3 million is nothing.. it will be gone in as little as 3-5 years, trust me that's absolutely nothing. kahit sa pinas.. a million does not give you a comfy life anymore. the cost to fix your house will be around a quarter of a million..eh kahit camilla homes ngayon nasa 1 million plus na eh. bahay bah yan ng ibon if you think na 3 million will be enough to build a house?
then there's expenses and etc.
how much na tuition sa school ngayon? for 2 kids.. minus mu yan sa 3 million mu.. ilang years lang yan sa tuition? then how much na ngayon kotse im sure you will buy one kasi millionaire na feeling mu? kahit 2nd hand..mag kano na bah..minus mu yan sa 3 million mu. then how much do you think will be left? how long do you think 3 million will last??
tapos if hanapin ka ng mga credit card company or sino galing yan 80 thou aud mu.. do you know a lawyer cost about 10 thou pesos per appearance in court? kahit 1 hour lang sila ka korte.. 10 thousand pesos na yan! so minus mu yan sa 3 million mu...
or let say..d ka nila mahanap kasi naka tago ka.. pero how much do you think it will cost you para magtago??
mahina ka ata sa math if you think with 3 million pesos solve na buhay mu.. hahahaha!
some ofw have this mentality that they have reach a million they are rich na.. but to be honest, yan ang reason based on a study i read bakit yung mga ofw natin sa saudi even after working there for 10 years, they still don't have their finances sorted because they are not money smart.
let's say mag business ka .. 3 million yung capital mu. eh wait, maraming minus na pa la yung 3 million mu so magkano kaya will be left for capital?
business is a hit and run business.... hindi lahat ng business will make it. trust me, my family has business in our blood. sa pinas, to be able to make it and sustain it, you need to go big time.. 3 million is nothing...!
ma uubos lang yan and if you run away with your million..where and how will you get the chance to get the same amount of money again?
and whoever you got the 80 thou aud from.. they will surely come after you. pinas and oz, they have good relations po so meaning if you have a case in oz they can request the philippine govt through the nbi to catch you and stand trial.. so there isn't really a place to hide.
and i don't think 3 million is worth going to jail for.. my god, that's just like stealing a pajero brand new and then you try to resell it but you won't get the same amount anymore.

also if you don't pay off your credit card.. sa credit checks po highly unlikely you will ever get a new credit card even sa pinas and also po hindi na po kayo makaka alis nyan sa pinas.
also if your kids grow up and they get nbi clearance or what to go out sa pinas.. baka po ma sabit sila dahil sa inyo..nasa birth certificate po yung pangalan mu for them to apply for passports/ nbi clearance.
if you do this now.. you are not thinking of your kids' future. it's kinda selfish thing to do.. mayaman ka for a while..pero long term how will it affect you and your family??

Pasensya na po kung naiisipan ko pa na itakbo. Nakakasilaw kasi ang pera. Naisip ko e hindi naman ako mahahabol sa pinas. At kapag natayo na yung boarding house, meron na kaming pang gastos sa aming basic needs. Yung matitira e para sa pag aaral ng mga anak ko at kapatid. Tapos, e mag tratrabaho pa rin ako sa pinas.
Maliit lang po ang sweldo ko dito sa australia at eksakto sya para sa aming lahat. Konti lang po ang ipon ko at aabutin pa ng 5 to 10 years para mapagawa ang bahay namin. Hindi po ako maka ipon at sa unang tingin e eto yung madaling paraan....

Hwag ka po papasilaw sa pera, in time you will earn more at makakaipon ka din kahit pakonti konti, Konting tiis bro. Kung maliit ang sahod mo jan sa AU, what more dito sa pinas. Do you think you will earn better here than there? God will provide....Just pray and work hard

marami na ang ganyang istorya sa UAE.. noon dahil sa sobrang luwag ng bank giving credit cards with very high limits (as high as 1.5Mphp), approving loans as much as 3Mphp.. in total, you can get as much as 4.5M pesos...
marami ang na-engganyo, marami ang tumakas pauwi ng pinas...
ngayon, ang isang resulta na-ban na ang mga pinoy sa entering UAE, na-ban ang mga pinoy sa bangko, paghindi ka-gandahan ang company, hindi ka makakakuha ng credit card... at meron talgang bangko na hindi talaga sila nag-accept ng pinoy... ang laki ng effect sa ating lahi..
i've heard some stories, na merong tumakas na pinoy, tapos nag migrate. One time, pauwi yata sya pinas galing dun sa country na pinagmigrate nya, nag-emergency landing ang plane sa UAE, nahuli sya at kinulong...
nagloan din ako, pero hindi ako tumakas, kahit wala na ako sa UAE, binayaran ko sya monthly..
dahil alam ko na hindi lang sa akin ang effect nun pag tumakas ako, ang bilis ng karma ngaun.. digital na...

Maaring nakapag-uwi ka nga ng
malakingmaliit na halaga pero kapalit nito ay paranoia na bigla ka na lang i-grab sa airport dahil may kaso ka. Yung isang dating ka-opisina ko na may tinakbuhang utang dito sa UAE, may offer sya sa Qatar pero natatakot syang baka damputin na lang sya sa airport. Mahilig kasi ang karamihan sa atin sa "one-time big-time" na deals. Think of the long-term consequences.Tsaka ipagpapalit mo sa Pinas ang buhay mo sa Oz? Most of us in this forum are fighting tooth and nail to claw their way out of the Philippines, tapos ikaw kabaligtaran ang iniisip mo? Huwag kang ma-distract sa pera. Stick to the plan. Eyes on the prize!

"Di bale na mag-zero huwag lang mag-negative."
This is one of the principles that I live by. Iba pa din ang peace of mind na idudulot syo pag wala kang kautang-utang sa katawan. Kaya ako kahit walang ipon ok lang basta wala naman akong utang. :-)

Meron akong dalawang anak at mga kapatid na pinapa aral.
Alam kong masama ang binabalak ko pero para sa kapakanan ng pamilya ko lang ang iniisip ko....
Sir, nararapat lamang na gawin mo ang tama dahil para yan kapakanan ng pamilya mo. Barya na lang ang halagang 3M sa panahon ngayon. Pag nag break down ka ng mga gastos sa pag aaral pa lang...baka ilang sem lang yan 3M sa college. kaya ibayad mo na lang yan sir sa utang at huwag sayangin yung opportunity mo sa AU, In time lalaki rin sahod mo, wag lang mainip.

Hindi pa natin napag-uusapan yung damage sa image ng mga pilipino at pilipinas, high risk na nga tayo ngayon sa AU baka maging highest risk na at alam na nilang ginagawang takbuhan ang pilipinas ng mga ayaw mag-bayad ng utang.
