Pero kung plan nyo naman na mag retire sa Pinas OK na rin sa Sg kau. How about education? Maganda rin kasi ang education sa Aus compared sa sg. Stress-free. Ung public transpo in Aus, preferably is to drive ur own car it's easy to move around. Sg is short term for me unless u get ur citizenship in sg. And wala work life style balance. Goodluck sa planning nyo.

Ang problem lang namin ngayon is yung NS ng son ko when time comes.

@KillerQT, your situation is complicated due to your son's NS but if you can look at it as serving NS could become a positive reinforcement in your sons character then I'd say go for it. Win-win situation as they say. At least they get to learn something unlike the ROTC days where you just got through the motion to complete requirements.

Unless hindi na talaga babalik ang son ko sa SG which not so good din. Pero its a risk that we can take in the future. He's currently holding PH and SG passport. By the age of 21 he needs to decide whether he will take up PH or SG citizenship. But we are intending to get OZ passport as well if ever we decide after 4yrs in OZ.
