How old were you when you moved out?
Aug 21, 2008 by FN's Shar Bareng
In the Philippines, it's not exactly shameful to live in your parents' house even after you've graduated and joined the work force. The event of young men and women getting their own place once they turn 18 isn't as common here as it is in countries like the United States, although what's common here, perhaps, are kids leaving their home in the province to live in dormitories when they go to college in the city.
A few years into your career, you might have considered or have already moved out for convenience, especially with the rise of condominiums near workplaces like the Makati Central Business District (CBD) or the Ortigas Business District. Some, however, opt to stay with the family in spite of independence being within reach. After all, living with one's parents doesn't mean that one is useless and dependent; in fact, children often end up contributing to household expenses once they've started earning.
Do you have insurance for your car?
Jul 31, 2008 by FN's Shar Bareng
For practical reasons, like your medical or life insurances, you should also have insurance for your car. With car insurance, you're prepared for untoward incidents such as car accidents or instances when you badly need a back-up car when own car isn't available.

Among all the things they are now customizing for women, there's now also auto insurance made specifically for women. As the population of female drivers and vehicle owners in the country steadily increases, Pink Wheels, a new car insurance service, encourages women to take safety precautions for their vehicles by offering services exclusive to women.
