sorry to hear that you lost your job tony...but then its not the end of the world. we have a friend here who have the same situation as you...he married his filipina gf last year. though he has a regular job having savings in the bank is very hard to achieve...my point is you're not alone...just focus with your plans and think sharp. i tell you wife can be so sarcastic at times ( i should know) if she loves you she will wait a bit longer and give you moral support if not in terms of money.
