Middle Class people of PHReddit, what is your lifestyle like?

I still live with my folks. Share with the electricity and internet bills so that they don't kick me out. They're both retired and have no financial obligations aside from meds and food. Dad has a couple part-time teaching gigs to cover for any other payments, luxuries and junk. I'm practically a leech at home :P

Currently recovering from 4 months worth of debt due to being recently unemployed. Aside from debt payments, my salary pretty much goes to games and merch. Whatever I earn goes to debt, bills, food and games. Bank account's pretty much dried up and I'm living from paycheck to paycheck. After I get back on my feet financially, I plan on following through with one of my business ideas within the next year. And probably investing in stocks or something... iunno.

A for my daily work routine: Morning coffee at Dunkin' - Work 4 hours - Pack lunch or cheap cafeteria food - Work another 4 hours - Walk to the terminal - Dinner - Games - Sleep

I could take the family van to the office but considering I work at Makati CBD, I'd rather not deal with parking + gas + traffic. I hop a ride with my dad in the morning and take a UV Express van after work. I prefer walking to riding a jeep or tricycle over short distances (<2 Kms). Uber is also an occasional option but I rarely take one going to work.

On weekends I do minor house work, my own laundry, wash the dishes, and whatever other errands I get asked to do. Afterwards, I just play games (PC, WiiU, 3DS), catch up on YouTube subs and read news.

I'm a very solitary guy and do most of my socializing on the internet. I prefer speaking in English, but because it's perceived as "mayabang" to do so, I resort to speaking in Tagalog when talking among my peers ang colleagues. Very few friends IRL so I don't really do much clubbing or eat-outs or even movies and crap.

In a nutshell, I'm a broke ass gamer nerd with a pretty good support system. Working hard towards being able to support myself independently along with my various hobbies.
