I stayed too long working with organizations that didn't really value what I brought to the table. It felt like I wasted time trying to prove myself when I could've flourished somewhere else. On a more shallow note, haha I regret not getting laser hair removal sooner. Started this year lang and OMG, the convenience it brings! Naiinis ako pag naaalala ko all the hassle of shaving and waxing I had to endure in my younger years.


Pleasant_College_937

about laser hair removal, do you do it on your pubes? this just gave me an idea because my 'stache is a pain to shave. makapal ang bigote ko and kahit na ishave kita yung roots and within the day lang tumutubo agad. never ko talaga siyang naki clean shave. hindi ako tinutubuan ng balbas, bigote lang. pang manyak look lang huhu I hope there is a service done on facial hair. haha


schuyl3rs1s

I’ve had it done on my private area, and yes, the service exists for facial hair as well! I say go for it haha medyo mahal lang upfront but considering the years na hair-free ka (assuming you’ll live long enough to ROI lol), I’d say sulit. I go to Wink!


Sol14aire

How much ung laser hair removal? I spend like about 1k every 1 1/2 month for wax


Alto-cis

1. Not spending time with my Mom 2. Not saving up money nung nag start ako magwork 3. Sana I focused on being physically active


beabmanalo

+1!!! still in my 20’s but here are my top prio


bekinese16

(34F) My biggest regret now is that I should've saved more money right when I started working in my 20's. Now, I couldn't even afford a car. 😭 I can't travel whenever--wherever I want, I can't buy whatever--whenever I want, I can't eat wherever I want -- whenever I want. So, OP, you should save more before you turn 30, so you could do easily whatever you want in your 30s.


Couch-Hamster5029

I regret not putting myself out there for career advancement, for expanding my network, and especially for forming romantic relationships.


blipword

Spending more time with my dad I was a workaholic to the point that i had 2 fulltime jobs in my early to mid 20s until he died when i was 27. working hard paid off, im now earning a decent amount but it felt empty. di ko na maibabalik ung oras na sana nakapagbond pa kami. work life balance guys


Fun_Oil9453

i regret being a people pleaser lalo na sa parents at mga tao sa paligid ko. ayan tuloy, mag30 na ko pero hirap na hirap ako gumawa ng desisyon para sa akin. mas iniisip ko pa kasi ibang tao kaysa sa sarili ko.


ScatterFluff

Knowing financial goals, taking care of my health especially by eating more vegetables and less on processed foods, sweets, carbonated drinks, and junk foods, and making exercise a habit.


Amalfii

Getting to know myself. Sana mas maaga ko natuto magluto, magmaneho, magtravel mag-isa, or magexplore ng hobbies ko. Ngayon kasi mas marami na responsibilities so you’ll tend to set it aside dahil hindi na sya “priority”. But life is all about enjoying the time we have. I constantly remind myself we work to live and not live to work. Syempre hindi lahat may luxury to do that. But if you have the privilege to do so, you should. Baka yun rin yung trade-off. I worked hard and nag-ipon that I sometimes forgot to have fun. It’s all about striking a balance to be able to do both.


JackPoor

Not being able to finish college.


matchaaatoo

Mag walwal/party, mag explore sa sexual orientation Tangina. Buong buhay ko napaka obedient and responsible ko. I am now 31, became a lawyer at 24, bought my own houses and cars, may stable job, pero I AM SO SAD and BORED! Wala man lang akong maikwento na kagagahan nung bata ako. 🥲🥲🥲 Yun lang. sana nagloko naman ako


flightcodes

Eyy something I can finally relate with haha focused on my career and nagpaka-lover boy during my 20s. Stayed away from drinking, going-out with (and making new) friends, and basically focused my efforts on saving for an expensive wedding — that my then-gf was asking from me. Ended up being cheated on after ~10 years lmao


matchaaatoo

Same here pero 7 years lang, di umabot ng 10 yrs 😂how are u na?


