Problem/Goal:
I’m currently earning around ₱500 per day, and yes, I also have ongoing loans (Skyro and BillEase). I try to manage naman and nakakapagtabi pa rin kahit papaano.
I’ve been dating this girl for almost 1 and a half months now. So far, simple dates pa lang kami—like McDo, then I bring her coffee or pastries whenever she’s busy or not free. Okay naman siya with it, pero I kinda feel like I want to step it up a bit and treat her to something more “fancy” kahit paminsan-minsan lang.
Question is, realistic ba for someone like me to plan budget-friendly but still “fancy enough” dates around NCR? Like hindi naman super mahal, but something more than fast food or quick coffee dates.
If yes:
* How much should I realistically save per week for this?
* Any suggestions kung saan pwede (yung sulit but hindi masakit sa bulsa)?
* And sa situation ko, okay lang ba to prioritize this kahit may loans ako, as long as controlled?
*Ayaw nya ng Maasim na Food more on matamis, Mainitin sya/Ayaw nya ng mainit or maiinitan sya.
*She likes overview places (kase malamig).
*She loves coffees,Sweet Pastries,Frappes.
*Dont like flowers,more on Chocolates.
I’m not trying to impress her with money naman, I just want her to feel na I can also put effort into making our dates a bit more special.
Appreciate honest advice 🙏
Thank yall!
Edit:
Just to give a bit more context, maliit lang naman yung loan ko—around 6k out of my 16k monthly salary, payable over 6 months, ₱1,200 monthly. I’ve already paid 4 out of 6 months, so patapos na rin siya. I make sure din na hindi ako nagmi-miss ng payments and naka-budget siya before anything else.
