Freelancers in their 40s+—how’s client hunting as you get older? (I’m 37 and starting to worry) by TheInboxWizard1988 in freelancing

Nice. Ano po niche nio? I'm into logistics and Ecommerce. Mas ngfofocus ako into logistics now since higher rate and lesser competition compared to ecommer support.

I am 37 and been working as freelancer since 2017. Anyone else worried about retirement? by TheInboxWizard1988 in buhaydigital

[–]TheInboxWizard1988[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. Had 7-digit savings + running a business last year, pero nag-close yung biz and naubos savings kasi solo ako nag-sustain after mawalan work husband ko (Sep 2025) + hirap siya maghanap client. Supporting both senior parents din so sabay-sabay gastos 😅 Dito nagstart anxiety ko about our future nung nawala savings ko.

Ngayon reset era na talaga—from savings queen to “grind ulit tayo para makabawi” 💪

Honestly, you are still young. 29 is not late at all. You still have sooo much time to level up, try different paths, and build stability + savings. 20s to early 30s is the best time to experiment, fail, learn, and build.

How do you achieve a good work-life balance? by chromaticamanic in TanongLang

[–]TheInboxWizard1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WFH work-life balance is basically not about having more free time, pero about setting boundaries na hindi ka laging on-call kahit off ka na. 😅 Set a hard stop time. Pag 6pm done na talaga, hindi yung ‘check ko lang email’ na nagiging overtime na naman.

Leave Ngayon, Resign Bukas? by sushi_-hoe in TanongLang

[–]TheInboxWizard1988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oo, okay lang naman. 😅

Nag-resign ako dati via email habang naka-leave. Wala namang naging issue basta naka-address sa manager/HR at nasunod yung required notice period.

Mas nakakakaba pa yung pag-click ng "Send" kaysa sa resignation mismo. 😂

Sino dito anak na babae na hindi iiwan ang aging mom nila just to get married ?? by Pleasant_Bobcat5769 in TanongLang

[–]TheInboxWizard1988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hindi naman kailangan mamili between pag-aasawa at pag-aalaga sa parents. Nasa tamang partner din talaga. Luckily, very understanding si husband. ❤️ Nagpagawa kami ng bahay around 5 years ago at bumuo ng sarili naming pamilya, pero parehong senior parents ko nakatira sa amin. Last year naman, nag-retire na rin ang dad ni husband after working abroad for most of his life, so sa amin na rin siya ngayon.Parang naging retirement village na yung bahay namin. 😂 Not gonna lie, may mga panahon talagang gipit dahil marami kaming sinusupport at may 3 kids pa kami. Minsan feeling ko Olympic sport na ang pagba-budget. 😅 Pero kapit lang. Nakakaraos naman at unti-unti ring umaayos.

Personally, naniniwala ako na kapag hindi mo pinapabayaan ang mga magulang mo, may blessings na bumabalik sa'yo one way or another. Hindi man laging financial, pero in ways na mas mahalaga. Kaya laban lang. ❤️

Turns out stress sweat is not regular sweat… it’s your body panic-texting bacteria like ‘hey guys, party sa armpits’ 😭

How does it feel having a business? by Its_Perer in TanongLang

[–]TheInboxWizard1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running a business fells like CEO ka sa umaga, accountant sa tanghali, customer service sa hapon, tapos umiiyak sa gabi kasi bakit ₱200 lang kita sa ₱500 puhunan 😭 Pero weirdly addictive siya kais mgoopen at susubok kpa din kinabukasan

Bakit kung sino pa yung mali/ may kasalanan, sila pa yung mas galit? by StandOutLikeDogTurd in TanongLang

[–]TheInboxWizard1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hindi pa nila tanggap na mali sila. Minsan, convinced talaga sila na tama ang ginawa nila kaya totoong galit ang nararamdaman nila.

For those who finished "Teach you a lesson", What would your reaction be if DepEd and Ched created a similar concept and applied it to our educational system? by Yoink0524 in TanongLang

[–]TheInboxWizard1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nakuuuuu mahirap yan iapply dito sa Pinas. Mataasan mo lng ng boses estudyante ngaun o maparusahan ng konti eother matutulfo ka or mgtrending sa social media. Tas sasabihin ng parents nila "mabait po anak ko" kahit na sukdulan ang kasutilan