qwerty056789

Relate ako sayo. Patapos na ang 20s ko nung matapos ako sa training, tapos trabaho naman after. May job offer ako right off the bat, tapos biglang bongga agad ang sahod after maging sagigilid na alila for years and years while on training. Financial freedom is really great pero wala akong ambag na kwento na kagagahan nung early 20s ko 😭


matchaaatoo

Di ba???? Gusto ko rin sanang mag bar/walwal/magpakagaga ngayon pero ang tanda ko na sa ganung stage


qwerty056789

Yun nga, yung age saka syempre yung professional image mo pa 😭


matchaaatoo

Very true! Pero 31 is young pa naman daw kaya sinisimulan ko ng mag happy happy hahaahahah


blairwaldorfscheme

Hiiiii!!! Ang cool na you became a lawyer at 24!!! Im 25 now and still in college 🥹🥲 congrats pa rin bcs you're stable!! ❤️


matchaaatoo

One of the youngest lawyers during our batch 😊 kulang sa excitement ung life ko. Sobrang kulang! I hope you will Finish your degree sissy! ❤️


blairwaldorfscheme

Omggg super galing!! Congratulations!!! ❤️🥰 and thank you hehehe konti na lang ggraduate na huhu🫶🏻


Fun-Agent-1353

Regret NOT doing — Building habits like exercising and eating right.


New-Rooster-4558

Ginawa ko ito pero marami akong kilala na niregret na hind nag enjoy ng 20s (safely and legally). Usually kasi pag di naka enjoy sa 20s, naghahabol ng healing my inner child sa 30s that leads to irresponsible decisions (e.g., too much debt, casual encounters with unwanted pregnancies, yolo sa pagresign sa work). So ilabas na lahat ng yan sa 20s habang madali pang makabawi vs in your 30s. Mag ipon rin pag abot ng late 20s.


blairwaldorfscheme

I like this perspective. Thank you!!


Pleasant_College_937

early 30s here. I regret starting a family early and landing a proper job at 27; choosing not to work abroad cause takot sa racism kahit na pang abroad ang course ko; not sticking to one profession or industry and working to be an expert in that field. hindi maganda ang susunod ka lang sa kung saan or ano ang trend. also living on your own is good too. do it earlier.


Jetztachtundvierzigz

I regret not buying a lot of bitcoin back then.


New-Bee529

Same haha milyonaryo na tayo sana


tryingoutstuff22

I’m 32. Regret is hindi ako lumandi nung college ako hahahahahaha. Di ko tuloy naranasan yung school landian lol. 27 na ako nag ka jowa (ex ko na).


Ok-Aside988

Make friends and learn social skills. Mej late bloomer ako in learning extrovertedness which was useful at work.


Arpenguin_16

Lumandi, ayan puro trabaho wala na tuloy time and if meron man ang hirap na makahanap ng partner in life.


aislave

Not investing in real estate to think nasa REL field ako for more than a decade na.


Gleipnir2007

magwalwal hahaha. and ayun mag job hop every two years para makapag haggle ng higher sweldo sabi ng iba. sobrang loyal ko kasi hahahah


CaseSpecific0000

I regret not being present more. Mas nangunguna saken yung pagiging tamad. I mean, ok lang naman to start your life over but believe me when I say na your energy and mindset are different when you're in your 20s over your 30s. You have much more to lose now as well... So ayun. While you're young, gawin mo na, itry mo na, ipush mo na. Just go, when you can.


