Leaving for good

[SimonH]

My plan is to be there within the next 5 years, by which time we'll have 5 year old daughter and my priorities will have changed somewhat
So top priority will be a decent education for our daughter..... £2000 a year?

Nice house.....buy or rent?
Decent car......very expensive there, I know.

So ........ allow for £25K a year?

When is your partner due to give birth? Greatest feeling in the world

Living in the Philippines has allowed me to spend a lot of time with the kids. Spending time with them is the greatest gift you can give and get in my opinion.

Your daughter will get a decent elementary and high school education for 2,000. University fees are a completely different ball game, as it depends on the place and whether or not they are living away from home.

Once you are settled I would definitely buy a house, as a decent pad will cost you quite a bit per month.

We have 3 cars

Hi Jake,

She's due on the 27th of this month, but I've told her that she's arriving on the 20th at 1.30pm Back home on Saturday, pub with new born on Sunday, back to work Monday

Was looking at settling in Palawan, but this apparently is too far from Shey's family Damn site closer than London, but that's different in her eyes

So, ideally will be looking at somewhere close, if not on the beach with 2 hours of Tarlac (I think this will be another thread). I drive a Range Rover here and would like something similar there but from what little research I've done it's looking unlikely so maybe something like a Landcruiser.

Snap, thats what Ems says when I mention Bohol, just 1 hour by plane from the family

Not long

Beautiful place Palawan, however it might not be the best place for your daughter to receive a decent eduction.

Great for the beach but not very practical!
