The rollercoaster ride on the stock market in the last 5 weeks was not a surprise… A correction was coming and for me not as painful as the back injury I suffered while (feeling like an overconfident adolescent) I lifted a heavy item… The injury is causing me a lot of pain and presently prevents from standing upright…
You asked - Would I have a baby????
I have been thinking about it… in the Philippines having a child is not the burden it would be in the west. Full time nannies costs about $30 a week, private education is also very affordable. The most important thing is if the relationship fails, a Philippino girl does not have claim to a man’s assets providing the man offers support to the mother and child. At present $60-80 a week would suffice. Because of low financial risks many western men have children late in life.
I will let you know when i decide what to do…
You asked - Would I take Edelyn to Australia???
Very risky… Edelyn would fall in love with Australia because Australia is paradise compared to the Philippines and every Philippino girl’s dream is to live overseas. But these girls don’t understand that a good life in Australia comes at a price and that price requires us to work, which is something Philippinos don’t like doing. Our life here... nice apartment, entertainment and restaurant-eating almost every day and night of the week, entertainment most afternoons for me, if we need something we buy it… (clothes etc). Manicures, pedicures, facials, dentistry, medical, maids, movies, holidays… ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS AFFORDABLE HERE. A weekly expenditure for the above list in Angeles is only $600. The same lifestyle in Australia would cost $3000-4000 a week so… ponder awhile…