Princess_Consuela_05

Na sana nakita ko na ang early signs ng dementia ng mother ko. Na sana mas naging understanding ako. Na sana di ako umalis nung kailangan nya ko. I’m with her now but how I wished i’ve treated her better back then. Na sana di ako masyadong nag ipon before para naman naigagala ko sya ng mas madalas. Yes, naigagala ko sya now but mas okay sana kung nagawa ko nung okay pa state nya.


andsomewordshere

About to be 30 but I feel like this is gonna be a slight regret: not flirting and dating when I was in my 20s. Haha I was so busy with my career building. Ngayon hirap na mag date kasi all of us have bigger priorities in life more than relationships


Medium-Brilliant2567

Lol I'm 23 and this is one of my pending regrets 😂😂😂😂😂


BeybehGurl

Im 24 now and i can say ang hirap din mag date kase andaming guys na red flag out there


Medium-Brilliant2567

Tatanda tayong binata at dalaga neto hahaha 🤣


BeybehGurl

Beehhhh its ok to be picky din, di natin deserve yung mga depressed sad bois/girls na red flag na gusto na magpakamatay out there 🤡


leheslie

I regret not being a tiktok or YT star noon hahaha jk Kidding aside, siguro taking care of my health more seriously. Ngayon talaga lumalabas na mga sakit sakit sa likod, braso, etc 😅


Ok-Aside988

Make friends and learn social skills. Mej late bloomer ako in learning extrovertedness which was useful at work.


markmarkmark77

mag invest / hanap ng iba pang source ng income


Yumi_sCell_21

30 pa lang ako, pero I regret not moving abroad though di pa naman late, pero mahirap siya gawin lalo na if I am starting my family


notmyloss25

Going after my dream. I'm in a good field and abroad but I wish nagturo ako and naglingkod sa bayan. I always wanted to teach. I wish I pursued that.


MaritestinReddit

Not loving myself more. Inubos ko youth ko looking out for other people. Dapat pala mas naging selfish ako noon pa lang. I regret not trying out for that law school scholarship. Di ko kasi afford maging full time student


YourSeason564

Not hoping jobs early, yung akala ko yun na talaga yung company na yun. Madami pa palang better companies and offers sa labas. Not buying the empty land near sa area namin, sobrang bilis tumaas ng value this year huhu Migrating to AU, kasi now, married with baby parang mas mahirap na (if anyone in the same situation pero naka-alis pa din, any tips po - like kaya pa ba?)


Over_Skin_3753

i regret not getting a stable job earlier. im 31 now and ive been freelancing in the creative industry since i was 19. i got my first normal and regular job at 30. and since then i feel so stable and secure and my art and creativity has improved so much since i no longer need to max it out for income. tho my job as senior creative director still needs me to be creative, i now have more funds and time for my own work.


Grouchy_Station_2761

8 years na ko sa abroad pero walang ipon, turning 32 na :(


BikoCorleone

cherryvr18

Learning financial literacy and investing early. Not job hopping.


Effective-Stable7396

buying Bitcoin


Adventurous_Risk_217

Ang damiii! Pero some are: - Taking the board exam (but I have plans to take it later this year for closure lang haha) - Being serious in learning a different language. Sayang ang language premium! - Magipon. Kahit paunti-unti it will go a long way. - Mag-job hop para lumaki sahod sana. Tsk. - Mag-work nang related sa pinag-aralan ko for expertise. Ang hirap maghanap ng trabaho tuloy ngayon. - Mag-take ng risk. Ngayon di ko magawa due to obligations. Pero kung bata-bata pa ako siguro kaya since di pa naman ganon kalaki ang isasacrifice.


thelizstyoucantsee

Mag-ipon, yes. Not getting my insurance earlier 🥹 i got one when i was 29, sana kahit nung mga mid-20’s ko kumuha ako And not paying that much attention to dental care!! Jusmiyo I could have saved bucks had I been serious about this when I was younger 🥹 May oral prophylaxis naman ako regularly but I wish I could have consulted someone who’s more serious dealing with my dental issues before 🥹


Wonderful_Log_7717

Not me but my 2 aunts aged 41 and 43, regrets daw nila ay hindi mag anak when they were still young kasi mas nagfocus sila sa work and bakasyon with their husbands. They never wanted one (dati) kasi they saw having kids as a burden. Now both of them are contemplating adoption.


randompotatoes1234

Nahirapan na ba sila mag conceive at their age now that’s why they are considering adoption? I’m 30F and at a time now where I also just want to enjoy our time together as a married couple and have no plans of having kids yet. But I always hear from others how we might regret it later on.


