Welcome to Adulting Pinoy!
Adulting Pinoy is a site that tackles all topics related to personal finance and personal development.
More than just a blog, Adulting Pinoy also aims to be a community for Filipinos of all ages, especially those who are in their early stages of ‘adulting’.
Adulting Pinoy started out as a running joke slash pipe dream for Annie and Jay – one of the many things that they would surely love to try, but didn’t really think they could do.
Eventually, they realized that the “what ifs” both excited and challenged them. As young adults themselves, they still had a lot of questions that needed answering. At the same time, they knew that personal finance is a topic that is sorely lacking in the Philippine educational system, and that they can contribute positively to society by addressing this lack of information.
Annie opened the idea to Gwen and he immediately got on board. Together, the three brainstormed more ideas. Suddenly, the joke slash pipe dream became possible – actionable, even.
And finally, in June 2021, Adulting Pinoy was born.

Jay has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a varied interest in multiple fields, including finance. At any moment, he has 5 different projects lined up but still hasn’t finished a single one of them to date. He writes and reads to discover how he can finally commit enough to finish something. He feels like he can do that by sharing the things he’s passionate about.

Lumen is a maroon-blooded public administration graduate. When she’s not mad about the country’s current affairs or stressing herself in the corporate world, she’s likely annoying her precious Shih Tzu. She also enjoys budgeting her money and trying out different ipon challenges. After all, adulting can be hard for a probinsyana in the big city.
