I love being self-employed

[James Hubbard]

When i was there living in the Philippines - in a cheap agricultural city 100 miles from Dumaguete (middle of nowhere) ...

my income from rent was £550 per month, and i was still rolling around in DEBT every month

My life is cheaper here than in the Philippines...

and it wasn't like i was a perpetual tourist or anything ... coz ... well ... me and the Mrs were homebirds ... and ... we had a couple of holidays, KL and Hong Kong, but ... nothing extravaganT!

So in a sense, for our lifestyle (a fairly lower middle class one) in the phils, we needed more than £550 per month

I suppose £550 dosen't go that far? but I reckoned we could live on £100 per week? reasonably comfortably, eating out most days, no aircon. Well that's how the money worked out, over a couple of months...It's always better to have more than less though.

i thought that i could live pretty cheap though, but it didn't happen lolz ...

hmmm

i guess the fact that i was there during the height (or hmmm "nadir") of the recession didn't help!