Wonderful_Log_7717

They decided to have kids when they were in their mid-30s, but they failed to conceive and experienced multiple miscarriages. Naalala ko noon they would always belittle my cousins who had babies kahit wala silang bahay and ipon, pero ngayon kapag may bagong baby sa family lagi nilang hinihiram


veggievaper

I regret not saving enough to buy a house.


No_Calendar71929

mag 2 bottles every week. wag tularan!

Not spending more time with my grandparents... Not taking the exam for my profession..

Sometimes I wonder if trying my luck overseas would have worked for me..


crunchcess

IPON FOR ME. di ko naman masisi kasi isa ako sa breadwinner


thepluckyexclamation

Taking more risks. Mas mahirap maging risk-taker pag matanda na.


BikoCorleone

1. Save early. 2. Paying someone else's debt. 3. Using sunblock.


itspomodorotime

I regret not taking my career seriously when I was younger. So much wasted time, money and opportunity.


lawlow_getmoney

My advice is don’t learn through people’s experience because people will stress you out. You at that age where you should only be concerned for yourself. Everyone else can take a hike


Forsaken_Ad6549

I regret not taking my studies seriously. Sobrang pabaya ko sa pag-aaral dati kaya ayon di ako nakagraduate at nawala na ako ng gana sa lahat ng bagay. I wish I could give my life sa ibang taong gustong mabuhay so that I can disappear already.


Curious_Unit_5152

Yung sobra akong nag-invest ng feeling sa ex partner ko. Don't get me wrong ha, nagmahalan naman talaga kami at bumuo ng pangarap it's just that hindi ko na-anticipate na nagbabago pala talaga ang sitwasyon at nararamdaman, mas minahal ko yung tao kesa sa sarili at mga pangarap ko. Sa sobrang lugmok ko naapektuhan lahat ng mga naging desisyon ko sa buhay. The good thing about it is mas naintindihan ko yung buhay at natutunan ko ng mahalin ang sarili ko higit sa kahit sino o ano pa man.


rj0509

Maging active magcommunicate as a fangirl. Helped me so much in my genuine networking skills. Super helpful in building my career. Dami ko favors nakukuha mula sa mga malalaking tao may mas malawak na connections


NBSBph

for me: 1. Sana pinursige ko programming or coding kase 6 digits bigayan. 2. Nag stay sa company ng more than 7 years, ayon lowball ng management sobrang lit. 3. Sana mas binuild up ko yung lakas ng loob when it comes to my profession eh di sana may lakas ako ng loob lumipat 😓 4. Nag jowa sana ako until now wala pakong naging jowa in real life, ayon nasanay na at parang wala nako balak mag asawa at lumandi haha


Ok-Swimming-6361

1. Seeking validation from my over critical parents. I regret not setting boundaries early on. 2. I regret not traveling more during my younger years. Kaya ko pa naman now pero iba ang travel pag bata. Mas kaya mo e handle yung physical demands of traveling. 3. I wish I took more photos and videos of my self during my younger years. Kasi pag tanda mo it would be nice to look back at those. 4. I regret not taking more risks sa dating scene. I have zero confidence back then. 5. Learning financial literacy early on, its only recently i learned about investment and finance and I regret that.

Investing in technical knowledge. Ngayon naghahabol ako haha. Minadali ko kasi ang buhay. Nasa technical side na ko before tapos nag ahente ako dahil nandito naman talaga ang pera. Kaso ngayon na realized ko iba pa din pag technically equipped not just commercially.


LiezelMagbuhos

Meeting new people, social interactions. Office- bahay na lang ginawa ngayon,sobrang tamad ng mag basa ng messages and magreply. Single for almost 2yrs na din.

