    well, in the first place bakit ka nagpamilya na hindi mo pa kaya?

    moving forward, that's your risk living with your parents/siblings. Like 1D4LV said hindi talaga kayo makakilos ng maayos magasawa/pamilya nyan. Tiis talaga at matuto mabuhay within your means.

    We rented a condo(small/1bedroom) weeks before we got married, after a year naglipat kme sa mas malaki na apartment(2br), then ngayon after two years nakapagipon na pangdown ng sariling bahay. Tumaas kasi ang rent and nasasayangan na kme (hindi na kaya ipikitmata).

    Life is all about choices.

    hehehehe. secret....ayoko atang ilabas ang buhay and properties ko dito..... hehehehehehe.

    pero to share how we started.

    we are renting a place (two bedroom apartment) a month before we got married, the night after our wedding, we moved in to a place na hindi kagandahan, no furnitures. the only thing i got is my TV na black and white na nawawala ang picture pag climax na nung movie na pinanonood ko an electric fan and a radio. we used to eat sa hagdan because we do not have a dining table. ang lungkot nga namin nung first week namin ni misis dun, dahil naninibago kami sa place.. i grew up in a prestigous village sa south, while si misis, lumaki sa prestigous village sa QC.

    pundar muna kami ng kasangkapan the next two years (una-una lang). inuna namin ang kama dahil mahirap matulog sa papag, tapos dining table, tapos TV, tapos yung iba na, and nakakuha ako ng sarili naming bahay after five years which we still live the past 15 years.

    after namin nakakuha ng bahay, nagipon pa kami ng mga two years pa then nakabili ako ng second hand lancer singkit dahil binenta ko din yung oto ko nung binata ako para gastusin sa kasal dahil hindi din ako humingi sa parents ko.

    then the rest is history.

    but proud to say, hindi kami humingi ng maski singko sa parents namin.... kung meron man silang ibibigay, tangapin, pero hindi kami humingi.... lahat ay pinaghirapan.

    remember, everything has to start of from scratch so you'll appreciate the hardwork, the money and your relationship with your wife.

    budget? lahat sa amin nakalista, hanggang ngayon. we save 15% from our semi-monthly pay and leave the rest sa expenses.... zero liabilities kami dahil we don't use loans and we don't use credit cards, lahat cash basis. we have a target of a certain amount (e.g. Php 150,000.00), tapos pag naabot namin yun, nililipat namin sa higher yielding investments and start to build up the savings fund again.. paulit ulit lang.

    pero, hindi kami tikis.... we still eat out every weekends, go out on vacation every summer, buy necessities lang (e.g. shoes, clothes, etc..) hindi kami bumibili ng hindi kailangan so walang excess junk sa bahay.... lahat ginagamit.... yung mga kinalakihan o kinaliitang damit, we give to charity para walang wastage.

    of course sir nandun pa rin ang supporta. what they mean is that it is much better to live separately with your parents as much as possible.

    haha, yun din inisip ko eh.

    Tiis talaga, pakita mo na kaya mo itaguyod pamilya mo.
    Ako kasi after nakapagtrabaho umalis na ako sa poder ng parents ko. Sobrang strict ng dad ko - kalalaki ko pa naman.
    Nagsimula ako sa bedspacer! Hehe, mga crew sa jollibee kasama ko pa nuon.

    My only difference siguro kaya nakapagipon is that nakabuo kme ni mrs after 3yrs pa.

    same situation here TS...ipon pa ng konti kuha ng hulugang bahay,buy basic appliance...kwentahin ang income minus ang gastos,kung may sobra pa makakaraos at makakaraos din naman...talk to your wife, plan ahead...

    e.g.
    o ganito income natin
    magkano ang panghulog sa bahay?
    magkano pangbayad kuryente,at tubig?
    magkano para sa pagkain,grocery sa 1month?
    magkano allowance/baon ninyong magasawa sa pagtrabaho?
    magkano sustento mo sa magulang mo at niya?-----optional baka kaya na ng magulang kahit walang ibigay...,
    magkano ang gastos para sa bata?gatas,diaper,tubig,immunization,school?
    magkano ang pwedeng gastusin para sa ibang pangagailangan damit,gadgets,load,cable,internet,fuel,car maintenance,car registration....

    bawas luho lang sir kung kaya mo at ni missis(dapat both will agree kung ano ang possibleng maging buhay nyo)...kung hindi wag ng subukan baka pagmulan pa ng away at mauwi sa hiwalayan....

    marami akong kilala nasa 15k net ang income with one child kinakayang mabuhay na nakasarili...sa provine nga lang(pampanga)

    Haha, I would think na mura pa ang bilihin, gasolina, kotse at bahay nung 60's. kahit isang dosena pa anak mo nun eh mabubuhay mo.
