I'm slowly getting pressured in life

25M. Currently an engineer for an airline here in the Philippines.

I'm already 25, and turning 26 this year. I earn about P40K/month after deductions, a big chunk goes to my own cost of living, another chunk goes to my parents who are separated so there goes 2x of what my share should be. On top of that, other gastusin for my 2 younger sisters, not to mention ome of my sisters is starting college this year. Both parents do not work anymore.

I haven't invested in anything because I can't afford to, and there's just almost nothing to invest to with such little extra money after all obligations. I've been dreaming of getting an iPhone but can't even buy one phone for myself because it would take a very big chunk of my salary even if installment. My friends are getting engaged and some married left and right, others are enjoying their 6 digit salary here in the Philippines and abroad and living their best years, others are getting their own brand new cars, houses, land. On the other hand, no employer abroad wants to take a chance on me, and I don't blame them. I only have about 3 years of working experience. and the sad part is, I know my line of work will never make me rich or significantly improve my current standing here in the Philippines.

Feel ko sobrang left behind ko, I want to do a lot of things, and I just can't. I'm not afraid to try new things and to just take the risk. I am just not capable right now. My wardrobe consists of cheap shirts that cost P300 and below, gusto ko makabili without thinking about the price when it's P500 and above. I'm doing everything I can. To top it all off, I'm rapidly gaining weight, I feel my ugliest and I'm in no shape whatsoever.

Sorry kung magulo yung construction. I'm just typing out my thoughts.

I do still have some hope, and I am still grateful of what I currently have achieved. I don't want to come off as ungrateful, I know some people have it worse than me.

I know I'm not the only one and not alone.
