Adulting in the Philippines Ep.1 : Living Independent / Getting your first apartment

[@hadassahpearlfranco9230]

"Iba yung comfort kapag nandoon yung family mo." Pero what if, instead of getting the emotional and physical security and comfort that you're supposed to get from them, you only get the opposite? Ito yung mahirap sa case ko ngayon, and that's why I am now considering to live alone and gathering more ideas on how I will do it.

[@jhannalyndelcastillo7246]

Currently me.. ang hirap lang mag open up minsan sa fam. Parang wala silang tiwala na kaya mo kahit never ka naman dumepende sakanila. I have a stable job, done with college. Pero ewan.. hindi ko tuloy maiwasan mag isip na aalis nalang ako bigla at hindi magpapaalam and I know mas hindi okay yung ganun. Haays

[@jemen2447]

I feel u po.

[@heraraine7493]

Same. I'm actually planning to live alone. We have the same situation. I can no longer feel I have a family anymore. I'm 17 and now looking for some online jobs to earn money and mag move out na dito. But wala pa din akong mahanap.

[@RomsTV1530]

Same

[@robilizamanas9772]

This is why I am here hehe

[@marse8769]

Planning to live alone after I graduate (next year). Para sa akin, super healthy talaga to live alone. You'll know how to live responsibly and manage your own finances without anyone to depend on. Hopefully nga lang matapos na tong covid soon. Great video po, learned a few things :)

[@cordonjec]

Nice! I'm excited for you :) hope you could move out soon!

[@marse8769]

@@cordonjec i'm actually already in the process :) got the job yesterday and already looking for a place near my workplace ♥️

[@cordonjec]

Good for you! It's quite hard to find a job in the current economic situation! Cheers to that!

[@armandamagpayo9548]

Napanuod ko to last year pa, I'm still in the midst of separating to my family. I'm 21 years old, currently employed. Di ako makapag save, invest, business dahil sa family ko. I'm not happy everytime na uuwi, walang food pag uuwi galing work. Laging may gulo, to think na pang gabi work ko pag uwi ko sa bahay di pa ako makatulog sa gulo nila. I'm not healthy physically and mentally, may sakit ako walang tumutulong. I need this as an inspiration na mag lakas luob ma maka alis sa bahay.

[@jodenrey]

Did you finally move out?

[@lionelmanuel2989]

Kailangan mo na mag move out pag ganyan.

[@claireang-ng4808]

Biggest upside of getting your own space purposely near your work location is SAVING TIME and MONEY. :) Hours discounted from commute/travel time goes to better holistic health (more sleep, less stress, walking as exercise etc.), saved money from gas/toll/fare and more time for personal projects! Personal projects which in turn can generate you more income which in full cycle help you sustain your independent living. E.g if you into vlogging, having your own place gives you enough space, privacy and right environment to focus.

[@cordonjec]

What you've said are all totally true :) I've got nothing to add to this comment!

[@whitj.2443]

I'm 22 and living alone since I was 19. Life is great-ish.

[@StarDisc_MultiMedia]

how does it feel to move out were there any challenges

[@jeikabryllstephannielago5952]

[@yogurette1589]

How did you guys do it :0

[@shane457]

u guys are brave, I'm afraid that no one would take care of me if ever I get sick, I dunno how to pay bills on my own lol, i'm afrad to be lonelyyyyyyy, but I want to leave this toxic household tho

[@shane457]

@Jan abegail Nudalo be strong and patient once u become financially independent u can finally get out of that chain

[@BRIANxDARK]

Just turned 19 and thinking of what to do now, looking for work ofc but it's kinda hard because Im still a senior high student.

[@sjsjdjdjdjxjxdipowisjsjdhd4812]

I felt i wasted my life. Im 27 now living with my parents. I always want leave.

[@ASH-cd9lq]

this is the motivation i needed i dont wanna be stuck with people who gaslights me and never too responsiblity or apologized for the trauma they caused and made me an insurance plan, i dont wanna hate myself at 27 regretting not choosing myself for the sake of hoping for them to change.

[@yayayamidali]

I'll start living alone next year. Thanks for this. Great content in-adjust ko nalang yung playback speed. 😅

Good for you 👋🏼, sorry mabagal for you yung video 😂

[@joyddee]

Thank you for this! I need advices and knowledge when it comes to this topic, ‘cause I’m actually planning to move out and to live alone after my graduation. It just, it was so hard to find a job especially if you’re a fresh grad and as well, we’re on a pandemic right now. Hoping everything will get better soon and things will fall into its right places. 😊

[@cordonjec]

Yep hopefully things will get better soon! 😁

Its nice to live independently, but when your the bread winner of the family you can't just leave them.

What to do when you want to live independently but you are worried about your parents

[@paige172]

invest in their health po. (e.g. vitamins, whole foods, etc.) just an opinion tho :D

[@cloud334]

live in an area close to your parents

[@rjpatnugot]

Sir Jerico anung brand ng mic mo for podcast?

[@sensei12345]

I'm 21 and living alone since 1st year college (16 years old)

[@cordonjec]

Good for you, it really helps you to be responsible and independent if you start living on your own at an early age 👍🏼

[@princessdomingo5195]

I think it depends on the situation.. What if your parents is having a medical condition at need ng care? I think it really rooted to want is need first.. We all want to create a life .. Basta kung kaya, go lang pero kung gusto mo lang magmove out to runaway from the responsibility hindi MUNA

[@kokak9540]

Buong 1st year to 2nd year college ko na covid nabaliw lang ako 🤣 kasi walang allowance ni piso Better to have a job in move out but first you need na maging mental prepared suddenly mga skills na dapat ko matutunan more of english communication skills and other skills para maging suitable sa workplace pag nag apply 🥰

[@andreabuena3948]

Im 18, and planning to work while studying. May nag paaral po sa akin but still financially struggling. I want to help my mom and my siblings. I live in rizal but study in qc. Should i get a room of my own? How will i be able to balance my life, work, school, and church?

[@cordonjec]

regarding don sa first question should you get a room of your own I assume you'll get a space near sa school mo if the time you'll save travelling from school to your own space will create income greater don sa rent it is definitely worth it. Regarding sa life balance, this is just my opinion instead of finding balance look for life harmony find a lifestyle where you could fit in work,school,family, friends and church. It is fine to let go of some things or have a fewer time on things that you could prioritize before, part of growing up is having responsibilities and having responsibilities means prioritizing your time and attention. Learn what's most important to you and dedicate your time and energy on that.

[@axrizelisnotdumb7852]

nice questions sir keep it up! hmm kelangan lang siguro maeducate pa tayong mga pinoy on why we should live alon or not hehe! any way great job wish you all the best!

[@karyllecervantes5656]

Is it ok to move out at 18?

[@cordonjec]

I don't actually know cause there are 2 good arguments on your question and it really depends on your capabilities. Argument no.1 it is good to move out early because it teaches you to be independent at an early age. Argument no.2 it is fine to live with your family and save as much money as you can first, it really helps to not have a lot of expenses earlier in your life cause moving out will give you a rental payment to pay monthly. Just pick the argument the suits you
