The last time she watched our house for us when we went on vacation she burned the kitchen down, my one experience with renters was even worse. I'll probably go with the psycho sister plan. Wow , and I thought I had a few worries in all my future plans, joking aside keep your house but get a few extra fire extinguishers . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference from having the working week off and pleasing yourself what you would like to do and where you would like to go to, and even doing nothing has been great, no rushing and trying to do everything in just the 2 days at the weekend when the rest of the world is trying to do the same. Myself and even Emma are now ready to start this next adventure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good amount for a typical Filipino family I think that saying of live like a king for 1000 a month is about 20 years old so since then things have changed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes after a few beers I post things that I regret, even though it what true she is my sister. She currently stays with my mom and dad who are in there 80's in a two bedroom townhouse, my dad is okay with it but my mom is English and she can't let it be, no one can spew venom like a bitter old English women IMO, she's old school "you made your bloody bed now lay in it" My poor dad is caught in the middle and that's why I will ask her to move here to defuse an explosive situation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panama was advertising $1,000 a month retirement until two years ago. One of their government agencies or associations had television commercials in cable channels. The psychology, whether the Philippines or Panama, is to exclaim, "Heh! I have $2,000. I should move overseas."
