usapang sweldo: What is your starting salary? and your current salary?

[eLgimiker0]

last salary, 10k 

[angelo]

salary ko... basta nasa 5 digits per month 

shocking 

[carpediem]

^ hmmm pwedeng 10,000 - 99,999

[angelo]

mahina ang sarcasm.
well that was expected. hindi ba ganyan naman ang range ng mga employees nowadays?

kung 4 digits, wala ng extra money to spend for internet usage and burn hours posting on PGG.
kung 6 digits, he would be somewhere else enjoying the money. haha
(that's what I could think of)

[carpediem]

Unless minimum wage earner. By the way magkano na pala minimum wage ngayon?

There are people who can still waste their money on non-essential things even when they could barely make ends meet.

[angelo]

ang alam ko kapag minimum wage earner, hindi tumutungtong ng 5 digits ang net pay per month.

iba iba ang minimum per area.

based on our latest study, cellphone load is still the priority (which may not be considered a basic need right now)

Reviving this.

What do you guys think is the lower range of monthly salary required for a decent living in Metro Manila? By decent I mean has extra money to buy some leisure, and still has something left for savings.

IMHO,
for a single man - enough na ang 30k
for a family man with 2 kids - enough na ang 60k

[carpediem]

Oo kulang ang 30k, unless di mo na kailangan magbayad ng rent o may sarili kang bahay

And of course, for a single man, kailangan mo din ng extra to be in a relationship. Liability ata to have a partner hehehe

exactly. ang gastos ng may karelasyon. gaya ko halimbawa dati, when we eat out, i'd spend between 2000-2500.  we order a lot kase. hehe. tapos anjan pa ung mga regalo. phone bill pa. umabot dati bill ko ng 10k! buti na lang ngayon nakaunlimited na ko. tapos ung mga out of town trips pa. as much as possible, ako lang talaga gumagastos. for someone na may lifestyle kagaya ko, ang 30k ay di kakasya sa kalahati ng buwan. buti na lang ngayon mejo makakapagtipid na ko.

di ba dutch treat kapag date??

[incognito]

^depende sa tao. ako kase masaya ako pag ako ung gagastos. kahit na mag ooffer to pay si gf, tatanggihan ko.

[incognito]

it has also something to do with the male ego siguro.

[carpediem]

@fox: hmm. pano naging asset? kasi mayaman ba siya kaya siya nagbabayad ng expenses niyo?

asset = ari in filipino?

@incognito: laking tipid yun now that you're single again

@ram: di ata lahat na babae pumapayag. yung iba high maintenance

[ram013]

I agree ung iba high maintenance pero once na matagal na relationship nyo you can talk about it nman na
