The only down side is family back home too many demands
£50 per month on food, less than £2 a day! You shouln't try to live like your still living in a third world country and scrimp on food etc just because of the demands of your family back in Phils and I think it's disgusting that they expect you to do so. They obviously think that you are so rich that you could afford to send them much more and the longer you continue like this, the more they will expect and the less they will try to do for themselves.