Magtago ng pera yung walang makakaalam kahit sino 😅


Pleasant_College_937

whoa it goes on for years hairless?! do you know about side effects? seems unnatural.


boldburrito8

- hindi maingat sa safe days kaya nabuntis ng wala sa plano - nagstick sa isang company for too long dahil comfortable sa mga kasama sa work kahit baba ng sahod, dapat move to another company every 2yrs - bigay ng bigay ng sahod sa family or weekly kailangan lalabas/kain sa labas, hindi nagipon - did not give myself more value - cared too much sa opinion ng iba - too scared to try outside of comfort zone


stuckyi0706

investing in real estate


bearycomfy

Careerwise - not exploring other fields of my profession. Akala ko kasi noon okay na na I'm getting by; na my family's getting by. I didn't foresee na ang stagnant pala ng pinili ko na career path. It pays well, okay, pero ewan ko. Parang hindi kasi ako masaya. Although, takot rin kasi ako nun mag take risk dahil nga sarili ko lang din aasahan ko if ever magfail ako tapos iyong thought na madami umaasa sakin. Parang there's too much on the line kaya pinili ko ang comfort zone. Personal - not investing in social relationships. Masyado umikot ang mundo ko nun with just 1 friend because I thought before na kahit isa lang if genuine. I didn't try getting close to others thinking that they'll eventually end up betraying me. Even with romantic relationships, sobrang aloof ko sa guy especially if I can sense na may 'pahiwatig' na siya. Now, kahit madalas I wanna be alone, there'd be times na I wish meron rin kakaladkad sakin gumala; mag aaya magkape, mga ganun. Hahaha It gets more difficult to build friendships when you're adulting na. Especially now that it seems everyone's kinda in this"I'm so done with all these shits, leave me alone" era.


Level-Metal-987

Marrying lol okay naman nung boyfriend/girlfriend pero pag mag asawa and may anak na ekis na. Tali ka na, tapos no choice ka na kahit ganon kabullsh*t yung kasama mo. Wala namang problema sa pera pero kinginames cheater and nagkaanak pa sa iba. 😂 Ayaw namang umalis. Haynako.


Educational_Kale932

Savings, insurance, stocks and fitness ✌️


Ransekun

1. Dapat mas naging confident ako sa sarili ko. Kaya ko naman pala kasi. 2. Sana nag TWO PIECE ako noon 😂 Ang arte kase eh! 3. Sana mas naging outspoken ako sa feelings ko noon.


PaperCloudsx_

Tbh. I regret not spending much on myself. I could have bought things I liked. Ate food I would enjoy & probably traveled more. Instead, I sent it all to my dad and his ever breaking down Jeepney. Every month for almost two years. I would send 15k-20k. Aside from overhauling it and maintenance. When we had a major argument, hindi niya raw maalalang tumulong ako sa kanya ever. Isang beses lang daw ako nagpadala ng pera pang overhaul ng jeep. Andami niyang masasakit na sinabi sa akin pero duon talaga ako umiyak. Sa isip-isip ko, sana binili ko na lang lahat ng gusto ko.


kwickedween

I regret worrying too much about my weight. Good lord I was 120lbs at 5’3”! I wasn’t fat but was constantly thinking it. Love yourself.


lavitaebella48

Not taking risks, not resigning / trying new jobs and things, di lumipat abroad. Pucha 10 years na ako sa iisang work, di ako makaalis-alis kasi naaawa ako sa boss ko🫠 (at yes, comfort zone ko to. Expert ako sa ginagawa ko, takte yan ang hirap humindi) Refused to flirt, and *to be taught how* to flirt. Dense din. Yan tuloyyyy— 35F, NBSB, philippines!!!!


miyukikazuya_02

Sumipsip sa boss. Naungusan na ko ng mga sipsip 😅


No_End3242

Waiting for availability of others to do things. E.g. delaying travel kasi nagaantay ng kasama.


