to cut a long story short take your 500,000 to a casino and put it on the table at least you might have a chance of a return .do not invest in a parlour my friend trust me its money down the drain .your g f sounds like a high flyer which is bringing up red flags to me .as others have said 35,000 is far to much i live here so i know what im talking about .my rent is 5000 pesos a month for a 2 bed appartment so why does she need 35 k ?
