Actress Kris Bernal recently gave fans a glimpse into the financial challenges of building a home, sharing her humorous take on budgeting struggles through a TikTok video that resonated with many. In the clip posted on November 5, Bernal, standing in her unfinished house, joked about feeling the “symptoms” of financial strain due to the high costs of construction.
“POV: Building a house is expensive,” she wrote, adding with a laugh, “I need to get back to acting already.”
The post sparked plenty of laughter and support from her followers, many of whom commented on experiencing similar “symptoms” in their own financial lives.
Bernal, who has been focusing on her family since welcoming her daughter Hailee in August 2023, began construction on her home in 2020 with her husband, businessman Perry Choi. The couple tied the knot in a church ceremony in 2021, with their home project continuing as a work in progress.