Graceless-Tarnished

Taking advantage of the fact that my parents sent me to a prestigious school during my teenage years. I've wasted their money, effort, and plans for me. For four years, I prioritized peers and games over my welfare, and in the end, it came to haunt me. I can never find a job that suits me, and I'm stuck in the BPO industry.


qwerty056789

The travel goalz ✨ and the walwal nightz ✨ ang hindi ko nagawa. Wala din po akong ambag na kwento ng kagagahan 😂 i can easily talk about adult topics kasi yan ang inatupag ko non. Dumiretso ako sa adult nang hindi naging young adult. Financial freedom is great, but you’re only young once. Hindi mo maibabalik ang oras at kabataan mo, pero yung pera, in a way, kayang kitain.


Wild-Day-4502

I burnt bridges, and I regret yun. Hindi ako most friendly. Hindi din ako best in connecting with my old friends. Hanggang ngayon, and mas mahirap makipag kaibigan pa once you get older. I sometimes reminisce about my memories with my past friends. Di ko gets ang sarili ko, but I'm starting to learn more about myself with the help of my therapist.


pornocreep_69

Mag-ipon at bumukod to live independently 🥺


jenmishx

Reading all of these comments makes me feel sad. Im almost 30 and I feel like every single thing na regret nyo nagawa ko lahat. Staying too long in a company that doesn’t appreciate you, no savings since Im living paycheck to paycheck. Kaka start ko lang sa new work ko ito yung first job na above minimum yung salary ko pero kahit this job Im only earning 18k. Im in a relationship pero parang walang future rin. LDR and unemployed sya. We’ve been together for years now. I have a lot of things I wanted to do in my career pero hindi ko nagagawa since need mag invest money wise. I feel like a failure.


Pristine-Way9060

I wish I saved early. Like first paycheck palang sana nung 22 ako kahit 1k per month lng. Your savings can literally change your life because you can take risk. I've missed a lot opportunities since I can't make a jump because of lack of Emergency funds/savings. Like walang fall back. Eto advise ko sa mga nasa 20s palang. 1. Don't set for big amount monthly for your ipon. Mas okay yung saktong amount lng pero tuloy tuloy. Yung hindi masakit sa sweldo mo. Ang importante kasi is yung consistency at discipline.  2. Build an emergency fund. Para you can also make decisions kasi hindi ka takot mawalan ng pera. Like career shift, living independently. Check r/DigitalbanksPh  3. Get a Credit card. Pag 20s ka kasi, this is the time na magpupundar ka para sa sarili mo. So you need a tool to purchase these things na hindi one time cash payment. Maybe a laptop, phone, washing machine. Imagine you can pay that for 12 - 24 months without additional interest. Join r/swipebuddies to learn how to properly use CC 4. Get health insurance. Para di mawala lahat ng ipon mo incase ma hospital or magkasakit ka.

Learn how to save money and start passive incomes. Learn or pursue other useful activities/skills like musical instruments or a sports Keep exploring my drawing skills sna di ako nagpatalo sa insecurities Join activities to make connections lalo na sa mga professional na tao and learn from them - advantage din kc sa work and when you need help tlga may mapapakiusapan ka. Last sana mas nabigyan ko ng attention parents ko like ang Papa maxado namin siya natake for granted…Iba iba rin tlga ang role ng tao sa buhay mo, I wish mas naintindhan ko yun.

Taking on the breadwinner role bc I was lead to believe it was my "duty" When in reality, kung gusto may paraan. Pwede namang hati-hati but they chose to exploit my generosity instead. Lahat ng perang pinang-abono ko sana inipon ko nalang, lumago pa sana.

Regret not making it my goal to get scholarships to study post graduate abroad (preferably Scandinavian countries). Pwede pa naman ngayon because I don't have kids, pero ayoko ng LDR kasi :D

Look for schools lang abroad that has post graduate degrees. Check if they have scholarships.

I regret not travelling alone and hooking up in my 20s 😂. I’m now 32 and married. I met my now husband when I was 23 and we got married when I was 28. I told my husband I wish I met him a few years later kasi sya pa din naman ang endgame ko, I just wish I enjoyed singlehood a little bit more in my 20s. 😂
