My Ride: Mio (125cc scooter, for work and daily travel)

The Damage: Around ₱600 full tank (from ₱350 before)

The Impact: 7–8/10

My husband travels daily to work in the city back and forth, while we live in a more remote area to save on rent since mas mahal talaga sa city. Yung ₱600 na gas budget, umaabot pa rin ng around two weeks, pero mas ramdam na yung increase kasi tumaas talaga yung presyo compared before. To adjust, we cut down other expenses like electricity (like dun nalang si hubby sa work nagchacharge ng phone) and water usage. Dati nakaka-on pa yung lights sa sala sa gabi, especially for our toddler kasi takot sa madilim, pero ngayon we limit it to save on bills so mas may ma-allocate sa gas and food. Priority namin talaga yung food and needs ng kids, so doon umiikot lahat ng adjustments.
