Living Solo/alone

[raffyraffy]

Could not agree more, value or independence, financial planning and just being mindful or yourself

[metaldog]

Being alone is being free to do everything your wallet permits!

[joots]

Tried being alone, nakaka inip lng

Need to move around a lot or have many hobbies

[Jeff Hardy]

You get wiser along the way.

[pinktounge]

college pa lang already did it. matuto ka magmanage ng budget mo kasi alam mo naman na hindi infinite ang binibigay sayong pera ng mga magulang mo.

I lived alone for more than a year. It was my first time to experience to walk around the house naked. Very liberating indeed. It was fun cause it’s all your own rules. With regards to cleaning, I hired one of the janitress at work to clean my apartment every weekend (day off nya). What I dont like is washimg the dishes so I ate out most of the time. Yun mga labahin ko naman I bring to the laundry every other week.

[Andie711]

Been living alone for 3years. Saves a lot sa laundry. Tshirt and panty all day

[francis_0170]

Would like to experience this again lalo na sa abroad. Spent 3mos sa Canada. 

[hero-uy]

most of the time masaya tipid sa kuryente at tubig pag bored na galagala sa labas mg pahangin

[Blindcorner]

Ok yung solo pero may mga gabi na iniisip mo na sana may kasama ka na pwedeng makausap.

[Iceman7]

I live alone and won’t have it any other way 😌

[Slapsoil]

How much should you be earning to live alone comfortably?

[Harbor]

Never experienced living alone, I mean aside from the 1 - 2 weeks of business trips.

I Would Highly Recommended This to every one specially our young members here. Once you have a stable job, find a place for yourself and be Independent. That's what I did before. THE LIFE LESSONS you will learn will be PRICELESS. It will definitely contribute in your Success in your Career and in your Life. Decision Making palang siguradong magiimprove ka na No One will influence you with your decison, so if you made the wrong choice No One to Blame but yourself. You will Learn how to Budget your Salary at an Early Age, No More Mom and Dad to pay the Bills or Brother or Sis to Split the BIlls with, Its All on You. So you will really Budget your Salary and this will Push You Harder To EARN MORE!

 

The Best Perk in Living Alone is You Can Do Everything You Want!!! And No Need for Motels, You Can Bring Your Date Home. Hahaha.

Just a Follow up to My Post last year.

To our young and not so young single members I hope you will try Living Alone even for just a year or 2, I think every one must experience this. LIFE LESSONS YOU WILL LEARN ARE PRICELESS AND WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON, THE PROS OUTWEIGHS THE CONS.

Alone.

Liberated slash Solo

[yukiteruu]

I want to start living alone but I have no idea how to start.

Im not even sure if my monthly salary (around 20k) is enough to sustain myself although di naman ako pihikan at ready naman ako kumain ng de lata oftenly.

Siguro my main worries are laundry and rent. 

The idea of living alone being free to do what you want interests me so much. I will be meeting a friend soon that would help me try to find an apartment that i can rent so hopefully I can start from there.

To veterans out there, may I ask what should be my top priorities when solo living, aside from being good with budgeting? Any noteworthy skills I should learn or know beforehand?

I think you have to itemize it bro...,

say for example:

HOUSE RENTAL: P 8,000

ELECTRICITY: P 2,000

WATER: P 500

INTERNET: P 1500

FOOD: 6,000

MISCELLANEOUS: (gimik, etc..) P 5,000

GROCERIES: 4,000 

ayan, just a rough example, sa miscellaneous you can put there sa labada etc

Traditionally and culturally, we live in a multi-family household. The “living alone” idea is relatively new probably through western influence particularly from the Americans. 
There will always  be some pros and cons on whatever lifestyle you choose.

It will really depend on how much is your monthly overhead if your monthly salary will do, specifically your rent, power, water and internet. Then you could budget the rest, set aside more budget for food of course dont settle for canned goods and instant food everyday, you need to stay healthy and so that your brain will function well for your everyday work and activities.

[Tata Moran]

Living alone since become independent.

[Mehdi!]

Lived alone for the past 4 years. People come and go to my flat. I control what goes around me. At 44, my circle gets smaller every day and thing are peaceful. The problem now is when I get on vacation and around people, it gets very awkward for me.

[Asterisk and Ampersand]

Used to it.

Okay na budget ito.  Gayahin ko except I'll remove groceries and move it to Miscellaneous.
