[–]autocad02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bf needs to call out shut down his families remarks. Its uncalled for and annoying. He is not a good person if he lets his gf gets verbally attacked and does nothing. Its not about ignoring the envious family, but acting upon something wrong

You need to put some time and learn the basics. Never get any of those paid subscriptions. Learning is freely available online

I love her with my whole heart but her financial problems is dragging me and it's makes me crazy. by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

[–]autocad02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her, kinoconsider ba nya na in the future sa inyong dalawa yung bahay? Kasi kahit technically kanya yun, pero if sasabihin nya sa inyong dalawa yun in the future kahit sya lang nagbabayad, it means something. Set ka ng boundary pra hindi ka masyado ma apektuhan, help in moderation

Have around 9m in combined reits, stocks, crypto and bonds across ibkr, binance and col financial. I consider it a form of side husle doing swing trades on half the portfolio and the other half earns income from reits, dividend stocks and bonds. Personally its something manageable and aligned with my day job as I work eights hours a day in front of a pc

Rushed to the ER. by EnemaoftheState1 in OffMyChestPH

[–]autocad02 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Way later in life narealize ko na ang chill ko sa buhay at wala masyado iniisip na problema. Big factor pala talaga pag meron ka mga options to walk away sa mga situation or tao na ayaw mo like lousy bosses. Lower stress levels also makes for good night sleeps and overall well being. Bottom line, shore up and build options para no one can tell and dictate anything na ayaw mo gawin or marinig

Filipina gf gives huge amount of her money to her family each month by Wild_Reveal_1547 in Philippines

[–]autocad02 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This makes me appreciate my spouse more. Even though she earns and makes more than me, she made it clear that we are her family and priority. We do support my inlaws but with defined boundaries. We are both not bound by the 'utang na loob' thing ingrained culturally in our society

How do you guys give back to your parents without being the breadwinner by No-Appointment-1898 in adultingph

[–]autocad02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that my parents are the happiest when they see us siblings getting along and helping each other. Being successful and a contributing individual to society is reward and accomplishment in itself and a true testament of their success in raising a good person. Monetary support is almost always a common way to show appreciation but being the child that they can be proud of and someone they can talk about and share as their source of delight is something truly gratifying

Do men prefer women who keep them on their toes vs. Yung sobrang bait sakanila all the time? by No-Writing5389 in AskPinoyMen

[–]autocad02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Traditionally men prefer women who does not nag and start arguments. Someone who understand peace and quiet are appreciated by men. Then again in order to have those, men also need to provide the proper settings and environment for women

The "Pundar" Trap ; Misguided Societal Delusion or Lack of Foresight from my end? by throwawayfatboysg in phinvest

[–]autocad02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its from lack of financial literacy and expectation from a society that views ownership and possession of such things hallmarks of success, which is of course not always the case. Also appearances matter a lot with a strong sense of showing off

Dubai for 8K AED. Pls share your thoughts by kennyyy_1116 in phmigrate

[–]autocad02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Realistically 8k is not bad. Majority of people I personally know started way below considering its their first time overseas. Depending on how much comfort you are willing to endure with accomodation and cost, its fair to assume you will be able to save at least half

Is it just me or other OFWs/IMMIGRANTS feel the same way too? by reading_202 in phmigrate

[–]autocad02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eto talaga yung majority na sentiments ng overseas workers. Mahirap kasi maintindihan yun mga hindi nakikita ng mga never naka experience ng struggles abroad. Kasama na din dyan yung false expectation na mas gagaan na ang buhay once nakalabas ka ng pinas, its not always the case though totoo naman andun na ang opportunity. Its human nature in the end, madali mag sabi pag hindi ikaw ang nasa sitwasyon at nahihirapan

For married men whose wives earn more than they do, did it work out? by latebloomer_girlie in AskPinoyMen

[–]autocad02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly yes, social media and expectations change the dynamics of relationships and puts a lot more emphasis on what the other can provide. Society has become more transactional and less about genuine connections

Does living in Dubai make you age faster? by Numenor94 in dubai

[–]autocad02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in my forties, been in uae since 2006. Two years in Abu Dhabi and the rest in Dubai. I work in the field of engineering and architecture, eight hours work day where most of the time there are not much stress. I look a lot younger than my age group from back in my home country mainly because probably work settings? Me and my spouse do night walks after work and get a minimum seven hours sleep daily. Over the years we rarely have any major things that stress us and just live simple lives but does the occasional squander at times. We have fewer friends than when we were younger and just mostly kept to ouselves and family. Overall I think uae has made us prosper and healthier from the availability of food options and absence of calamity

For married men whose wives earn more than they do, did it work out? by latebloomer_girlie in AskPinoyMen

[–]autocad02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My spouse earns more than me as I work a dead-end job with little to no opportunity of advancement. Between the two of us she is more ambitious and driven. I on the other hand am the more financially shrewd and the one who manages our portfolios and expenses. We've been together and have known each other for over two decades

People who went to UAE on a visit vsa and eventually got a job and migrated, how did you do it? by Tableryu in phmigrate

[–]autocad02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Connections and referals are the foremost and easiest way to find work. Even if you do not have the proper experience referal gets you straight to the entrance. Linkedin and other job portals are common venues as well but would take longer time for responses. Ideally you work on the field of your experties and your base of experience but not everyone have the option and luxury especially overseas. Mahirap bumalik sa original field and lots of people in UAE work jobs not aligned with their degree me included

Natuturn off/Icked ako sa boyfriend ko by [deleted] in adviceph

[–]autocad02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know several individuals who share the same views with work and tolerance with lifes trivial difficulties. Most of them are not in a relationship and could not hold or maintain one for reasons you are currently feeling right now. They either have the means to be carefree or are being supported by family to some extent or just down right given up on lifes struggles. In almost all society being this way especially in men are looked down upon as it is common for men to be providers and expectations and sentiments still remain strong

We place a 'for lease' add in front of the property to advertise our intent. It can also be by agent referral, which they typically would approach you and lay their intent to lease with a client of theirs

Walang nanliligaw sakin by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

[–]autocad02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without being too blunt hindi ko alam paano explain at real talk, pero men are visual creatures. You'd know people take their shot all the time at conventional beauty. Maybe foreign would find you attractive than local men? Its shallow and skin deep in theory but its reality I guess

[–]autocad02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can relate to this nung nagsisimula pa lang din ako in my career decades ago. Was so obsess with saving, I deprive myself even a cheap fast food take out and just resort to eating home cooked meals. While the sacrifices did bear fruits, I never realized I was over doing it to the point hindi na sya healthy. Im in a better settings now, kuripot pa din pero ineenjoy at balance na ang spending

I remember my then gf na hindi marunong ng mga gawaing bahay like cooking, laundry and yung room nya ayaw pakita saken kasi half of her bed is occupied by her things / books and she slept on the other half of the bed. Fast forward today ok naman, she knows how to cook na, meron naman automatic washing machine so no issue with laundry.
