Monthly sustento amidst price hike.

Anak ko, gradeschool din, at honestly ₱15-20k a month na ang minimum para sa basic groceries, tuition, utilities kaya, before pa lang ito yan, ngayon mas mataas na talaga with all the price hikes! A few of us single moms talked about this recently at most are asking for at least ₱25-30k depending kung may extra expenses like school activities or medicines, kasi talagang walang "extra" budget na ngayon. Importante talaga na documented ang arrangement with the dad, whether verbal or written, para may basis if kailangan mo i-push through the courts, but I know it's not always straightforward emotionally. Marami sa amin nag-combine ng sustento with side hustle para makasiguro na covered lahat ng pangangailangan. Hugs, kaya mo yan!
