Leon Barretto, Nagsasariling sikap!

After maka-graduate sa college last year, nag-move out na pala si Leon Barretto sa bahay ng inang si Marjorie Barretto at may sarili na itong condo unit.

Nagtapos si Leon ng kursong Bachelor of Arts degree in Integrated Marketing Communication from the University of Asia and the Pacific. Enjoy nga raw siya sa adulting stage ng buhay niya.

“It was definitely challenging at first but it’s just so rewarding because it happened post-graduation. So I’m currently working right now. I’m a full-time content creator so everything that I’m doing is honestly just to make the space better. But it’s nice to have my own personal space and something that I can call a safe haven di ba?” sey ng 23-year old brother ng aktres na si Julia Barretto. 

At bilang independent person, biggest challenge ni Leon ay ang living solo at pagbayad ng lahat ng expenses.

“I pay for my electricity bill, my rent and all of that. But again, it’s just so rewarding and it just makes me more motivated to work. When it comes to my biggest expense, alam mo, I can’t really think of anything. I think it’s just as a whole, you know. 

“Whatever I pay monthly, it’s medyo also quite pricey so I think that’s a big expense already in itself. Thankfully kasi, I was so smart with budgeting all the things that I bought for my house.”

Tinutulungan naman daw si Leon ng kanyang Ate Dani pagda­ting sa budgeting. 

“Actually it was with the help of my eldest sister, Dani. Whatever I earn, I distribute it into three accounts. So the first account is definitely for my condo, either that be for the rent, the electricity, the water bill, the wi-fi bill. And then the second account is for personal use, my everyday spending. And then the third one is the travel fund. Because I feel like good investment ‘yung travel. So I’m going to go around the world this year for sure. So I’m very excited.”
